The Theater Arts Guild of Miami (TAG-M) employs five people in its Publication Department. These people lay out pages for pamphlets, brochures, magazines, and other publications for the TAG-M productions. The pages are delivered to an outside company for printing. The company is considering an outside publication service for the lay out work. The outside service is quoting a price of $15 per lay out page. The budget for the Publication Department for the current year is as follows:

Salaries	$247,500
Benefits	56,300
Supplies	30,000
Office expenses	37,500
Office depreciation	33,800
Computer depreciation	22,500
Total	$427,600

The department expects to lay out 25,000 pages for the current year. The Publication Department office space and equipment would be used for future administrative needs, if the department's function were purchased from the outside.
