    Oriole should buy the wickets.

    Explanation:

    The variable cost of producing wickets is $22/unit.

    The fixed cost of production is $8/unit.

    The total cost of producing wickets is $30/unit.

    Saran company offers to sell 4900 units of wickets at $24.

    If wickets are purchased it will cost $24/unit.

    Since cost is lower when buying, Oriole should buy wickets.
