Your insurance firm processes claims through its two facilities: facility A and facility B. Each month, facility A handles 9,000 claims and incurs in $162,000 fixed costs and $180,000 in variable costs. Each month, facility B handles 11,000 and incurs $95,000 in fixed costs and $143,000 in variable costs.

If you anticipate a moderate decrease in the number of claims, you should lay off workers in facility_____ in order to decrease costs.

ANSWER OPTIONS: A, or B
