The company took the drug off the Market near the end of Year 1. During Year 2, the company was sued by 800 customers who had a severe allergic reaction to the company’s drug and required hospitalization. At the end of Year 2, the company’s attorneys estimated a 62% chance the company would need to make payments in the range of $2,500 to $7,000 to settle each claim, with all amounts in that range being equally likely. At the end of Year 3, while none of the cases had been resolved, the company’s attorney now estimated an 80% probability the company would be required to make payments in the range of $3,000 to $10,000 to settle each claim with all amounts in that range being equally likely.

Jason Kemp was torn between conflicting emotions. On the one hand, things were going so well. He had just completed 6 months as the assistant financial manager in the Electronics Division of Med-Products Inc. The pay was good, he enjoyed his coworkers, and he felt that he was part of a team that was making a difference in American health care. On the other hand, his latest assignment was causing some sleepless nights. Mel Cravens, his boss, had asked him to “refine” the figures on the division’s latest project—a portable imaging device code—named ZM. The original estimates called for investment of $15.6 million and projected annual income of $1.87 million. Med-Products required an ROI of at least 15% for new project approval. So far, ZM’s rate of return was nowhere near that hurdle rate. Mel encouraged him to show increased sales and decreased expenses in order to get the projected income above $2.34 million. Jason asked for a meeting with Mel to voice his concerns.
