    Complete Question:

    Cruise Company produces a part that is used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit manufacturing costs of this part, assuming a production level of 6,000 units, are as follows:

    Direct materials$4.00

    Direct labor$4.00

    Variable manufacturing overhead$3.00

    Fixed manufacturing overhead$1.00

    Total cost$12.00

    The fixed overhead costs are unavoidable.

    Assuming Cruise Company can purchase 6,000 units of the part from Suri Company for $14 each, and the facilities currently used to make the part could be rented out to another manufacturer for $24,000 a year, what should Cruise Company do?

    A) Make the part and save $6.00 per unit.

    B) Make the part and save $2.00 per unit.

    C) Buy the part and save $2.00 per unit.

    D) Buy the part and save $1.00 per unit.

    Answer:

    Option (B) Buy the part and save $1.00 per unit

    Explanation:

    The cost benefit analysis is as under:

    Option 1

    Costs and savings associated with not renting out the factory and making sales of 6000 units of the part:

    Total Variable Cost (4+4+3) $11 * 6000 = ($66000)

    The Revenue earned = 6000 * 14 = $84000

    Net Savings $18000

    Option 2

    Costs and revenues arising due to renting out of factory and not selling the 6000 units of the product part is

    Revenue from renting Out $24000

    lost of Contribution $3 * 6000 ($18000)

    Net Savings $6000

    Decision:

    As the savings from option 1 are higher so the company must not rent out the factory and can save $2 ($18000 savings / 6000 units) by making the product in home.
