The analysis is: Per Unit Differential Costs 30,000 Units Make Buy Make Buy Cost of purchasing $21.00 $630,000 Cost of making: Han Products Direct materials $3.60 $108,000 Direct labor 10.00 300,000 Variable overhead 2.40 72,000 Fixed overhead 3.00* 90,000 Total cost $19.00 $21.00 $570,000 $630,000
