Beto Company pays $4.70 per unit to buy a part for one of the products it manufactures. With excess capacity, the company is considering making the part. Making the part would cost $4.50 per unit for direct materials and $1.00 per unit for direct labor. The company normally applies overhead at the predetermined rate of 200% of direct labor cost. Incremental overhead to make the part would be 80% of direct labor cost.

Required:
a. Prepare a make or buy analysis of costs for this part. (Enter your answers rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Here, we are decide the best option between making the part or buying the part.

a.                  Make or Buy Analysis

Particulars                              Make amount    Buy amount

Direct Materials                            $4.50

Direct Labor                                $1.00  

Overhead (80% of Direct Labor)    $0.80  

Cost to buy                                                      $4.70

Cost per unit                              $5.70              $4.70

Cost Difference = $5.70 - $4.70

Cost Difference = $1.00

Therefore, the cost difference of making amount over buying amount is $1.00.

b. Because of the difference, Beto should buy the part because its cost is lesser than to make the part.

Therefore, the buying of the part is the best decision.
