Make Versus Buy: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers volume and variable cost to make. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Make Versus Buy Calculator is a planned calculator in the business section of Super Calculator, covering operations.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: volume, variable cost to make, avoidable fixed cost, purchase price, logistics, management cost and capacity opportunity cost.
Outputs: cost of each option (currency), breakeven volume, cost per unit and decision at the entered volume.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Compares relevant cost of making (incremental variable cost + avoidable fixed cost + opportunity cost of capacity) against buying (purchase price + inbound logistics + quality and vendor management cost). Unavoidable fixed overhead is excluded because it is incurred either way.
