In the design of an automobile radiator an engineer has a choice of using either a brass-copper alloy casting or a plastic molding. Either material provides the same service. However, the brass-copper alloy casting weighs 25 pounds, compared with 20 pounds for the plastic molding.Every pound of extra weight in the automobile has been assigned a penalty of $6 to account for increased fuel consumption during the life cycle of the car. The brass-copper alloy casting costs $3.35 per pound, whereas the plastic molding costs $7.40 per pound. Machining costs per casting are $6.00 for the brass-copper alloy. Which material should the engineer select, and what is the difference in unit costs? Show work.
