Victory Electronics makes a part used in the manufacture of desktop computers.  Management is considering whether to continue manufacturing the part, or to buy the part from an outside source at a cost of $27.00 per part. Victory Electronics needs 80,000 parts per year. The cost of manufacturing 80,000 parts is computed as follows:

Direct materials$750,000
Direct labour600,000
Variable manufacturing overhead525,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead     650,000
Total manufacturing costs$2,525,000

If Victory Electronics buys the part, it would pay $.40 per unit to transport the parts to its manufacturing plant.  Purchasing the part from an outside source would enable the company to avoid 40% of fixed manufacturing overhead costs.  Victory Electronics's factory space freed up by purchasing the part from an outside supplier could be used to manufacture another product with a contribution margin of $65,000.

Prepare an analysis to show which alternative makes the best use of Victory Electronics's factory space:
1.  Make the part.
2.  Buy the part and leave facilities idle.
3.  Buy the part and use facilities to make another product.
