2. Thomas and Richard had a factory tour. Thomas was very impressed by the speed of the assembly line of the factory. Richard said that the high-speed assembly line was designed and made by their engineers and technicians. Then Thomas wondered how much the factory spent on new product development every year and how soon the order would be delivered. Richard told him that 8% to 10% of the gross sales was spent on new product development. He also said that delivery of new products depended on the size of the order and the items. Finally, Thomas asked Richard to give him some brochures on the products because he wanted his manager to know about them. Richard also said that Thomas’s manager would be welcome to visit the factory.

2. If I were a farmer, the price would concern me most. The reason being that, first, form products do not generally sell at a high price so we have to keep production costs down. Secondly, taxes are fairly high at present and we have less support from the government, so our incomes are decreasing. That’s why I think the price is my greatest concern. On the other hand, if we can improve quality by buying better seeds and improving our handing methods, we can sell at a premium. That could increase our income.

2. A: We are very interested in your X358 MP4 and are thinking of making a trial
order of 10000 pieces. What price can you offer us?
B: As this is our first business, we can provide you with some preferential terms. How about $40 per piece?
A: Oh, I’m afraid that’s way beyond our expectations. It’s even higher than what the other factories give us.
B: Yes, we know there are lower price around but would you please look at the quality? Ours are much better than our competitors’. In addition, the demand for this item from our company is very high. We’re actually temporarily out of stock right now. Currently, demand is way ahead of supply in the market. A: We know about that. But don’t you think you should make some concessions to make your price competitive? Can we make it $35 if we place large orders? B: Well, that’s a tough deal.
