The best strategy would be to cancel the job cuts till the time the market situation and the entry operations stabilize.

Answer: Option E

<u>Explanation:</u>

The decision of outsourcing the operations taken by the businesses is done to ease out the work and give it outside the company because they themselves can not work upon it. But if this leads to criticisms, then it should be stopped.

The best strategy that the computer company should have is to cancel the job cuts to get the positive reactions back. The company should not go to labor of other areas cutting jobs of its own labor because this will harm it's image in the market and affect the productivity.

Workings of schedule of cost of Goods Manufactured

Utilities =0.65 × 9,200 = 5,980

Insurance = 0.7 × 2,500 = 1,750

Rent Expense = 0.9 × 27,000 = 24,300

Factory equipment depreciation = Cost - Salvage value / Number of years

= 50,000 - 5,000 / 5

= 45,000 /5

= 9,000

Workings of cost of Goods sold

Cost of good sold = Beginning finished good inventory + Cost of Good Manufactured - Ending finished good inventory

Selling Expense = 0.35 × 34,700 = 12,145

Administrative expense = 0.3 × 30,900 = 9,270

10% of rent expense allocated to selling & Administrative

Selling = 0.1 × 34,700 = 3,470
