Direct materials$5.00 Direct labor 9.00 Overhead 10.00 Total costs per unit 24.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 66,000 units of RX5 for $19.00 per unit. Required: 1. Calculate the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5.

Answer 1

The incremental cost is $198,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Current cost per unit to manufacture = 66,000 units

Direct materials = $5.00

Direct labor= $9.00

Overhead = $10.00

Total cost per unit = $24.00

Incremental costs = $1,254,000 - $1,056,000 = $198,000
