    1. Total cost of making = $1,632,000.

    2) Incremental cost of buying $204,000

    3.) The company should make the product as it will save $204,000 by doing so

    Explanation:

    1) Total cost of making = unit cost * units required cost

    Total cost of making = 24.00 * 68,000 = 1,632,000.0

    2) Total incremental cost of buying

    Relevant cost of making

    Unit variable cost = (5.00 + 9.00 + (30% * 10) = 17

    Total variable cost of making = 17 * 68,000 = 1,156,000

    Relevant cost of buying 68,000 * 20 = 1,360,000

    Incremental cost of buying 204,000

    3) Haver should make the product as it will save $204,000 by doing so
