a) An engineer must decide how many machines of a certain type to purchase. Each machine can process 200 customers per day. One machine will result in a fixed cost of RM2,500 per day, while two machines will results in a fixed cost of RM4,300 per day. Variable costs will be RM15 per customers, and revenue will be RM55 per customer. Determine the break-even point for each range. If estimated demand is 60 - 110 customers per day, how many machines should be purchased? b) Given this payoff as shown in Table Q2: Alternatives A B C Table Q2 State of nature (Payoff in RM thousand) #1 120 60 10 #2 30 40 110 Determine the range of P(1) for which each alternative would be best, treating the payoffs as profits and costs.

Question

q(i)

a) An engineer must decide how many machines of a certain type to purchase. Each
machine can process 200 customers per day. One machine will result in a fixed cost of
RM2,500 per day, while two machines will results in a fixed cost of RM4,300 per day.
Variable costs will be RM15 per customers, and revenue will be RM55 per customer.
Determine the break-even point for each range. If estimated demand is 60 – 110
customers per day, how many machines should be purchased?
b) Given this payoff as shown in Table Q2:
Table Q2
State of nature (Payoff
in RM thousand)

Determine the range of P(1) for which each alternative would be best, treating the payoffs
as profits and costs.
