The first singly owned, would cost Php20.00 a sq.m, but would needa roadway system, including the access road, 4,000 meters long, at a cost of Php 110.00 per meter. Additional development expenses would be Php 60,000 to subdivide and grade into 320 house löts, and another Php 32,000 for a hollow block fence and security gates. The second site consists of three lots, separately owned, with a total area of 18 hectares: 7 hectares at Php 25.00 a sq.m. 5 hectares at Php 21.00 a sq.m and 6 hectares at Php 14.00 a sq.m. The road system for this would be only 3,200 meters long at Php 100.00 per meter, but needs two box culverts each costing Php 25.000.00. Lot grading would be Php 35,000; fencing and security 8atës Phip 24,000. Assuming that all…
7. Suisan Fish Company must decide whether to build a small or a large warehouse at a new location, Kona. Demand at Kona can be either low or high, with probabilities estimated to be 0.4 and 0.6, respectively. If a small warehouse is built, and demand is high, the fish manager may choose to maintain the current size or to expand. The net present value of profits is $220,000 if the company chooses not to expand. However, if the firm chooses to expand, there is a 50% chance that the net present value of the returns will be $330,000 and a 50% chance the estimated net present value of profits will be $220,000. If a small warehouse is built and demand is low, there is no reason to expand and the net present value of the profits is $210,000. However, if a large warehouse is built and the demand turns out to be low, the choice is to do nothing with a net present value of $25,000 or to stimulate demand through local advertising. The response to advertising can be either modest with a…

Katie Reynolds owns two exclusive women's clothingstores in Miami. In her plan to expand to a third location,she has narrowed her decision to three sites- one in a downtownoffice building, one in a shopping mall, and one in anold Victorian house in the suburban area of Coral Gables.

Further, the more distant the new store is from her twoexisting stores, the better. She weights this factor to be 80%as important as walk-in traffic. Katie developed the followingtable, in which she graded each site from A to D, with A beingbest. Which site is preferable?

Boekenhoutskloof Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, the farm’s name means “ravine of the Boekenhout” (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for furniture making. In 1993 the farm and homestead were bought and restored and a new vineyard planting programme was established that now includes Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon and Viognier. As a producer, Boekenhoutskloof is a Syrah specialist, with its premium Boekenhoutskloof range selling out on the release of each vintage, and The Chocolate Block – a Syrah based blend – is probably the most successful new wine offering to come out of South Africa in the modern era. The quest to understand the name of this wine and the wine itself is now the stuff of legend. While we are not about to reveal all, we can say that the style of the wine is a reflection of our belief that the Cape, with its…

Mega Ltd was a water heater manufacturer. Just enough money was made by the business in its first year of operation to cover its expenses. The business examined the causes of the lower revenue in order to boost it. Following study, the corporation made the following decisions: ● To lower labor expenses by moving the production facility to a low-income area where labor was inexpensive. ● To begin producing solar water heaters and gradually cut back on the output of electric water heaters. This will assist in achieving other goals in addition to helping to cover the risks. a) What are the management goals that were previously addressed and how can they be described b) What are the two principles that the business wished to spread throughout society.
Problem 3 12. Grafton Metalworks Company produces metal alloys from six different ores it mines. The com- pany has an order from a customer to produce an alloy that contains four metals according to the following specifications: at least 21% of metal A, no more than 12% of metal B, no more than 7% of metal C, and between 30% and 65% of metal D. The proportion of the four metals in cach of the six ores and the level of impurities in each ore are provided in the following table: Metal (%) A BC D Cost/Ton Ore Impurities (%) 19 15 12 14 40 $27 43 10 25 15 25 3 17 53 30 32 20 12 18 50 22 24 10 31 35 20 6. 12 18 16 25 29 24 When the metals are processed and refined, the impurities are removed. The company wants to know the amount of each ore to use per ton of the alloy that will minimize the cost per ton of the alloy. a. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.
During a major expansion in 2004, Douwalla’s Import Company developed a new processing line for which the delivered equipment cost was $1.75 million. This year, the board of directors decided to expand into new markets and expects to build the current version of the same line. Estimate the cost if the following factors are applicable: construction cost factor is 0.20, installation cost factor is 0.50, indirect cost factor applied against equipment is 0.25, and the total plant cost index has risen from 2509 to 3713 over the years.
