accounting to managers discussion

The decision to outsource labor or buy components used in manufacturing from another company affects a wide range of manufacturing, merchandising, and service organizations. For example, a florist can provide payroll processing internally or can hire a third party to provide those services. A product should be made internally if the available costs are less than the additional costs that would be incurred by buying or outsourcing.
