Direct materials $ 63.00 Direct labor 37.00 Overhead 126.50 Total $226.50 Overhead costs include variable material handling costs of $7.10, which are applied to products on the basis of direct material costs. The remainder of the overhead costs are applied on the basis of direct labor dollars and consist of 60% variable costs and 40% fixed costs. A vendor has offered to supply the IMC2 component at a price of $255.00 per unit. (a) Prepare the incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy IMC2. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).) Make IMC2 Buy IMC2 Net Income Increase (Decrease) Direct material $ $ $ Direct labor Material handling Variable overhead Purchase price Total unit cost $ $ $
