Explanation:

                            Differential analysis

                                               Make                                Buy

Direct material   (62000I*32) $1,984,000

Direct labor              (62000*12)  $744,000

Variable overhead   (62000*15)  $930,000

Purchase cost                                                      (62000*66) $4,092,000

Total relevant cost                      $3,658,000                         $4,092,000
