Answer 1

Below is the calculation for revenue retrieval per unit -

Brew Master
Part	Resale Revenue per unit (A)	Recycling Revenue per unit (B)	Processing Cost per unit (C)	Disposal Cost per unit (D)	Revenue Retrieval per Unit (A+B-C-D)
Metal Frame	1.6	2.86	1.27	0.73	2.46
Timer	0.55	0.2	1.5	1.46	-2.21
Plug / Cord	4.27	5.67	6.2	0.25	3.49
Coffee pot	2.55	2.46	2.15	1.38	1.48
Total	8.97	11.19	11.12	3.82	5.22
Brew Mini
Part	Resale Revenue per unit (A)	Recycling Revenue per unit (B)	Processing Cost per unit (C)	Disposal Cost per unit (D)	Revenue Retrieval per Unit (A+B-C-D)
Plastic Frame	1.4	3.29	0.9	0.85	2.94
Plug / Cord	3.98	4.4	5.21	0	3.17
Coffee pot	2.27	2.82	2.25	1.28	1.56
Total	7.65	10.51	8.36	2.13	7.67

Revenue retrieval per unit for Brew Master = 5.33

Revenue retrieval per unit for Brew Master = 7.67

Best design alternative = Brew Mini
