1. Does Colorscope make cost-quality tradeoffs with regard to some of its customers? Please explain.
2. How should Colorscope change its incentive system?
3. Even though the Colorscope case dealt primarily with the implications of a two stage cost system, did Colorscope have unused capacity costs? If so, what caused them to have unused capacity, and should these costs be allocated to jobs/customer orders? Why or why not?
