Reference no: EM131297696
Mr. Hess of California Windows, Inc. is considering making a change in the material the firm uses for panes in its residential window line. The new material has a slight mirror attribute that assists in reflecting ultra-violet light and restricts the transmission of heat.
The new material will raise the cost of a standard window by $3.76.
This product is in the mature stage of the life cycle and with no modifications, Hess has estimated that sales of the window line will be 240,000 units per year for the next 5 years with a probability of 0.3, and has a 0.70 probability of selling 180,000 units per year over the four years.
The standard price of a window unit is $45. With the new glass material, the price per unit can be increased to $50.
However, Hess estimates that the demand for the newly designed window will be 210,000 units with a probability of 0.6, and that there will be a 0.4 probability of sales of 150,000 units.
