p Marine International manufactures an aquarium pump and is trying to decide whether to produce the filter system in-house or si

gn an outsourcing contract with Bayfront Manufacturing to make the filter system. Marine’s expertise is producing the pumps themselves but they are considering producing the filter systems also. To establish a filter system production area at Marine International, the fixed cost is $300,000 per year and the company estimates their variable cost of production in-house at $12.25 per filter system. If Marine outsources the production of the filter system to Bayfront, Bayfront will charge Marine $30 per filter system. Should Marine International outsource the production of the filter system to Bayfront if Marine sells 25,000 pumps a year?

Answer:

Cost of in house production at 25000 units= $606250

Cost of outsourcing option at 25000 units= $750000

Thus, Marine international should produce the filter in house at a demand level of 25000 filters as the cost of in house production ($606250) is less than that of the outsourcing option ($750000).

Explanation:

To decide whether to outsource or not will depend on the total cost of each option incurred under certain production or demand level. The option providing the lowest total cost at that level will be chosen.

We first need to determine the cost of each option and see where the total cost for each item equates.

Cost of in house production = 300000 + 12.25x

Where, x is the number of units.

Cost of in house production = 300000 + 12.25 (25000)

Cost of in house production = $606250

Cost of outsourcing option = 30x

Cost of outsourcing option = 30 (25000)

Cost of outsourcing option = $750000

Thus, Marine international should produce the filter in house at a demand level of 25000 filters as the cost of in house production ($606250) is less than that of the outsourcing option ($750000).

                    Job 33                  $ 7,500  

                      Job 34               $ 6,000

                                                 $13,500

Materials Requisitions Forms  labourTickets Status of Job at Month-End

job 33   $ 3,500                         $ 6,500   Completed and sold

Job 34   6,000                            7,800  Completed, but not sold

Job 35 4,200                               3,250                  In process

         $ 15,000                             $ 19,690                      

1)Journal to Record the issuance of raw materials to production.

Account                                                               Debit           Credit

work in progress inventory (15,000- 1300)   13,700

Manufacturing overhead                                    1,300

Raw material inventory                                                      $15,000

2)Journal to Record the Payroll costs

Account                                                               Debit           Credit

work in progress inventory (19,690- 2, 140)   17,550

Manufacturing overhead                                    2,140

wages payable                                                                   $19, 690

3)Journal to Record application of manufacturing overhead to production

Account                                                               Debit           Credit

work in progress inventory (17,550 x 150 %)  $26,325

Manufacturing overhead                                                  $26,325

4) Compute the cost of Jobs 33, 34, and 35 at the end of the month.

                                   job 33           job 34        job 35

opening cost--             7500            6000               0

material cost--               3500         6000            4200

labour cost--                  6500          7800            3250

overhead cost

at 150% labour cost        9750          11,700       4875

total                         $27,250           $31,500    $12,325

5)Calculate the balance

Work in Process Inventory= job 35 since work in progress=$12,325

Finished Goods Inventory= job 34 since Completed, but not sold=$31,500

and Cost of Goods Sold = job 33  Completed, and sold =  $27,250
