The analysis shows the company would be paying $5 less than it costs to manufacture the containers in its own plant. According to the analysis, since they use 60,000 containers a year, that would be an annual cost savings of $300,000." Deep Earth's present cost to manufacture one container is given below.

Supervision costs ( $45,000 per year) and direct materials cost per container would not be affected by the new equipment. The new equipment's capacity would be 90,000 containers per year. The company has no other use for the space now being used to produce the containers. Alternative 2: Purchase the containers from an outside supplier at $18 per drum under a six-year contract.
