Answer:

The answer is: E) Idea screening

Explanation:

Idea screening is the second stage (comes after idea generation) of the new product development process. Its main purpose is to select "good ideas" and filter out "bad ideas".

The following questions usually help in defining what ideas can classify as good or bad.  

  1. Do we really need to introduce a new product?
  2. Can our existing facilities produce the new product, or what is needed for them to be able to?
  3. Can we sell the new product with our existing marketing network, or what do they need to be able to do so?
  4. When will the new product generate profit?

Many times the concept of good or bad idea depends on the organization itself. If the answers to the questions above are positive and the company is able to go along with the project, then the new product should continue to stage 3 (concept testing).

Ball Bearings, Inc., faces costs of production as follows:
Travka [436]

Answer:

Q        Fixed       Variable    Total    Marginal    Aver.     Aver.     Aver.

<u>           Costs        Costs         Cost    Cost           FC         VC         TC      </u>

0          100             0              100         -               -             -             -

1           100           50               150       150           100         50         150

2          100           70               170         20            50         35          85

3          100           90               190        20           33.33      30        63.33

4          100          140               240       50            25          35          60

5          100         200               300       60            20          40          60

6          100         360              460      160           16.67       60        76.67

The firm's profit in this case is <u>-$360</u>.

True or False: This was a wise decision. ⇒ <u>False</u>

Depends on the situation and which costs are avoidable if the company shuts down operations. If it produces 4 cases, the losses reduce from -$100 to -$40, but the contribution margin is positive since revenues exceed variable costs by $60. But under the current price level, the company will not be able to generate profits unless it increases its sales price or decreases its fixed costs.

Vaguely remembering his introductory economics course, the company's chief financial officer tells the CEO it is better to produce 1 case of ball bearings, because marginal revenue equals marginal cost at that quantity.

At this level of production, the firm's profit is <u>-$100</u>.

True or False: This is the best decision the firm can make. ⇒ <u>False</u>

Accounting profit is maximized at 4 cases since marginal cost ($50) = sales price ($50). At this point the total profit is -$40.
