The new machine would incur $800 per month additional running costs; this includes $300 per month of additional depreciation.
The new machine would save on direct labor time. This means that the fixed production overhead absorbed by the product on the basis of direct labor hours would reduce by $100 per month.
What is the total cost of the above that is relevant to the decision to purchase the machine?
