  • Deere & Company Case Summary

    451 Words  | 1 Pages

    Deere & Company (Deere) has been experiencing a decrease in its profit margins for one of its aftermarket resale products, specifically the gatherer chain, over the past couple of years. Currently, the cost-price ratio is at 80% compared to last year’s 50%. The purchase cost for the gatherer chain has been steadily increasing, while the aftermarket price has been decreasing. Deere has been budgeting its price to match that of a major competitor, which has been causing the decrease. The company’s main supplier of its gatherer chain is Saunders Manufacturing, with which Deere has established a long term relationship. The owner of Saunders has a reputation of being a tough negotiator, and is someone who is known for not willing to share financial information about the company. However, the U.S. Department of Commerce has provided financial estimates in Saunders’ industry as follows: material spend, 42%; direct labor, 16%; indirect labor, 6%; Overhead, 20%. These percentages are helpful to Deere because they can be used in the negotiation process with Sanders. Since Sanders will not share any specific cost information, Deere is able to use these estimates as a way to justify Sanders reducing its prices. Using these estimates during the negotiations might also incentivize Sanders to provide accurate numbers for its specific manufacturing costs.

    This trend began to ebb with MacPherson v. Buick Motor Co., and the ruling by an appellate court that favored MacPherson, the plaintiff. This case, however, was more a result of political expediency than a reasoned verdict based on fact. In this case, the plaintiff argued that his 1911 Baby Buick had a defective wheel that collapsed while traveling at a low rate of speed, hitting a telephone pole, and pinning him under, breaking his wrist and cracking several ribs; however, the facts of the trial revealed that the accident as it was recounted by the plaintiff was a physical impossibility, but due to the increasing pressures to dispense with privity rulings, the court imposed on the defendant the responsibility of inspecting and discarding defective wheels, implying causal negligence even though the plaintiff had driven the vehicle for more than a year in less than perfect road conditions without a mishap.

  • Kurns V. Railroad Friction Products Case Summary

    940 Words  | 2 Pages

    Though there was evidence that supported the plaintiff’s case, the case pre-empted by the Locomotive Inspection Act and by the federal railroad safety laws. This protected the Railroad Friction Product Corp for any liabilities because there was nothing on paper after inspections that there was a possibility of exposure to asbestos. The Decision was 6 votes for Railroad Friction Products Corp and 3 vote(s) against. The Legal provision that stood behind the decision resided on the Locomotive Inspection Act. Justice Clarence Thomas provided the opinion of the Court supporting the lower court's decision, but the Courts believed that the Locomotive Inspection Act prevented the state law design faulty claims and the state law failure to warn claims. The Court highlighted that state law must yield to a Congressional Act, to the level of any conflict with federal statute, even if there is no express preemption. The Court also determined that the Federal Railroad Safety Act did not change the probability of the Locomotive Inspection Act. However, she did not think that the Locomotive Inspection Act preempted the claims for failure to warn because those claims were not based on any product's physical compensation, but on a failure to provide adequate instructions or warning and that the entire locomotive inspection act
