Express Delivery Company (EDC) is considering outsourcing its Payroll Department to a payroll processing company for an annual fee of $224,000. An internally prepared report summarizes the Payroll Department's annual operating costs as follows: EDC currently rents overflow office space for $40,000 per year. If the company closes its Payroll Department, the employees occupying the rented office space could be brought in-house and the lease agreement on the rented space could be terminated with no penalty. If the Payroll Department is outsourced the payroll clerks will not be retained; however, the supervisor would be transferred to the company's Human Resource Management Department. As result of this transfer, the company would discontinue its efforts to hire a new Human Resource Manager that it expected to pay an annual salary of $60,000. The Payroll Department's equipment would be transferred to other depaftments within the company to replace outdated equipment that would be recycled for zero salvage value
