Sheridan, Inc. currently manufactures a wicket as its main product. The costs per unit are as follows:

Direct materials and direct labor $13

Variable overhead 5

Fixed overhead 8

Total $26

Saran Company has contacted Sheridan with an offer to sell it 5900 of the wickets for $20 each. If Sheridan makes the wickets, variable costs are $18 per unit. Fixed costs are $8 per unit; however, $5 per unit is unavoidable.

Should Sheridan make or buy the wickets?

    Answer

    Sheridan should buy because doing so would save it $5900

    Explanation

    To determine the right course of action we will consider the relevant cost of making and buying

    The relevant cost of making $

    Variable cost (18 * 5,900 106200

    Fixed cost (3 * 5,900) 17700

    Total cost 123,900

    Relevant of buying (20 * 5,900) = 118,000

    Saving in cost by buying = 123,900 - 118,000 = $5900
