Sage Company is operating at 90% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $13.00 per unit. The unit cost for the business to make the part is $20.00, including fixed costs, and $11.00, excluding fixed costs.

Answer:

Cost difference= $64,808 cost decrease

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $13

Make in-house:

Variable cost per unit= $11

Fixed cost per unit= $9

Production in units= 32,404

To determine whether it is more convenient to make the part in-house or buy it, we need to take into account only the variable cost per unit. We leave out of the decision the fixed costs because they remain constant in both options.

Buy= 32,404*13= $421,252

Make= 32,404*11= $356,444

Cost difference= $64,808 decrease
