Fuel ......................$8,000
Depreciation of tractor, mowers, and other
miscellaneous equipment..............$12,000
Total ......................$302,000
If Oakland College out sources maintenance, it will be able to sell equipment for $30,000, and the three gardeners will be laid off.
Required:
a. Analyze the one-year financial impact of outsourcing grounds maintenance.
b. How will savings in the second year differ from those in year 1?
c. Discuss qualitative factors that should be considered in the decision.
