Question

Your Competitive Intelligence team reports that a wave of product liability lawsuits is likely to cause Digby to pull the product Daze entirely off the market this year. Assume Digby scraps all capacity and inventory this round, completely writing off those assets and escrowing the proceeds to a settlement fund, and assume these lawsuits will have no effect on any other products of Digby or other companies. Without Digby's product Daze how much can the industry currently produce in the Core segment? Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year. Ignore current inventories.

Answer 1

Answer:

The total capacity of the market in core products less the Digby's Deft is 10860 thousand units.

Explanation:

In order to completely answer the question, the complete question is found online. This question was missing some table attachments which are attached with it.

From the table, it is first noted that the core products are listed which are as below:

1. Axe
2. Bolt
3. Buzz
4. Deft
5. Dim

Now as mentioned in the question, deft is to be ignored so the remaining options are:

1. Axe
2. Bolt
3. Buzz
4. Dim

Now the capacities of these are included which are found from the table and are as follow:

Axe=2050

Bolt=1040

Buzz=1040

Dim=1300

So the total capacity of 1 shift is

Axe+Bolt+Buzz+Dim=2050+1040+1040+1300=5430 units

As there are two shifts running so the total capacity is 5430x2=10860

So the total capacity of market in core products less the Digby's Deft is 10860 thousand units.
