They should still bin, so that each individual resistor gets the highest price possible by the virtue of its classification, even if the binning is costly.

- mgsouth 2y agoNot if the additional cost is more than the additional revenue. Let's assume that without binning you get 20% over cost of manufacturing. If it costs 5% more to bin-check all resistors, and you wind up selling 1% of them for an additional 100% mark-up: No bin Bin Cost to mfg: $ 1.00 $ 1.00 Cost to bin: .05 ------ ------ Total cost $ 1.00 $ 1.05 Base price $ 1.20 $ 1.188 (99% sold at base) Premium price 0.00 $ 0.022 (1% sold at un-binned cost x 2.2) ------ ------ Total revenue $ 1.20 $ 1.21 ====== ====== Profit $ 0.20 $ 0.16
