Answer:
Financial disadvantage = 45,750
Explanation:
First of all, we need to sort out the data given in this question.
Data Given:
Per Unit Direct materials = $ 3.60
Direct labor = $ 8.20
Variable manufacturing overhead = $ 8.70
Supervisor's salary = $ 4.10
Depreciation of special equipment = $ 2.50
Allocated general overhead = $ 7.70
Offer by outside supplier = $27.50
So,
Cost of making = [(3.60+8.20+8.70+2.50)*16,500]+28,500 (Opportunity cost)
Cost of Making = (23*16,500)+28,500
Cost of Making = 408,000
Cost of buying = 16,500*27.50
Cost of buying = 453,750
Financial disadvantage = Cost of making - Cost of buying
Financial disadvantage = 453,750 - 408,000
Hence,
Financial disadvantage = 45,750
