EMI is a large manufacturer of high tech wireless mobile devices recently the government of bringe area were EMI principal factory and all of EMIX consumers are located has brought in new environmental legislation that regulates the disposal of the toxic material that go into the manufacture of electronic device this regulation makes manufactures responsible for the recycling of any electronic that contain toxic material even after consumer have purchased the devices this new policy will be costly for EMI. EMI will have to charge distributors and thus consumers a large refundable deposit in order to get device back as well EMI will now be responsible for the costs of recycling the devices sales will fall and costs will rise EMI has no choice but to comply. Lara's job is to recommend to the board of directors of EMI how to lower the costs of recycling the board will collectively make the final decision on what to do. Lars knows that in his recommendation he should consider not only the internal costs to EMI but also the external costs to society of the considerable pollution. Emission from recycling process will cause health problems for the whole country because the emissions will not break down but instead will accumulate in the national environment their clean up will become a big problem in the future. Lars sees only two ways to proceed. EMI could locate its recycling facility at its principal factory in burned area to take advantage of the transport efficiency of employing backhauls of recycled devices from distributors. Secondly Emi could ship the returned devices to Kenyan a country in the west coast of Africa where labor is much cheaper and contract with local recycling companies to dispose of the devices bringe area has strong environment laws an illegal system that makes polluters pay for the damages that they caused its citizens are in high and any days that they take off work because of environment sickness lose them a lot of money. Health care and bringe area is very good but also expensive capital markets in bruton area are very efficient and interest rates there low.
