A company manufactures one product. Variable costs are $600,000. Fixed Costs are $300,000. If it bought the product from another supplier, it could use existing machinery to make a contribution of $400,000. Fixed Costs would not change.
What is the maximum price it should pay to obtain the product from another supplier.
A. $600,000
B. $700,000
C. $900,000
d. $1,000,000

One should only consider relevant cost while making decisions of make or buy.
The option of $600.000/- is the correct answer.

1000,000 Maximum price to pay.
+300,000 Fixed Cost
-400,000 Contribution of machinery if purchased out side
=900,000 Manufacturing cost ( Fixed + Variable)
So can not go beyond 1,000,000
In my opinion option D is ok

Fixed cost is not non relevant cost (period cost) which must not be consider but you may be right since I take this question as Decision Making Qs as you've mention in your question the maximum price to pay.....
