Currently, HG has employees who deliver the groceries, but the company is considering the option of contracting out deliveries. The fixed cost of the grocery delivery operation is $500,000 per year, of which, $200,000 is avoidable if grocery deliveries are contracted out. A statistical study suggests delivery costs vary with both the number of customers and the number of items purchased.
