Required:

a) X-Perience's accountants predict that purchasing the bindings from Livingston will enable the company to avoid $1,800 of fixed overhead. Prepare an analysis to show whether X-Perience should make or buy the bindings.

b) The facilities freed by purchasing bindings from Livingston can be used to manufacture another product that will contribute $2,800 to profit. Total fixed costs will be the same as if X-Perience had produced the bindings. Show which alternative makes the best use of X-Perience's facilities: a) make bindings, (b) buy bindings and leave facilities idle, or (c) buy bindings and make another product.
