Finally the weekend arrived. Friday evening and the CFO had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant. Suddenly a friend interrupted his conversation with his girlfriend. "I'm totally lost and don't know what to do" his friend said. His friend had got a job at LRF that is the umbrella organisation for Swedish farmers and now obviously he was in trouble! He asked his friend to calm down and call him bright and early Saturday morning. At 6:30AM the phone rang..... Yepp, that is what weekends are for the CFO mumbled as he rose up to attend his friend while he looked at his golf equipment with sad eyes. His friend gave him the following input: "We do have a new fertilizer that looks promising.

It is estimated that there are 35 deaths for every 10 million people who use airplanes. A company that sells flight insurance provides $100,000 in case of death in a plane crash. A policy can be purchased for $1. Calculate the expected value and thereby determine how much the insurance company can make over the long run for each policy that it sells. The expected value is $ (Round to the nearest cent.) ITS
Sunny Groves is a citrus grower in a southern state that has several citrus orchards. Weather forecasters are predicting a significant drop in temperatures over the next two days. The forecast calls for a 25% chance of near-freezing temperatures and a 10% chance of a deep freeze. The management of Sunny Groves is concerned that the impending bad weather may damage their crop of citrus fruit. If the weather is fine, the company stands to make $1,000,000 revenue for their harvest. There are three options that the company can take in light of the coming weather: (1) Do nothing and hope for the best. If the orchards experience near-freezing temperatures, the company will lose half of its crop (and half of the revenue). A deep freeze would destroy all of the fruit (and lead to no revenue). Obviously, taking no precautions costs nothing. (2) Take moderate precautions. This involves having many workers placing heaters and warming tents about the orchards. This would cost $50,000 and reduce…
! Required information Don Carson and two colleagues are considering opening a law office in a large metropolitan area to make inexpensive legal services available to people who cannot otherwise afford these services. They intend to provide easy access for their clients by having the office open 360 days per year, 16 hours each day from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. A lawyer, paralegal, legal secretary, and clerk-receptionist would staff the office for each of the two 8-hour shifts. To determine the feasibility of the project, Don hired a marketing consultant to assist with market projections. The consultant's results show that if the firm spends $538,000 on advertising the first year, the number of new clients expected each day would have the following probability distribution: Number of New Clients per Day 10 20 40 60 Probability 0.10 0.10 0.20 0.60 Don and his associates believe these numbers to be reasonable and are prepared to spend the $538,000 on advertising. Other pertinent…
