Make-or-Buy Decision
Matchless Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $61 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 44% of direct labor cost. The fully absorbed unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials | $26 |
Direct labor | 21 |
Factory overhead (44% of direct labor) | 9.24 |
Total cost per unit | $56.24 |
If Matchless Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 12% of the direct labor costs.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated February 24 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case. If required, round your answers to two decimal places. If an amount is zero, enter "0". For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

Differential Analysis for a Lease-or-Buy Decision
Urban Styles Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased from an overseas supplier for $3,000. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $660. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $430 per year over the four-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Urban Styles can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $1,360 per year for four years, with no additional costs.
Prepare a differential analysis dated December 11 to determine whether Urban Styles should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment. (Hint: This is a lease-or-buy decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the equipment user, as opposed to the equipment owner.) If an amount is zero, enter "0".
