Futura Company purchases 66,000 starters from a supplier at $10.60 per unit that it installs in farm tractors. Due to a reduction in output, the company now has enough idle capacity to produce the starters rather than buying them from the supplier.

The total rent on the plant is $82,000 per period. Required: What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of making the 66,000 starters instead of buying them from an outside supplier?
