Lightning Semiconductors produces 300,000 hi-tech computer chips per month
Each chip uses a component that Lightning makes in-house. The variable costs to make the component are $1.30 per unit, and the fixed costs are $1,200,000 per month. The company has been approached by a foreign producer who can supply the component, within acceptable quality standards, for $1.00 each. The fixed costs are unavoidable, and Lightning would have no other use for the facilities currently employed in making the component.

A) There would be no effect on operating income.

C) Lightning Semiconductors could save $90,000 per month in costs.
