Problem 1. During your first month as an employee at Greenfield Industries (a large drill-bitmanufacturer), you are asked to evaluate alternatives for producing a newly designed drill bit on aturning machine. Your boss’ memorandum to you has practically no information about what thealternatives are and what criteria should be used. The same task was posed to a previous employeewho could not finish the analysis, but she has given you the following information: An old turningmachine valued at $350,000 exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified for the new drill bit.The in-house technicians have given an estimate of $40,000 to modify this machine, and they assureyou that they will have the machine ready before the projected start date (although they havenever done any modifications of this type). It is hoped that the old turning machine will be able tomeet production requirements at full capacity. An outside company, McDonald Inc., made themachine seven years ago and can easily do the…
