Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is (c)

Explanation:

Make-or-buy decision is a form of strategy to analyse if a product must be manufactured internally or sourced from outside suppliers.

Cost and benefits related to the product being produced internally or outsourced is studied and compared before arriving at a decision. If cost of producing and storing goods are less as compared to the cost incurred in outsourcing, then decision to make will be taken and vice-versa.

So, make-or-buy decision involves considering relevance of purchase price of goods sourced externally.
