Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.Paul Duncan, financial manager of EduSoft Inc., is facing a dilemma.

Market Makers Incorporated (MMI) provides a range of services to its retail clients-customer
service for inquiries, order taking, credit checking for new customers, and a variety of related
services. Auto Supermarket (AS) is a large auto dealer that provides financing for the autos and
trucks that it sells. AS has approached MMI to manage the inquiries that come in regarding these
loans. AS is not satisfied with the performance of the call center it currently uses for handling
inquiries on these loans and is considering a change to MMI. MMI has been asked to estimate the
cost of providing the service for the coming year.
There are two types of loans at AS, one for autos and SUVS and another for light trucks. The loans
for auto and truck buyers typically have different types of customers and loan terms, so the nature

the AS engagement. The MMI call center's annual costs are as follows:
