The management of Brinkley Corporation is interested in using simulation to estimate the profit per unit for a new product. The selling price for the product will be $45 per unit. Probability distributions for the purchase cost, the labor cost, and the transportation costare estimated as follows:ProcurementCost($)10$1112Probability0.250.450.30LaborCost ($)20222425Probability0.100.250.350.30TransportationCost ($)35(a) Compute profit per unit for the base-case, worst-case, and best-case scenarios.Base Case using most likely costsProfit = $/unitWorst CaseProfit = $/unitBest CaseProfit = $/unitProbability0.750.25(b) Construct a simulation model to estimate the mean profit per unit. (Use at least 1,000 trials.)(c) Why is the simulation approach to risk analysis preferable to generating a variety of what-if scenarios?Simulation will provide ---Select---of the profit per unit values which can then be used to find ---Select--- ◆ of an unacceptably low profit.(d) Management believes the project may not be sustainable if the profit per unit is less than $5. Use simulation to estimate the probability the profit per unit will be less than $5. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

20 O It costs a pharmaceutical company $35,000 to produce a 1000-pound batch of a drug. The average yield from a batch is unknown but the best case is 90% yield (that is, 900 pounds of good drug will be produced), the most likely case is 85% yield, and the worst case is 70% yield. The annual demand for the drug is unknown, with the best case being 22,000 pounds, the most likely case 18,000 pounds, and the worst case 12.000 pounds. The drug sells for $60 per pound and leftover amounts of the drug can be sold for $8 per pound. To maximize annual expected profit, how many batches of the drug should the company produce? You can assume that it will produce the batches only once, before demand for the drug is known. You should consider a range of batches between 13 and 22.

The Gorman Manufacturing Company must decide whether to manufacture a component part at its Milan, Michigan, plant or purchase the component part from a supplier. The resulting profit is dependent upon the demand for the product. The following payoff table shows the projected profit (in thousands of dollars): state of nature low demand medium demnad high demand Decision alternative s1 s2 s3 manufacture d1 -20 40 100 purchase d2 10 45 70 The state-of-nature probabilities are P(s1) = 0.35, P(s2) = 0.35, and P(s3) = 0.30. a. Use expected value to recommend a decision. b. Use EVPI to determine whether Gorman should attempt to obtain a better estimate of demand.

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Emergency 911 calls to a small municipality in Idaho come in at the rate of one every four minutes. Assume that the number of 911 calls is a random variable that can be described by the Poisson distribution. (a) What is the expected number of 911 calls in 1 hour? 15 (b) What is the probability of three 911 calls in 5 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) x (c) What is the probability of no 911 calls in a 5-minute period? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) x
