SY Telc has recently started the manufacture of RecRobo, a three-wheeled robot that scans a home for fires and gas leaks and then transmits the information to a mobile phone. The cost structure to manufacture 20,000 RecRobo's is as follows. (see attachment)
SY Telc is approached by Chen Inc, which offers to manufacture RecRobo for $90 per unit or $1,800,000.
