Solution and Explanation:

The following is the incremental analysis for the make - or the buy decision to be made by the Parks corporation based on the data given in the question

Incremental cost to buy - 54000 = 3000 multiply with 18

Incremental savings on direct materials 9000 = 3000 multiply with 3

Incremental savings on direct labor 21000 = 3000 multiply with7

Incremental savings on variable overhead 12000 = 3000 multiply with4

Incremental savings on fixed overhead 6000 = 3000 multiply with2

Incremental net cost to buy - 6000
