Consider two possible designs for a product which are sold for $0.70 each. There are only two differences in the production of both designs: operation 1 and operation 2. The first product, A, requires 16 hours of operation 1 and 4.5 hours of operation 2 for 1,000 units. The second product, B, requires 7 hours of operation 1 and 12 hours of operation 2 for 1,000 units. The variable operating costs of operation 1 (labor, materials, and maintenance) is $18.60 per hour. The variable operating cost of operation 2 (labor, materials, and maintenance) is $16.90 per hour. There is a sunk cost of $5,000 for product A and $9,000 for product B. Hint: Be careful in your consideration of sunk costs in making your decisions.
