Claris Water Company makes and sells filters for water drinking fountains for the public. The filter sells for $50. Recently a make/buy analysis was done based on the need for new manufacturing equipment. The equipment first cost of $200,000 and $25,000 annual operation cost comprise the fixed cost, while Claris’s variable cost is $20 per filter.
