Flextire Manufacturing is considering two mutually exclusive proposals. Each will cost $80,000 and will last 6 years. Cash flows and estimated probabilities are presented below. Based on an MARR of 10%, use decision tree analysis to determine which proposal Flextire should consider. Proposal A Proposal B Benefits per year Benefits per year Probability $18,000 $17,500 Conservative= 0.40 20,000 20,500 Most likely= 0.35 23,000 23,000 Optimistic= 0.25 Write a brief interpretation of your answer.

A decision maker faces an uncertain venture where he/she may earn $10.000 (with a probability p) or nothing. Following mutually exclusive options to this uncertain venture are listed below. The decision maker's statements are given following each option: • A certain venture that will bring $3.000 at the end of one year. "I will invest my money to this certain venture unless there's a 50% chance of winning the $10.000" • A certain venture that will bring $5.000 at the end of one year. "I will invest my money to this certain venture unless there's a 75% chance of winning the $10.000" • A certain venture that will bring $7.000 at the end of one year. "1 will invest my money to this certain venture unless there's a 88% chance of winning the $10.000" • A certain venture that will bring $9.000 at the end of one year. "1 will invest my money to this certain venture unless there's a 97% chance of winning the $10.000" On the other hand if the utility values for $10.000 and $0 are 1 and 0.1…

Suppose an Investor, Erik, is offered the Investment opportunities described in the table below. Each Investment costs $1,000 today and provides a payoff, also described below, one year from now. Option Payoff One Year from Now 1 100% chance of receiving $1,100 2 50% chance of receiving $1,000 50% chance of receiving $1,200 3 50% chance of receiving $200 50% chance of receiving $2,000 If Erik is a risk neutral investor, which investment will he prefer? O Erik will be indifferent toward these options. Erik will choose option 1. Erik will choose option 2. Erik will choose option 3. In contrast, Erik's brother, Devin, is risk averse. Which of the following statements is true about Devin? Everything else remaining constant, Devin will prefer option 1. Everything else remaining constant, Devin will prefer option 2. ○ Everything else remaining constant, Devin will prefer option 3. O None of these options is preferred.
Consider these mutually exclusive alternatives. MARR = 8% per year, so all the alternatives are acceptable. Solve, a. At the end of their useful lives, alternatives A and C will be replaced with identical replacements (the repeatability assumption) so that a 20-year service requirement (study period) is met. Which alternative should be chosen and why? b. Now suppose that at the end of their useful lives, alternatives A and C will be replaced with replacement alternatives having an 8% internal rate of return. Which alternative should be chosen and why?
