Sage Company is operating at 90% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $15 per unit. The unit cost for the business to make the part is $20, including fixed costs, and $11, not including fixed costs. If 30,000 units of the part are normally purchased during the year but could be manufactured using unused capacity, what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it?
$150,000 cost increase ($20-$15 * 30,000 units)
In the manufacture of 10,000 units of a product, direct materials cost incurred was $165,000, direct labor cost incurred was $105,000, and applied factory overhead was $53,000. What is the total conversion cost?

Stryker Industries received an offer from an exporter for 15,000 units of product at $17.50 per unit. The acceptance of the offer will not affect normal production or domestic sales prices. The following data is available: Domestic unit sales price $20 Unit manufacturing costs: Variable 11 Fixed 1 What is the differential cost from the acceptance of the offer?
$165,000 Calculate the differential cost from the acceptance of the offer: Extra revenue = 15,000 units * $17.50 = $262,500 Profit of the acceptance of the export order = 15,000 units * ($17.50 -$11) = $97,500 (also 262500-165000 = 97500) Variable cost of the product = 15,000 units *$11 = $165,000 Therefore, the correct answer is $165,000. The differential cost of the offer is the variable cost per unit ($11) multiplied by the number of units (15,000). The fixed cost is not differential as it will not change for the entity as a whole with the acceptance of the offer. $11 x 15,000 units = $165,000
