Walton, Inc. is unsure whether to sell its product assembled or unassembled. The unit cost of the unassembled product is $32, while the cost of assembling each unit is estimated at $34. Unassembled units can be sold for $110, while assembled units could be sold for $142 per unit. What decision should Walton make?
Spartan Castings must implement a manufacturing process that reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the atmosphere. Two processes have been identified that provide the same level of particulate reduction. The first process is expected to incur $350,000 of fixed cost and add $50 of variable cost to each casting Spartan produces. The second process has fixed costs of $150,000 and adds $90 of variable cost per casting.a. What is the break-even quantity beyond which the first process is more attractive?b. What is the difference in total cost if the quantity produced is 10,000?
Lazer Technologies Inc. (LTI) has produced a total of 20 high-power laser systems that could be used to destroy any approaching enemy missiles or aircraft. The 20 units have been produced, funded in part as private research within the research and development arm of LTI, but the bulk of the funding came from a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
Testing of the laser units has shown that they are effective defense weapons, and if redesigned to add portability and easier field maintenance, the units could be truck-mounted.
The DoD has asked LTI to submit a bid for 100 more units.
The 20 units that LTI has built so far cost the following amounts and are listed in the order in which they were produced: Use Exhibit 6.4 and Exhibit 6.5.

- Good morning Bartleby. I have a research assignment that I am busy with regarding Reliability and maintainability of an ASSET. I decided to create a tangible asset for the community, A Solar Power charging Station. A solar power charging station for the neighborhood grid makes up the assets we I have selected to work on. Solar panels, batteries, distribution lines, and a control system make up the charging station. To reduce potential failures, i have concentrated on making sure the charging station's design achieves reliability and maintainability. So I need Bartleby to assist me with the following aspects for my ASSET: I need to... a)Explain how reliability and maintainability can be achieved in the design of the asset.b) Illustrate the possible failures that could occur due to human error.
