Answer to Question 1

1. Pricing decisions at Bradley Associates are heavily influenced by reported cost numbers. Suppose Bradley is bidding against another firm for a client with a job similar to that of Campa Coal. If the costing system overstates the costs of these jobs, Bradley may bid too high and fail to land the client. If the costing system understates the costs of these jobs, Bradley may bid low, land the client, and then lose money in handling the case.
