The new sauce for this pizza is a unique, special recipe and it resulted in very positive taste test ratings in market research studies. The supply manager is trying to decide if the company should make or buy this sauce. The current forecast is for 130,000 total gallons of the sauce to be used over the estimated three-year life of the product. The first year, 30.000 gallons are forecast with 50,000 gallons each in years two and three. Currently, Big Apple purchases all of the sauce used in its products, ready-made, from a single source, Top Tomato. The supplier's production plant is located 320 miles from Big Apple's production plant, and weekly truckload deliveries are currently used. The company buys approximately 600,000 gallons of sauce per year from Top Tomato. The sauce supplier has provided high quality, low-cost standard pizza sauces to Big Apple and other pizza makers for over five years. The current sauce supplier has quoted a delivered price of $2.95/gallon for the sauce if a three-year contract is used. Conformance to quality standards for Top Tomato's sauce has been 99 percent and on- time delivery has been 95 percent.
