(L.OBJ. 1) Describing and identifying information relevant to business decisions [5—10 min]

Joe Roberts, production manager for Fabricut, invested in computer-controlled production machinery last year. He purchased the machinery from Advanced Design at a cost of $2 million. A representative from Advanced Design has recently contacted Joe because the company has designed an even more efficient piece of machinery. The new design would double the production output of the year-old machinery but cost Fabricut another $3 million. Roberts is afraid to bring this new equipment to the company president’s attention because he convinced the president to invest $2 million in the machinery last year.
