Solution

The relevant costs to Golden of manufacturing the parts internally are the costs that will be avoided if the company stops manufacturing the part. These are the direct materials, direct labour, and variable manufacturing overhead, as well as the portion of fixed manufacturing overhead that will not continue if production is halted.

Here's how to calculate each:

  1. Direct Materials: 2perunitx5,000units=2 per unit x 5,000 units = 10,000
  2. Direct Labour: 9perunitx5,000units=9 per unit x 5,000 units = 45,000
  3. Variable Manufacturing Overhead: 3perunitx5,000units=3 per unit x 5,000 units = 15,000
  4. Avoidable Fixed Manufacturing Overhead: 6perunitx5,000unitsx(1/3)=6 per unit x 5,000 units x (1/3) = 10,000

Add these costs together to get the total relevant cost of manufacturing the parts internally:

10,000(DirectMaterials)+10,000 (Direct Materials) + 45,000 (Direct Labour) + 15,000(VariableOverhead)+15,000 (Variable Overhead) + 10,000 (Avoidable Fixed Overhead) = $80,000

So, the answer is a. $80,000.

Exercise 16-40 (Algo) Variable Cost Variances (LO 16-5)Golden Food Products produces special-formula pet food. The company carries no inventories. The master budget calls for the company to manufacture and sell 129,000 cases at a budgeted price of $60 per case this year. The standard direct cost sheet for one case of pet food follows:Direct materials (3 pounds @ $2) $ 6Direct labor (0.25 hours @ $32) 8Variable overhead is applied based on direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate is $16 per direct labor-hour. The fixed overhead rate (at the master budget level of activity) is $10 per unit.
