Concord Corporation produces 5000 units of part A12E. The following costs were incurred for that level of production: Direct materials $60000 Direct labor 165000 Variable overhead 80000 Fixed overhead 175000 If Concord buys the part from an outside supplier, $25000 of the fixed overhead is avoidable. If the outside supplier offers a unit price of $68, net income will increase (decrease) by:______.a. $15,000.b. $85,000.c. $130,000.d. $35,000.

Answer 1

b. $85,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we should prepare the analysis of cost savings if the company buys outside.

Analysis of cost and savings

Purchase (5,000 units × $68) = ($340,000)

Savings

Variable cost = $80,000

Fixed cost = $175,000

Net income effect

($85,000)

The effect is a decrease in net income by $85,000.
