Exercise 39

For years, companies have been announcing outsourcing decisions and plant closings. Check the recent business news (e.g., http://www.wsj.com or http://www.businessweek.com ) for this type of announcement. Go to the company's website for information on the decision. Write a brief (one- to two-page) description of the decision, and speculate on what types of costing information might have led to it.
