The costs for making each cookie are:- Materials: $0.26- Direct labor: $0.21- Overhead (without increasing capacity): $0.57The overhead cost of $0.57 includes $0.36 allocated per cookie for fixed overhead, which would remain unchanged if Mel’s makes the cookies.Mel himself has come to you for advice. He estimates making cookies will cost $1.04 per unit versus buying them for $0.84. Should he continue purchasing them? Note: Materials and labor are variable costs; variable overhead is $0.21 per cookie. Two cookies are put into every lunch.**Exercise 4-47 (Algo): Make-or-Buy Decisions (Learning Objective LO 4-4)****Task**a. Prepare a schedule to show differential costs per cookie.
