Answer:

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.
