The costs per stapler are as follows: Direct materials $ 3 Direct labor 7 Variable overhead 4 Fixed overhead 7 Total $ 21 Gallup Company has contacted Parks with an offer to sell it 3,000 staplers for $18 each. $5 of the fixed overhead per unit is unavoidable. Prepare an incremental analysis for the make-or-buy decision.

Answer 1

Solution and Explanation:

The following is the incremental analysis for the make - or the buy decision to be made by the Parks corporation based on the data given in the question

Incremental cost to buy -54000 =          3000 multiply with 18

Incremental savings on direct materials 9000 =3000 multiply with 3

Incremental savings on direct labor 21000 =3000 multiply with7

Incremental savings on variable overhead 12000 =3000 multiply with4

Incremental savings on fixed overhead 6000 =3000 multiply with2

Incremental net cost to buy -6000
