The product design group of Iyengar Electric Supplies, Inc., has determined that it needs to design a new series of switches. It must decide on one of three design strategies. The market forecast is for 150 comma 000 units. The better and more sophisticated the design strategy and the more time spent on value engineering, the less will be the variable cost. The chief of engineering design, Dr. W. L. Berry, has decided that the following costs are a good estimate of the initial and variable costs connected with each of the three strategies explained below. Low-tech: a low-technology, low-cost process consisting of hiring several new junior engineers. This option has a fixed cost of $45 comma 000 and variable-cost probabilities of 0.3 for $0.57, 0.4 for $0.51, and 0.3 for $0.42. Subcontract: a medium-cost approach using a good outside design staff. This approach would have a fixed cost of $65 comma 000 and variable-cost probabilities of 0.6 of $0.52, 0.2 of $0.47, and 0.2 of $0.43. High-tech: a high-technology approach using the very best of the inside staff and the latest computer-aided design technology. This approach has a fixed cost of $85 comma 000 and variable-cost probabilities of 0.7 of $0.44 and 0.3 of $0.32. What is the best decision based on an expected monetary value (EMV) criterion? (Note: We want the lowest EMV, as we are dealing with costs in this problem.)

Steele bicycle manufacturing company currently produces the handlebars used in manufacturing its bicycles, which are high-quality racing bikes with limited sales. steele produces and sells only 10,000 bikes each year. due to the low volume of activity, steele is unable to obtain the economies of scale that larger producers achieve. for example, steele could buy the handlebars for $31 each: they cost $34 each to make. the following is a detailed breakdown of current production costs: after seeing these figures, steele's president remarked that it would be foolish for the company to continue to produce the handlebars at $34 each when it can buy them for $31 each. calculate the total relevant cost. do you agree with the president's conclusion?
