A publisher for a promising new novel figures fixed costs (overhead, advances, promotion, copy editing, typesetting, and so on) at
$58,000,
and variable costs (printing, paper, binding, shipping) at
$2.50
for each book produced. If the book is sold to distributors for
$18
each, how many must be produced and sold for the publisher to break even?
3) A company needs to decide whether to introduce a recent developed product (codename DEV)
to the mass market. It is estimated that test marketing will cost $100K. Data indicates that only
30% of this company's product capture consumers' attention.
Only when this product DEV is successful at the test market stage, then the company needs to
consider the size of plant to set up to produce DEV in large quantity. A small factory is expected
to cost around $150K to build, while a large factory costs around $250K. Productivity for small
factory is 2000 units per year, while a large factory produces 4000 units a year. This company
might also give up this project and receives $0 back.
Given our new product in the market, there is a 40% chance that the competitor will respond
with a similar product and that the price per unit sold (in $) will be as follows (assuming all
production sold):
Small plant
Large plant
20
Competition respond
Competition do not respond

- “This isn’t what I need!” objected the admissions officer at Northwest Regional Hospital. Judy sighed, “But this is the software you asked us to create for you.” “I don’t care what I said at the time, this system won’t work for us the way you have it set up. You’ll have to fix it.” “But any fixes are going to set this project back at least four months,” Judy warned. “Why don’t you work with it for a while and get used to the features? I’m sure you’ll find that it works fine.” Judy’s attempt at reassurance just set off an even more negative response from the admissions officer: “Look, we needed the registration screens in a different format. I can’t read this one. And on top of that, it’s missing the insurance check function.” “But you didn’t ask for any of those features last April when we developed the specifications for the system.” “At the time, I didn’t know they were available.

- We were doing a mooring system project for an offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. It was a fixed price contract, but the specifications were sprinkled with a lot of TBDs (to be determined) items. As the project manager, the TBDs required a lot of attention and caused tremendous headaches between the customer’s project manager and myself. I had to watch these TBDs like a hawk. When a TBD specification was finalized by the customer, I had to ensure that the clarified specification was doable and that it did not affect my project’s cost and time constraints.Out of a dozen TBD specifications, one was for the smoothness of a stainless steel surface. I had to negotiate this TBD specification rigorously with the customer’s project manager. I did not want to accept a tight specification that would have required extra fine machining of stainless steel surfaces of our system. We first agreed on the smoothness measurement technique and then the measurement sampling location and measurement…arrow_forwardA company is considering three vendors for purchasing a CRM system: Delphi Inc., CRM International, and Murray Analytics.
