(TCO D) Rosiek Corporation uses part A55 in one of its products. The
company's accounting department reports the following costs of
producing the 4,000 units of the part that are needed every year.

Per Unit
Direct Materials
Direct Labor
Variable Overhead
Supervisor's Salary
Depreciation of Special Equipment
Allocated General Overhead

$2.80
$6.30
$8.50
$2.60
$6.80
$6.10

An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the
company for $32.30 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary
and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The
special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago
and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead
represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier's offer
were accepted, only $4,000 of these allocated general overhead costs
would be avoided. In addition, the space used to produce part A55 could
be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating
an additional segment margin of $26,000 per year for that product.
Required:
i. Prepare a report that shows the effect on the company's total net
operating income of buying part A55 from the supplier rather than
continuing to make it inside the company.
ii. Which alternative should the company choose?
