Answer:
a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.
- Cost for Plan A = ($0.41 x 120) + ($0.16 x 40) + $20 = $
75.60
- Cost for Plan B = ($0.51 x 120) + ($0.15 x 40) + $20 = $
87.20
- Cost for Plan C = $80 + $20 = $100
b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?
- If the agent will use the service only for daytime calls, Plan A is better if the agent uses 195 minutes maximum. If the agent expects to use 196 or more minutes, then Plan C is better.
c. Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B?
- Plan A charges 10¢ less per daytime minute, while plan B charges 1¢ less for evening minutes, that means that the proportion of daytime calls should be 1/11, while the proportion of evening calls should be 10/11.
Answer:
A) Outsourcing

Outsourcing refers to a business practice where a company gets some of the intermediate goods or services it needs from external suppliers (other companies).
