Enviro-Chem Company processes a number of chemical compounds used in producing reagents for the environmental testing industry. One compound is decomposed into two chemicals: guarine and petroline. The cost of processing one batch of compound is $82,000, and the result is 4,000 gallons of guarine and 8,000 gallons of petroline. Enviro-Chem Company can sell the guarine at split-off for $15 per gallon and the petroline for $9 per gallon. Alternatively, the guarine can be processed further at a cost of $5 per gallon (of guarine) into rhydrolite. It takes 4 gallons of guarine for every gallon of rhydrolite.

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
