Problem 2
Break Even Quantity = ($25000-3000)/(12-8) = 5500
Cost at Break Even Point = 5500 x $8 + $25000 = $69,000
For 4500 units,
Buy Option should be chosen, as quantity is lower than break even
point.
Cost Savings = ($25000+4500*8) - ($3000+4500*12) = $4000
For 6000 units,
Make Option should be chosen, as quantity is greater than break
even point.
Cost Savings = ($3000+6000*12) - ($25000+6000*8) = $2000
