During their senior year at Clarkson College, two business students, Gerry Keating and Louis Lamont, began a part-time business making personal computers. They bought the various components from a local supplier and assembled the machines in the basement of a friend's house. Their only cost was $370 for parts; they sold each computer for $634. They were able to make three machines per week and to sell them to fellow students. The activity was appropriately called Keating \& Lamont Computers (KLC). The product quality was good, and as graduation approached, orders were coming in much faster than KLC could fill them. A national CPA firm made Ms. Lamont an attractive offer of employment, and a large electronics company was ready to hire Mr. Keating. Students and faculty at Clarkson College, however, encouraged the two to make KLC a full-time venture. The college administration had decided to require all students in the schools of business and engineering to buy their own computers beginning in the coming fall term. It was believed that the quality and price of the KLC machines would attract the college bookstore to sign a contract to buy a minimum of 1,000 units the first year for $503 each. The bookstore sales were likely to reach 2,000 units per year, but the manager would not make an initial commitment beyond 1,000. The prospect of $503,000 in annual sales for KLC caused the two young entrepreneurs to wonder about the wisdom of accepting their job offers. Before making a decision, they decided to investigate the implications of making KLC a full-time operation. Their study provided the following information relating to the production of their computers.
