    If Caro outsources only the Maintenance department, she should pay not more than $11,000, the avoidable Fixed Costs is incidental to her operations and not that of the outsource partner thus the $5,000 shouldn't be included as a payment due the Outsource Partner.

    Caro decision case

    Maintenance department total costs:

    Variable - $11,000

    Avoidable fixed costs - $5,000

    Total costs (if not outsourced) = $16,000
