Question

Quinn has capacity to make 950,000 zippers per year, but due to a soft market, only plans to produce and sell 620,000 zippers next year. LeatherStuff currently buys zippers from an outside supplier for $3.50 each (the same price that Style receives). Assume that Style and LeatherStuff have agreed on a transfer price of $3.25. What are the total cost savings for LeatherStuff?

Answer 1

$22,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total cost saving is shown below:

= Cost saving × number of zippers needed

= $0.25 × 90,000 zippers

= $22,500

We simply multiply the cost saving with the needed zipper so that accurate amount can come

The cost saving would be

= Outside supplier price - transfer price

= $3.50 - $3.25

= $0.25
