2. Based on George's assumptions that all of the remaining supervisor's costs are split

ongoing technology costs and postage costs are charged to accounts payable,

calculate the annual savings per function through offshoring.

3. Using the information that Charleston gathered on electronic payment processing,

determine the potential staff reduction and calculate the potential annual cost

savings from electronic processing of 50% of the accounts payable checks.
