Exercise 23-2 Make or buy LO P1 Gelb Company currently manufactures 43,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $5.15 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $73,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $78,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 43,000 units and buying 43,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier

Answer:

If the company buys the units, it will save $135,350.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of units= 43,000

Make in-house:

Variable costs are $5.15 per unit

Avoidable fixed costs= $73,000

Buy:

Unitary cost= $3.7

We will take into account only the incremental cost, therefore, the unavoidable fixed costs will not be taken into account.

Total cost of production= 43,000*5.15 + 73,000= $294,450

Total cost of purchase= 3.7*43,000= $159,100

If the company buys the units, it will save $135,350.

Murray Exports (U.S.) exports heavy crane equipment to several Chinese dock facilities. Sales are currently 10,000 units per year at the yuan equivalent of $24,000 each. The Chinese yuan (renminbi) has been trading at Yuan8.20/$, but a Hong Kong advisory service predicts the renminbi will drop in value next week to Yuan9.00/$, after which it will remain at that rate for the foreseeable future. Based onthis forecast, Murray Exports faces a pricing decision in the face of the impending devaluation. It may either (1) maintain the same yuan price and in effect sell for fewer dollars, in which case Chinese volume will not change; or (2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the yuan price in China to offset the devaluation, and experience a 10% drop in unit volume. In both cases, direct costs per unit are 75% of the current U.S. sales price of $24,000.
A. What would be the short-run(one-year) impact of each pricing stragety?
B. Which do recommend?
