Beto Company pays $3.90 per unit to buy a part for one of the
products it manufactures. With excess capacity, the company is
considering making the part. Making the part would cost $3.30 per
unit for direct materials and $1.00 per unit for direct labor. The
company normally applies overhead at the predetermined rate of 200%
of direct labor cost. Incremental overhead to make the part would
be 80% of direct labor cost.

(a) Prepare a make or buy analysis of costs
for this part. (Enter your answers rounded to 2
decimal places.)
(b) Should Beto make or buy the part?
