2. Airtight Manufacturing produces plastic cases that utility companies buy to protect electronic components on utility poles from weather damage. (a) The protective case currently used by utility companies has a 0.045 probability of cracking or breaking in any given year. When a protective case cracks or breaks, the utility company incurs a $800 expense to replace the case. What is the expected value of the utility company’s repair costs per protective case? Show your work. (b) Airtight has recently developed a stronger material for its protective case. The use of this stronger material reduces the case’s probability of cracking or breaking and serves as a differentiating factor for estimating this product’s VTC. Use the product-needs matrix described in the course to classify this differentiating factor. What type of product characteristic is it? What type of customer need does it satisfy? Justify your answers. (c) If this stronger material enables Airtight’s new protective…
20 O It costs a pharmaceutical company $35,000 to produce a 1000-pound batch of a drug. The average yield from a batch is unknown but the best case is 90% yield (that is, 900 pounds of good drug will be produced), the most likely case is 85% yield, and the worst case is 70% yield. The annual demand for the drug is unknown, with the best case being 22,000 pounds, the most likely case 18,000 pounds, and the worst case 12.000 pounds. The drug sells for $60 per pound and leftover amounts of the drug can be sold for $8 per pound. To maximize annual expected profit, how many batches of the drug should the company produce? You can assume that it will produce the batches only once, before demand for the drug is known. You should consider a range of batches between 13 and 22.

After developing the new Personal computer with special functions the company would need to be cautious. Although there are patents out protecting the design of this new computer it is still possible for others to see the design and create something similar based off of it. Although licensing the brand would greatly benefit the cost of production and relieve most of the cost from transportation it would be wise to not give another company the opportunity to see the design. Creating the company in the home-country and exporting would help keep the design to ourselves and is therefore safe. However, doing this will increase the cost of transportation significantly. A third option that the company has is to wholly own a subsidiary. This will allow the company to control all matters regarding the production strategy as well as the marketing aspect. Setting up a wholly owned subsidiary is expensive and a major risk as it requires the parent company to commit 100% of the equity contributed.…
Background:New Pumper system equipment is under consideration by a gulf coast chemical processing plant. One crucial pump moves highly corrosive liquids from specially lined tanks on intercoastal barges into storage and preliminary refining facilities dockside. Beacuse of the variable quality of the raw chemical and the igh pressures imposed on the pump chassis and impellers, a close log is maintained on the number of hours per year that the pump operates safety records and pump componenet deterioration are considered critical control points for this system. As currently planned, rebuild and M&O cost estimates are increased accordingly when cummulative operating time reaches the 6000-hour mark. Information:- First cost: $800,000- Rebuild Cost: $150,000 whenever 6000 cumulative hours are logged. Each rework will cost 20% more than the previous one. A maximum of three rebuilds are allowed.- M&O Costs: $25,000 for each year 1 through 4 $40,000 per year starting the year after the…
