A manager invests $20,000 in equipment that would help the company reduce it's per unit costs from $15 to $12. He expects the eq
yKpoI14uk [10]

Since the cost of $20,000 has been incurred two years ago, the firm should check and see as to how many units of the product were produced in the two years. Did the firm produce enough items to break even the cost of acquisition. Additionally the business should also check the current market value of this two year old equipment. The business manager should weigh in the savings that is to be obtained from outsourcing along with the resale value of the old machine and then take a declension as to whether the company should go for outsourcing. Also, the business manager must examine whether the outsourcing can happen for the long run.

So a through cost benefit analysis should be made before taking a decision.
