A jalapeno canning company is faced with a make/buy decision. Cardboard shipping cartons can be purchased for $0.60 each or made in-house. If manufactured, two machines will be required. Machine X will cost $20,000 and have a life of 6 years with a $2,000 salvage value. Machine Y will cost $11,000 and have a life of 4 years with no salvage value. The annual maintenance cost for machines X and Y are $6,000 and $5,000 per year, respectively. A total of 4 operators will be required for the two machines at a rate of $22.50 per hour per person.
