Suppose Good-to-Go (Problem 422) is considering the possible introduction of two new products to its line of suitcases: the Compact model (for teenagers) and the Kiddo model (for children). Market research suggests that Good-to-Go can sell the Compact model for no more than $30, whereas the Kiddo model would go for as much as $37.50 to specialty toy stores. The amount of labor and the cost of raw materials for each possible new product are as follows: Cost Category Compact Kiddo Cutting and coloring (hr.)0.501.20 Assembly (hr.)0.750.75 Finishing (hr.)0.750.50 Quality and packaging (hr.)0.200.20 Raw materials $5.00 $4.50 Use a pricing-out strategy to check if either model would be economically attractive to make.
