Samsung Electronics is trying to reduce supply chain risk by making more responsible make/buy decisions through improved cost estimation. A high-use component (expected usage is 5000 units per year) can be purchased for $25 per unit with delivery promised within a week. Alternatively, Samsung can make the component inhouse and have it readily available at a cost of $5 per unit, if equipment costing $150,000 is purchased. Labor and other operating costs are estimated to be $35,000 per year over the study period of 5 years. Salvage is estimated at 10% of first cost and MARR is 12% per year. Neglect the element of availability (a) to determine the breakeven quantity, and (b) to recommend making or buying at the expected usage level.

Demand for each depends partly on the price of the other. If one is expensive, then more people will buy the other. If p1 is the price of the Ultra Mini, and p2 is the price of the Big Stack, demand (quantity sold) for the Ultra Mini is given by q1 = 100,000 − 100p1 + 10p2 where q1 represents the number of Ultra Minis that will be sold in a year. The demand (quantity sold) for the Big Stack is given by q2 = 150,000 + 10p1 − 100p2. Find the prices for the Ultra Mini and the Big Stack that will maximize your total revenue.
