Since we use 150,000 rolls a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $75,000,\u201d Wuksachi\u2019s actual cost to prepare these dinner rolls is shown below (based on 150,000 dinner rolls per year):Direct material$20,500Direct labor$36,200Variable overhead$20,800Fixed overhead ($2.80 general company overhead, $1.60 depreciation, and $0.75 supervision)$20,000Total cost per roll$0.65A decision about whether to make or buy the bread is especially important at this time, since the oven used to make the bread is completely worn out and must be replaced. The choices facing the restaurant are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Alternative 1:<\/em> Purchase a new baking oven and continue to make the rolls. The oven would cost $18,000; it would have ten years of useful life and no salvage value.<em>Alternative 2:<\/em> Purchase the dinner rolls from an outside supplier at 15 cents per roll under a one-year contract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The new baking oven would be more efficient than the oven that Wuksachi Restaurant has been using and, according to the manufacturer, would reduce direct labor and variable overhead costs by 20 percent. The restaurant would use the space now being used to produce the rolls for storage and an additional refrigerator.<strong>Your task:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1.To assist the director in the making a decision, prepare an analysis showing what the total cost and the cost per dinner roll would be under each of the two alternatives given above.
