Waterway Company manufactures widgets. Carla Vista Company has approached Waterway with a proposal to sell the company widgets at a price of $60100 for 100,000 units. Waterway is currently making these components in its own factory. The following costs are associated with this part of the process when 100,000 units are produced: Direct material $22700 Direct labour 21600 Manufacturing overhead 30500 Total $74800 The manufacturing overhead consists of $12600 of costs that will be eliminated if the components are no longer produced by Waterway. From Waterway's point of view, how much is the incremental cost or savings if the widgets are bought instead of made? O $14700 incremental cost O $14700 incremental savings O $3200 incremental savings O $3200 incremental cost

If the company accepts this offer and shuts down producon ofvalves, producon workers and supervisors will be reassigned to other areas. The equipment cannot be usedelsewhere in the company, and it has no market value. However, the space occupied by the producon of thevalve can be used by another producon group that is currently leasing space for $55,000 per year.What is the incremental savings of buying the valves?

Christian Banera Company currently manufacturing the 20,000 unit parts it uses in its product production. The cost per unit of this part is computed as follows: Direct materials Direct labor $24.70 16.50 2.30 Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Unit product cost 13.40 $56.90 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $51.80 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $44,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However, $5.10 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products.…
