The territory that NDS currently serves is Ontario and Eastern Canada. It offers service in English and French.
Q1) NDS has preliminary design concepts for two (2) servers that are being considered for development. The Red Server and the Blue Server. Your job is to determine which server design is better environmentally.
Using the following equation, we can compare the two design alternatives:
Revenue Retrieval = Total Resale Revenue + Total Recycling Revenue Total Processing Cost Total Disposal Cost
Specifically, you are to use the following data to help NDS determine:
RED SERVER
Part Resale Revenue per Unit Recycling Revenue per Unit Processing Cost per Unit Disposal Cost per Unit
Motherboard $3.63 $1.27 $1.51 $1.67
Processor $2.31 $4.94 $2.51 $3.57
Hard Disk Drive $1.10 $1.02 $1.77 $0.83
Power Supply $1.34 $1.35 $1.18 $1.40
BLUE SERVER
Part Resale Revenue per Unit Recycling Revenue per Unit Processing Cost per Unit Disposal Cost per Unit
Motherboard $4.86 $1.28 $1.63 $1.37
Processor $0.60 $2.47 $2.94 $4.28
Hard Disk Drive $1.13 $3.04 $1.71 $1.04
Power Supply $1.12 $1.99 $0.90 $1.82
