Incremental Analysis

Instead of making these parts, our company has an opportunity to buy the parts at $14.00 per unit. If our company purchases the parts, all variable costs and one-half of the fixed costs will be eliminated.

1.          1. Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether our company should make or buy the parts.

1.          2. Would the answer be different if producing the units internally would generate additional income of $30,000?

Sales                                      800,000
Variable Expenses           550,000
Fixed Expenses                 300,000

If our company eliminates this product line, $30,000 of fixed costs will remain.
