Collier Bicycles has been manufacturing its own wheels for its bikes. The company is operating at 100% capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to its production at the rate of 30$ of direct labor costs. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make the wheels are $1.50 and $1.80, respectively. Normal production is 200,000 wheels per year. A supplier offers to make the wheels at a price of $4 each. If the bicycle company accepts this offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $42,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead being charged to the wheels will have to be absorbed by other products. a.
