Costs of quality, ethical considerations. Refer to information in Exercise 19-17 in answering this question. Dream Rider
Question:
1. Assuming that Dream Rider expects to sell 250,000 car seats next year, what would be the cost of increasing the quality of all 250,000 car seats?
2. What will be the total cost of the lawsuits next year if the problem is not corrected?
3. Suppose Dream Rider has decided not to increase the quality of the plastic because the cost of increasing the quality exceeds the benefits (saving the cost of lawsuits). What do you think of this decision? (Note: Because of the confidentiality clause, the decision will have no effect on Dream Rider’s reputation.)
4. Are there any other costs or benefits that Dream Rider should consider?
