Vista Company manufactures electronic equipment. In 2018, it purchased from an outside supplier the special switches used in each of its products. The supplier charged Vista $2.5 per switch. As an alternative, Vista's CEO considered purchasing either machine A or machine B so the company could manufacture its own switches. The CEO decided at the beginning of 2019 to purchase machine A, based on the following data: Annual fixed cost (depreciation) Variable cost per switch Machine A $170,000 0.80 Machine B $ 214,000 0.45 Required: 1.
