COMP XM- CAPSTONE- STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT

Your Competitive Intelligence team reports that a wave of product liability lawsuits is likely to cause Baldwin to pull the product Buddy entirely off the market this year. Assume Baldwin 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 Baldwin or other companies. Without Baldwin's product Buddy how much can the industry currently produce in the Core segment? Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year. Ignore current inventories. Figures in thousands (000).
