    Epsilon should make the product instead of buying it

    Explanation:

    Direct material = $8.4

    Direct labor = $24.4

    Overhead = $42

    Relevant cost = $8.4 + $24.4 + ($42x70%)

    Relevant cost = $8.4 + $24.4 + $29.4

    Relevant cost = $62.2

    Cost to make = $62.2

    Cost to buy = $66.2

    Difference = $4

    Epsilon should make this product instead of buying it from another supplier

    because the cost to make the product is much lower than buying it.
