Crane Company has decided to introduce a new product. The new product can be manufactured by either a capital-intensive method or a labor-intensive method. The manufacturing method will not affect the quality of the product. The estimated manufacturing costs by the two methods are as follows. Direct materials Direct labor Variable overhead Fixed manufacturing costs (a) Capital-Intensive $6.00 per unit $7.00 per unit $4.00 per unit $3,200,000 Crane' market research department has recommended an introductory unit sales price of $40.00. The selling expenses are estimated to be $622,000 annually plus $2.00 for each unit sold, regardless of manufacturing method. 1. Capital-intensive manufacturing method. 2. Labor-intensive manufacturing method. Break-even point in units Labor-Intensive $7.00 per unit $10.00 per unit $5.50 per unit Calculate the estimated break-even point in annual unit sales of the new product if Crane Company uses the: $2,028,500 Capital-Intensive Labor-Intensive

Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data warehouse: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data warehouse? What is the expected annual cost associated with that recommendation? Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a). What is the probability of the cost exceeding $700,000?
