2. Using your answer to Requirement 1, assume that Reshier Company is considering dropping any model with a negative product
margin. What are the alternatives?
Keeping Model 1 or dropping it
Which alternative is more cost effective and by how much? (Assume that any traceable fixed costs can be avoided.) Do NOT round
interim calculations and, if required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Dropping Model 1 ✔ will add $ 67,500 X to operating income
3. What if Reshier Company can only avoid 172 hours of engineering time and 4,850 hours of setup time that are attributable to
Model 1? How does that affect the alternatives presented in Requirement 2? Which alternative is more cost effective and by how
much? Do NOT round interim calculations and, if required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
