- Muñoz Corporation's decision to produce a new line of recreational products resulted in the need to construct either a small plant or a large plant. The best selection of plant size depends on how the marketplace reacts to the new product line. To conduct an analysis, marketing management has decided to view the possible long-run demand as low, medium, or high. The following payoff table shows the projected profit in millions of dollars. Long-Run Demand Plant Size Low Medium High Small 250 300 300 Large 150 300 600 (a) What is the decision to be made, and what is the chance event for Muñoz problem? The decision is to choose the best plant size . There are 2 alternatives. The chance event is the market demand for the new product line There are 3 possible outcomes.

Given the increase in annual requirement, the production manager is contemplating to start manufacturing the special components in-house to save costs rather than sourcing them from outside. Given the current purchase price of $9000 per unit, what will the average annual requirement need to be in order to justify making the components in-house if the variable cost of making is $6750 per unit and an upfront fixed cost of $55,000,000 is needed to procure the necessary plant and equipment? However, in the event that the expected increase in demand does not materialize and the demand is actually forecast to drop to 20,000 units next year, then what will be the maximum price per unit that DBS would be willing to pay to the supplier in order to continue buying from them? Going forward, if it is found to be a better decision to make the components in-house, DBS will then need to…Stapleton Manufacturing intends to increase capacity through the addition of new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed cost for proposal A is $55,000, and for proposal B, $33,000. The variable cost for A is $9, and for B, $14. The revenue generated by each unit is $18. a) What is the crossover point for the two options? The crossover point for the two options is units. (Round your response to the nearest whole number.) b) At an expected volume of 6,200 units, which alternative should be chosen? The profit (loss) if proposal A is accepted and 6,200 units are produced is $ (Round your response to the nearest dollar and include a minus sign if necessary.) The profit (loss) if proposal B is accepted and 6,200 units are produced is $ (Round your response to the nearest dollar and include a minus sign if necessary.) should be chosen at an expected volume of 6,200 units.
- The production head at the All Paints and Surface Corp. would frequently stay back after office hours and experiment with new color combinations even though this was part of the new product development team’s job. As a result of these experiments, he came up with two new interior paint colors, foggy morning and mint julep. The new colors proved popular among test groups, and quickly became some of Omnitone’s best-selling products. Which of the following strategies does this scenario best illustrate?

- Mary Williams, owner of Williams Products, is evaluating whether to introduce a new product line. After thinking through the production process and the costs of raw materials and new equipment, Williams estimates the variable costs of each unit produced and sold at $8 and the fixed costs per year at $70,000. What other considerations would be crucial to the final decision about making and marketing the new product?The product design group of ABC Supplies has determined that it needs to design a new series of electric switches. It must decide on one of three design strategies. The better and more sophisticated the design strategy and the more time spent on value engineering, the less will be the variable cost. The chief of engineering design, William Berry, has decided that the following costs are a good estimate of the initial and variable costs connected with each of three strategies: • Low-tech: a low technology, low cost process consisting of hiring several new junior engineers. This option has a fixed cost of $45,000 and variable cost of $0.52 each. • Subcontract: a medium-cost approach using a good outside design staff. This approach would have a fixed cost of $65,000 and variable cost of $0.45. • High-tech: a high technology approach using the very best of the inside staff and the latest computer-aided design (CAD) technology. This approach has a fixed cost of $85,000 and variable cost of…Ritz Products’s materials manager, Tej Dhakar, mustdetermine whether to make or buy a new semiconductor for thewrist TV that the firm is about to produce. One million unitsare expected to be produced over the life cycle. If the product ismade, start-up and production costs of the make decision total $1 million, with a probability of .4 that the product will be sat-isfactory and a .6 probability that it will not. If the product is not satisfactory, the firm will have to reevaluate the decision. Ifthe decision is reevaluated, the choice will be whether to spendanother $1 million to redesign the semiconductor or to purchase.Likelihood of success the second time that the make decision ismade is .9. If the second make decision also fails, the firm mustpurchase. Regardless of when the purchase takes place, Dhakar’sbest judgment of cost is that Ritz will pay $.50 for each purchasedsemiconductor plus $1 million in vendor development cost.a) Assuming that Ritz must have the semiconductor…
