1. A grocery store chain must decide whether to build a regular or a large store in Future City. There is also the option of not opening any store at all. The decision depends on the market potential of Future City and this potential might be high, medium, or low. The potential profits in each case are shown in the payoff table below (in P1,000): High Medium Low Regular 17,500 9,500 -3,000 Large 32,000 11,500 -4,500 None 0 0 0 Identify the decision to be made, the decision alternatives, the chance event and the states of nature for this problem. What alternative should be chosen under the maximax criterion? What is the payoff for this decision? Determine the minimax regret decision. Given that the probabilities of high, medium and low market potentials are 0.35, 0.45, and 0.2, respectively, determine the optimal decision using the Bayes’ decision rule (expected value approach). 2.

Assume that you are thinking about starting your own small business. You have made the following estimates regarding this opportunity: • You can rent a location for your business at a cost of $36,000 per year. The equipment costs incurred to start the business would total $250,000. The equipment would have a 5-year useful life and a salvage value of $25,000 Your company's estimated sales per year would equal $350,000 and its variable cost of goods sold would be 30% of sales. • Other operating costs would include $58,000 per year in salaries, $4,000 per year for insurance, $25,000 per year for utilities, and a 3% sales commission The simple rate of return for this investment opportunity is closest to: Multiple Choice 22.0% 19.0% 26.6% 15.7%
Round Tree Manor is a hotel that provides two types of rooms with three rental classes: Super Saver, Deluxe, and Business. The profit per night for each type of room and rental class is as follows: Rental Class Super Saver Deluxe Business Room Type I (Mountain View) $30 $35 - Type II (Street View) $15 $25 $35 Round Tree's management makes a forecast of the demand by rental class for each night in the future. A linear programming model developed to maximize profit is used to determine how many reservations to accept for each rental class. The demand forecast for a particular night is 130 rentals in the Super Saver class, 65 in the Deluxe class, and 45 in the Business class. Since these are the forecasted demands, Round Tree will take no more than these amounts of each reservation for each rental class. Round Tree has a limited number of each type of room. There are 90 Type I rooms and 130 Type II rooms. (a) Formulate and solve a linear program to determine…
Q1.Determine the production plan that will maximise the weekly profit of MJD Ltd and prepare a profit statement showing the profit your plan will yield. Q2.The marketing director of MJD Ltd is concerned about the company’s ability to meet the quantity demanded by its customers. Two alternative strategies are being considered to overcome this: To increase the number of hours worked using the existing machinery by working overtime. Such overtime would be paid at a premium of 50% above normal labour rates, and variable overheads costs would be expected to increase in proportion to labour costs. To buy product B from an overseas supplier at a cost of £19 per unit; which includes the cost of delivery. This purchased product would need to be repackaged at a cost of £1 per unit before it can be sold Evaluate each of the two alternative strategies and write a report to the marketing director discussing which strategy should be adopted.
A manufacturer of automated optical inspection devices is deciding on a project to increase the productivity of the manufacturing processes. The estimated costs for the two feasible alternatives being compared are shown below.

Alternative M N Initial costs $30,000 $45,000 Net annual cash flow $4,500 $7,000 Life in years 8 8 (a) IRR of base alternative = (b) IRR of incremental cash flow = (c) Choose Alternative
Assume that you desire to operate a food truck business. You have five food trucks. Some trucks will need more repairs than others. Based on online research and discussions with other food truck owners, you determine that in a given year the following possibilities are likely. The probability of few repairs is 20% and the estimated cost is $2,500 The probability of moderate repairs is 60% with an estimated cost of $5,000 The probability of extensive repairs is 20% with an estimated cost of $25,000. What is the average expected cash flow out for repairs, based on these probabilities? Type your answer without commas or decimal places or dollar signs.

Net Present Value Method and Present Value Index Diamond & Turf Inc. is considering an investment in one of two machines. The sewing machine will increase productivity from sewing 120 baseballs per hour to sewing 216 per hour. The contribution margin per unit is $0.52 per baseball. Assume that any increased production of baseballs can be sold. The second machine is an automatic packing machine for the golf ball line. The packing machine will reduce packing labor cost. The labor cost saved is equivalent to $26 per hour. The sewing machine will cost $351,400, will have a 10-year life, and will operate for 1,400 hours per year. The packing machine will cost $148,100, will have a 10-year life, and will operate for 1,200 hours per year. Diamond & Turf seeks a minimum rate of return of 12% on its investments.
