Based on the above computations, it is not advisable to accept the outside offer since the company
will be able to save $ 90,000 in making their own carburetors instead of buying from the outside supp
The additional factor in deciding to continue making their own carburetors is that the facilities will not
have any alternative use if producing carburetors were to be discontinued by the company.
2. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to
launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $150,000 per year. Should
Troy Enginees, Ltd., accept the offer to buy the carburetors for $ 35 per unit?

Based on the above computations, it is advisable to accept the outside offer since the company
will lose $ 60,000 in savings if they free the capacity of making carburetors to give way to the product
of the new product that will provide a segment margin of $150,000.
