12) Teich Inc. is considering whether to continue to make a component or to buy it from
an outside supplier. The company uses 15,000 of the components each year. The unit
product cost of the component according to the company’s absorption cost accounting
system is given as follows:
Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Of the fixed manufacturing overhead, 10%
is avoidable if the component were bought from the outside supplier; the remainder is
not avoidable. In addition, making the component uses 3 minutes on the machine that is
the company’s current constraint. If the component were bought, time would be freed up
for use on another product that requires 6 minutes on this machine and that has a
contribution margin of $8.10 per unit.

component should be compared to the price of buying the component?
