    If Impala decides to buy from the external source, it would then save the fixed of $1,750

    Decision: Impala should be buy from the external source

    Explanation:

    To determine the appropriate course of action, we shall determine whether there would be a net savings in cash flow as a result of purchasing externally or not.

    The relevant cash flows figures include:

    Internal variable cost of production External purchase price Savings in internal; fixed cost as result of buying outside

    Variable cost of internal production = 42,000 + 8,750 + 15,750 = 66,500

    Increase in variable cost if purchased externally = 66500 - 66500 = 0

    If Impala decides to buy from the external source, it would then save the fixed of $1,750

    Decision: Impala should be buy from the external source
