A certain custom engraving shop has traditionally had orders for between 1 and 50 units of whatever a customer orders. A large company has contacted this shop about engraving “reward” plaques (which are essentially identical to each other). It wants the shop to place a bid for this order. The volume is expected to be 12,000 units per year and will most likely last four years. To successfully bid (low enough price) for such an order, what will the shop likely have to do?

He contacts Fixing and Building Machines Ltd who recommends a machine which they claim is more than 10 times quicker and stronger than his old machine. Justin goes into Fixing and Building Machines Ltd. Before paying for the machine, he sees a sign on the wall behind the counter that has the words “Important Information: READ BEFORE PURCHASE! Fixing and Building Machines Ltd accepts no liability.....” in bold, red print at the top. However, the sign is falling down from the wall and the rest of the words are obscured by a large plant.

Meg Jones, the CEO of Ajax Computer Company, and Brad Smith, its Director of Operations, had been discussing how to increase the firm’s production of the company’s flagship XR58. The XR58 was particularly important because it sold 12,500 of them in the most recent year for $950, at a gross margin of 55%. After a lot of discussion, they decided to pursue an incentive system designed to increase production by 12% in the next year. After Brad discussed this possible incentive with the production team, the team determined that it could increase production by this amount without adding any more people or equipment. They believed they could accomplish this improvement primarily through process redesign. To incent them to do the hard work of process improvement, Brad told the team that it would receive 25% of the increased profits if it met the new production goal.

I have found a somewhat newer vehicle (roughly the same functionality) that averages 26 mpg. I can sell my current car for BDT1,400,000 and purchase the newer vehicle for BDT2,000,000. Assume a cost of gasoline BDT400 per gallon. How many miles per year must I drive if I want to recover my investment in three years? Assume an interest rate of 10%, 50% of current price as salvage value for either vehicle after five years, and identical maintenance cost. Considering that I drive about 10,000 miles per year.
