Question

Coronado Industries can produce 100 units of a component part with the following costs: Direct Materials $24000 Direct Labor 8500 Variable Overhead 22000 Fixed Overhead 11000 If Coronado Industries can purchase the units externally for $60000, by what amount will its total costs change

Answer 1

Increase of $5,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the change in the total cost is given below:

Total cost at the time of producing is

= Direct material + direct labor + variable overhead

= $24,000 + $8,500 + $22,000

= $54,500

And, the cost of purchasing the unit is $60,000

So, there is an increase of

= $60,000 - $54,500

= $5,500
