A firm is comparing two designs for a new product.Data concerning the design for disassembly for both designs are provided in the tables below.Which design appears to be the best environmental design based on revenue retrieval opportunity?
Design 1:
   Design 2:

Accepted Answer

Design 1:
resale revenue per unit = $9.50,and recycling revenue per unit = $16.89,processing cost per unit = $7.44,disposal cost per unit = $10.19
Revenue retrieval for Firm 1 = $9.50 + $16.89 - $7.44 - $10.19 = $8.76
Design 2:
resale revenue per unit = $13.28,and recycling revenue per unit = $17.94,processing cost per unit = $10.89,disposal cost per unit = $10.62
Revenue retrieval for Firm 1 = $13.28 + $17.94 - $10.89 - $10.62 = $9.71
Therefore,with the higher revenue retrieval opportunity,Design 2 appears best.
