2. Make or Buy Decision
If we purchase the 1000 pcs of Bearings, from the third party then the calculation should be like the following:
The difference between purchasing & Producing cost is= (23000-14000) = 9000/=
So as per given information I will prefer to produce the Bearings instead of Buying from third party.
3. Depreciation: Relevant or irrelevant Cost.
As per financial Statement, Depreciation is a non-cash item. Since it does not impact on cash flows, non-cash items are
frequently categorized as irrelevant costs for management decisions. Though a fixed asset is already purchased from the
supplier that means the cost of fixed asset purchase is already done for the certain time, so the Depreciation cost is
irrelevant for the make or buy decision.
The Depreciation will become the relevant when we will take the decision for buying something from any
vendor/supplier, instead of producing the product. If the supplier/Vendor includes the Depreciation cost in the Product
price, then we should ignore the Depreciation cost to reduce the product price. In this situation the Depreciation Cost is
relevant to make the decision.
