b)

Financial factors. See notes below

T<em>o determine whether or not to  outsource the function, we will compare the cost of the internal department to the cost of the external supplier. And go for the option wit the lower cost</em>

<em>Internal cost</em>

Running cost (3×1,500×12)                  54000

Opportunity cost                               =<u> 24,000</u>

Total cost                                              <u>78000 </u>

<em>External cost</em> (4×  1500×12)                  72000

Sounds Inc should outsource the call center service because it is cheaper and will help to save cost worth (78,000- 72000)= $6,000

Financial factors

<em>Service Quality</em>. Sound Inc need to be sure that the quality of service to be provided wont be undermined.

Answer:

a. $1508

Explanation:

June 1    150 units

June 10  200 units

June 15  200 units

June 28  150 units

Total       700 units

labwork [276]

the opportunity cost of going to a movie is: the total cash expenditure needed to go to the movie plus the value of your time.

What you forgo in order to get a thing is its opportunity cost. In this situation, the opportunity cost of attending a movie comprises both the overall cost of admission and the value of the time you forwent to see the film.

<h3>What is an example of opportunity cost?</h3>

Opportunity costs give decisions that appear simple context. Think about the price of graduate school. By adding up the price of tuition, board, books, and other educational expenses over the necessary number of years at your top-choice university, you might theoretically calculate this cost. Let's zoom in though. What other options are there? First of all, you shouldn't even think about paying for room and board because you'll need to do so regardless of whether you go graduate school (unless you're moving back into your mother's basement). Additionally, by choosing to go graduate school, you forgo the money you would have earned had you chosen to start working after receiving your bachelor's degree.
