BKF.com provides banks access to sophisticated financial information and analysis via the web, enabling them to instantly evaluate both personal and commercial loan applications. To better focus on its client services, BKF.com is considering outsourcing some of its internal functions. Its controller, Jenny Lee, suggests starting with the company's internal email system. She recently attended a conference and learned that GTE and NBC outsource their email function to companies such as Google and Yahoo. Lee began her analysis by identifying the total costs related to last month's in-house email operation, when there were 3,630 employee mailboxes: Variable Costs (varies with mailboxes) Email license $15,246 Virus protection license 7,260 Miscellaneous 9,438 Fixed Costs Computer hardware 37,752 Total costs $69,696 Lee analyzed the computer hardware costs, identifying its three components: 1. $16,611 were allocated costs that will continue even if the email system is abandoned. 2. $6,040 were non-personnel direct costs that will be avoided if the email system is abandoned. 3. $15, 101 were the monthly salaries for two, equally paid interns who worked only on the email system. Mail.com, a leading provider of internet messaging outsourcing services, has offered to host BKF.com's email function for $12.40 per mailbox. BKF.com will still need to pay the virus protection license fee and one of the interns to maintain the virus protection software. A company has agreed to pay BKF.com $4,800 a month to use the computer storage space that will become available if BKF.com outsources its email function. Finally, Lee estimates that 3,885 mailboxes will be required per month next year. REQUIRED By how much will BKF.com's monthly profits change if they decide to outsource its email function to Mail.com instead of managing the service internally?
