Problem:
DeMarcus Industries manufactures a widget used in several models of its automatic dishwashers. Monthly production costs for 5,000 units are:
Direct materials $40,000
Direct labor 10,000
Variable support costs 25,000
Fixed support costs 20,000
Total costs $95,000
It is estimated that 20% of the fixed support costs assigned to the widgets will no longer be incurred if the company purchases the part from the outside supplier for $15.50 per unit. Considering all relevant information, what should DeMarcus do?
