Ah, the age-old question of 'who's responsible for the copier toner?' Clearly, B) is the answer. Outsourcing is all about passing the buck, my friends.

It makes sense that the staff costs would now be considered service-supplier costs.

B) is the way to go here. These outsourced printing people are not my problem anymore - they're the supplier's problem now. Time to sit back and let someone else handle the printing drama.

This question is a real head-scratcher. I guess it's trying to trip us up with that whole 'on the premises' thing, but the answer is clearly B. No one outsources just to keep the same old costs, right?

B) is the right answer. Outsourcing the printing services means the printing staff are now considered a service-supplier cost, not a staff cost.

A) is correct. The staff are still on the company's premises, so they should be considered staff costs even though the printing services are outsourced.
