You are the owner of a shoe company. You learn that it would be cheaper

to have workers in Bangladesh make the shoes than it would be to have
workers in the United States make them. However, if you outsourced the work
to Bangladesh, your employees in the United States would lose their jobs.
Would you decide to outsource the work or not? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Being a businessman and being charitable at the same time is just next to impossible at the time of expanding one's firm.

Step-by-step explanation:

A business person's main motive has to be his ability to expand, so that he reaches that particular stage to do some charity for his fellow citizens. If you look at the unemployment part, then you must know that every person is somehow talented and in countries like the US, no one lives unemployed.

Therefore, it is necessary for a business person to calculate the cost factors, that does not only include the cost of labors, but also the cost of exporting the materials to Bangladesh and the cost of importing the final products. Then he needs to compare the total cost making the shoes in Bangladesh with making them via the US labors, and then take the decision accordingly.
