Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has increased by 55% in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only thing to be changed. (Productivity remains the same.) (Hint: Each worker works 160 hours per month.) If the bakery currently makes 1,800 loaves per month with a labor productivity of 2.344 loaves per labor hour, then Lackey will need to add worker(s) to meet the increased demand (recall that each worker works 160 hours per month and round your response up to the next whole number).

Please do not give solution in image format thanku A logistics provider plans to have a new warehouse built to handle increasing demands for its services. Although the company is unsure of how much demand there will be, it must decide now on the size (large or small) of the warehouse. Preliminary estimates are that if a small warehouse is built and demand is low, the monthly income will be $400. If demand is high, it will have to either expand the facility or lease additional space. Leasing will result in a monthly income of $300 while expanding will result in a monthly income of $700. If a large warehouse is built and demand is low, monthly income will only be $300, while if demand is high, monthly income will be $1000. Assume that the probability that the demand is high is 50% and the probability that the demand is low is 50%. Find EVPI (expected value of the perfect information). a. 50 b. 100 c. 150 d. 200 e. 300
