Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
Max company makes use of 20,000 units of part A to manufacture its product
A supplier offers to produce part A for $7
Max company has relevant costs to $8 per unit to produce part A
Therefore, the opportunity cost of not buying part A from the supplier can be calculated as follows
Opportunity cost= 20,000 units of part A($8-$7)
= 20,000 units×$1
= 20,000×$1
= $20,000
Hence the opportunity cost of not buying part A from the supplier when there is excess capacity is $20,000
