- Better Battery Co. is a manufacturer of batteries. Nickel is an essential component of a battery. In recent years, price of nickel has escalated, causing nickel cathodes prices to rise. To mitigate ever-rising nickel (and cathode) costs, the Cross-Functional Team (CFT) at Better Battery has developed a new battery type which requires a lower nickel content in the cathode. The development and investment costs needed to produce this new battery is estimated at $3,500,000. Total costs of each battery is calculated at $50 based on current nickel prices. The CFT expects each battery to sell for $120 per piece, based on available market research. You have been tasked to show the commercial feasibility of this new battery to the management.
