At the BlueFin Bank corporate headquarters, management was discussing the potential of outsourcing the processing of credit card transactions to DataEase, an international provider of banking operational services. Processing of the transactions at BlueFin has been a costly element of the annual profit and loss statement and the continual investment in equipment to keep up to date has been draining capital reserves. Based upon initial study and negotiations, DataEase will charge $0.02 more per transaction than BlueFin’s cost per transaction, and DataEase will want $12 million per year to cover equipment and overhead costs associated with the contract. BlueFin has yet to develop an estimate for the annual overhead and fixed costs associated with processing the transactions. These costs include supervision, administrative support, maintenance, equipment depreciation, and overhead. If BlueFin must process 20 million transactions per year, how high must those fixed costs be before it would…

The CEO of the Baker Inc, wants to implement a new accounting system, to improve work flow through the company’s sales, cash receipts, accounts payable, and cash disbursement procedures. The CEO is, however, concerned about the potential disruption that the implementation will have on operations. In an announcement letter to Baker’s employees, the CEO stated that: “I have contracted Flybynight Consulting Group to do the needs analysis, system selection, and design work. The programming and implementation will be performed in-house using existing IT department staff. The development process will be unobtrusive to user departments because Flybynight knows what needs to be done. They will work independently, in the background, and will not disrupt departmental and internal audit work flow with time consuming interviews, surveys, and questionnaires. This promises to be an efficient process that will produce a system that will be appreciated by all users.”
