Each year, Madsen Company purchases 8,000 units of a part that it needs for production of its product. The supplier notified Madsen Company that a price increase will take effect shortly, which will bring the price of the part to $25 per part. Madsen Company is considering the use of idle facilities to produce the part. The annual production costs to produce the needed 8,000 parts are as follows:
Direct materials $17,500
Direct labor 30,000
Variable indirect production costs 14,000
Fixed indirect production costs 33,500
The idle facilities could also be rented out at an annual rent of $99,000. All the fixed indirect production costs are avoidable.
Determine if Madsen Company should buy the part or produce it internally.
