Answer to Problem 1CQ

The value of the product is the extent to which the product meets the performance criteria.

Explanation of Solution

The value of a product is the measure of determining the extent up to which the product adheres to its performance standards. The value of a product has a direct impact on the sale and the price of the product. For a product to have a good value, it should have low operational and maintenance costs, good resale value and so on. A product with good value is preferred by the consumer and the company can even quote a higher price for it which allows the company to make more profit.

Thus, the value of the product is the extent to which the product meets the performance criteria.
