Homework Answers

Answer #1

1)

Total cost to make = $600,000 + $900,000

= $1,500,000

Total cost to buy = (100,000 X $4.50) + $900,000 - $159,000

= $1,191,000

Total cost to buy is less than total cost to make.

Accepting the supplier’s offer would increase the net operating income.

= $1,500,000 - $1,191,000

= $309,000

3rd option
