Other variable costs...............$4
Fixed Costs
Computer hardware costs............$94,300 per month
$8,050 monthly salary for two information technology staff members who work only on e-mail..........................$16,100 per month
Required:
Compute the total cost per mailbox per month of Madeira Travel Services' current e-mail function.
Suppose that a leader provider of Internet-messaging outsourcing services offers to host Madeira e-mail function for $9 per mailbox per month. If Madeira agrees, it still would need virus protection, computer hardware and one IT person. Should they accept the offer?
Suppose for an additional $5 per mailbox per month, the outsourcer would provide virus protection, quarantine, and content-management services, which would eliminate Madeira's need for IT person and virus protection. Should they accept the additional services?
