A manufacturer has three options for obtaining a machined
part:
1. Buy the part at $200 per unit; no fixed cost.
2. Make the part on a numerically controlled semiautomatic lathe at $75 per unit; fixed
cost is $80,000.
3. Make the part on a machining center at $15 per unit; fixed cost is $200,000.
Assume that we sell the part at $300/unit.
A) What would be the best choice if expected demand were:
500 units?
1,000 units?
2,500 units?
Which option should the manufacturer choose? - Answers -1. (Buy the part): $200 x
Demand
2. (Make the part on a semiautomatic lathe) = $80,000 + ($75 x Demand)
3. (Make the part on a machining center). $200,000 + ($15 x Demand)
Lets compute:
(FC1 -FC2) / (VC1-VC2)
$200x = $80,000 + 75x
$125x = $80,000
= 640 Units
$80,000 + 75x = $200,000 + $15x
