S Corporation makes 41,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials $ 10.00 Direct labor $ 9.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.70 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.65 An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to S Corporation for this motor is $25.45.

Answer:

$112,750

Explanation:

Particulars                                Cost of making               Cost of buying

Direct material                       41,000*10=410,000                  0

Direct labor                            41,000*9=369,000                   0

Variable manuf. overhead    41,000*3.70=151,700                0

Fixed manuf. overhead         41,000*4.65=190,650    41,000*4.65=190,650

Outside supplier's price                      0                        41,000*25.45=1,043,450

Total cost                                      $1,121,350                      $1,234,100

Financial advantage of making the motors = $1,234,100 - $1,121,350

Financial advantage of making the motors = $112,750
