Answer:
Option 2 should be selected
Explanation:
Using a rational approach which option most benefit and have a minimum cost. We will use the break-even level here to decide which option should be selected.
Option 1
Price per call = $30
Variable cost per call = $18
Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $30 - $18 = $12
Fixed Cost = $15,000
Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $15,000 / $12 = 1,250 calls
Option 2
Price per call = $30
Variable cost per call = $18 + ( $30 x 10% ) = $18 + $3 = $21
Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $30 - $21 = $9
Fixed Cost = $9,000
Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $9,000 / $9 = 1,000 calls
Difference = 1,250 calls - 1,000 calls = 250 calls
Option 2 is better option because it take 250 less calls to reach at break-even in the month. It should be selected.
Essentially, what this question is asking is: "what do the suppliers do?" The suppliers can be the producers, which means that they can produce the product, but they don't need to be, and they can buy the product off the produces and offer it to sell to the consumers: this is the correct answer also, to "offer to sell"
