Wild Ride's accountants predict that purchasing the bindings from Hemingway will enable the company to avoid $1,900 of fixed overhead. Prepare an analysis to show whether Wild Ride should make or buy the bindings. (Only enter the net relevant costs.

Decision: Requirement 2. The facilities freed by purchasing bindings from Hemingway can be used to manufacture another product that will contribute $2,800 to profit. Total fixed costs will be the same as if Wild Ride had produced the bindings. Show which alternative makes the best use of Wild Ride's facilities. (Only enter the net relevant costs.
