The USA has the opportunity to switch from using the dye it currently uses to using an environmentally friendly dye that costs $1.25 per ounce. The company would still need 4 ounces of dye per shirt.

a. Given the preceding information, would the USA be better off financially by switching to the environmentally friendly dye? (Assume all other costs would remain the same.)
b. Assume the USA chooses to be environmentally responsible regardless of cost, and it switches to the new dye. The production manager suggests trying Kaizen costing. If the USA can reduce fabric and labor costs each by 1% per month on all the shirts it manufactures, by how much will overall costs decrease at the end of 12 months? (Round to the nearest dollar for calculating cost reductions.)
c. Refer to requirement 2. How could the reduction in material and labor costs be accomplished? Are there any problems with this plan?.
