If Waterway accepts the offer, by how much will net income increase (decrease)?

If the company buys the subcomponent, the company will save $4,484.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 11,800 units

Direct materials= $9,912

Direct labor= $13,334

Variable overhead= $14,868

Total variable cost= $38,114

An outside supplier has offered to sell Waterway the subcomponent for $2.85 a unit.

We have no reason to believe that the fixed costs are avoidable. Therefore, they take no part in the decision making process.

Total cost of production= 38,114

Total cost of buying= 11,800*2.85= 33,630

If the company buys the subcomponent, the company will save $4,484.

the answer is 10c + 6b = 32
