Explanation:

Analysis Differential:  

                                             Make                            Buy

Cost of variable                        [tex]800\times 7 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 5600[/tex]  

Fixed- cost                             [tex]16000\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 16000[/tex]

Purchasing cost                                                    [tex]800\times 12\ = 9600[/tex]

Cost of opportunity            [tex]\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 9500[/tex]  

Total relevant cost                    [tex]31100 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 25600[/tex]

Increasing operating income [tex]= 31100-25600 = 5500[/tex]
