Question
  1. State University is considering hiring an outside company for its grounds maintenance. In this regard, State University has received a bid from Mackin Services. Mackin states that its bid of $410,000 will cover all services and planting materials required to “keep State University’s grounds in a condition comparable to prior years.” State University’s cost for grounds maintenance in the preceding year was $412,000 as follows:

Salary of three full-time gardeners                                     $295,000

Plant materials                                                                       80,000

Fertilizer                                                                                  9,000

Fuel                                                                                         8,000

Depreciation of other equipment                                             5,000

Depreciation of tractor and mowers                                       15,000

Total                                                                                  $412,000

If State University hires Mackin, it will be able to sell its other equipment for $30,000, and the three gardeners will be laid off. What will savings be in the second year?
