Accounting
Arches Manufacturing had always made its components in-house. However, Canyonlands Component Works had recently offered to supply one component, DA, at a price of $52 each. Arches uses 12,500 units of component DA each year. The cost per unit of this component is as follows:
Line Item Description
Amount
Direct materials
$25.00
Direct labor
6.25
Variable overhead
15.75
Fixed overhead
7.00
Total
$54.00
Assume that 80% of Arches Manufacturing's fixed overhead for component DA would be eliminated if that component were no longer produced.
3. Conceptual Connection: By what dollar amount would the per-unit relevant fixed cost have to decrease before Arches would be indifferent (i.e., incur the same cost) between "making" versus "purchasing" the component? fill in the blank 1 of 1$
