Example :Make or buy decision
A company makes a product which requires two sequential operations(Operation 1 and Operation 2)on the same machine.The machine is fully utilised.Material costs$12 per unit.
Instead of carrying out Operation 1,the company could buy in components,for$15 per unit.This would allow production to be increased because the machine has to deal with only Operation 2.
Operation 1 takes 0.25 hours of machine time and Operation 2 takes 0.5 hours of machine time.Labour and variable overheads are incurred at a rate of$16/machine hour and the finished products sell for$30 per unit.
Should the company make the entire product internally or buy in the components and complete them in Operation 2?
Solution:
Some care is needed here to ensure all incremental cash flows caused by the decision are taken into account.
Machine running costs–the machine is already fully utilised on Operations 1 and 2 and will remain fully utilised,but only on Operation 2.Therefore,the machine running costs will not change,so are not relevant to the decision.
Material-if the buy-in option is accepted,the material cost increases from$12 to$15 per unit.
Production volume–this can increase by 50%because currently each item takes 0.5 hours in Operation 2,but 0.25 hours per unit will be released by Operation 1 which now will not be needed.
Assuming output is 1,000 units,the following would occur(ignoring labour and variable overheads which we know to be constant):
Therefore,it is worth buying in as incremental revenue exceeds incremental costs.

制造或购买决策
一家公司制造的产品需要在同一台机器上进行两次连续操作(操作1和操作2)。机器得到充分利用。材料成本为每件12美元。
该公司可以以每件15美元的价格购买组件,而不是执行操作1。这将允许增加产量,因为机器只需要处理操作2。
操作1需要0.25小时的机器时间,操作2需要0.5小时的机器时间。人工和可变间接费用的发生率为16美元/机器小时,成品售价为每单位30美元。
公司应该在内部制造整个产品还是购买组件并在操作2中完成它们?
解决方案:
这里需要注意确保所有由决策引起的增量现金流都被考虑在内。
机器运行成本-机器在操作1和2中已被充分利用,并将保持充分利用,但仅在操作2中。因此,机器运行成本不会改变,因此与决策无关。
材料-如果接受购买选项,材料成本将从每件12美元增加到15美元。
生产量——这可以增加50%,因为目前每个项目在操作2中需要0.5小时,但操作1将释放每件0.25小时,现在不需要了。
假设产量为1,000单位,将发生以下情况(忽略我们知道是恒定的劳动力和可变间接费用):
因此,当增量收入超过增量成本时,值得买入。
