A restaurant bakes its own bread for a cost of $164 per unit (100 loaves), including fixed costs of $32 per unit. A proposal is offered to purchase bread from an outside source for $97 per unit, plus $8 per unit for delivery.
Prepare a differential analysis dated August 16, to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the bread, assuming fixed costs are unaffected by the decision. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0".

Replace Equipment
A machine with a book value of $245,300 has an estimated six-year life. A proposal is offered to sell the old machine for $215,500 and replace it with a new machine at a cost of $283,900. The new machine has a six-year life with no residual value. The new machine would reduce annual direct labor costs from $50,300 to $40,200.
Prepare a differential analysis dated February 18, on whether to continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or replace the old machine (Alternative 2). If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.
