JJF Development is planning to build a new high-rise apartment complex on the Sunshine Coast. It will be highly profitable for the company if the project receives government approval. However, the shadow cast by the proposed high-rise will completely cover the swimming pool and sunbathing area of the nearby Elizabeth Hotel in shade from 1pm onwards. Therefore, the owners of the Elizabeth Hotel believe that the development will make their hotel a less desirable destination for holidaymakers, and will impact the profitability of the company. They instead want JJF to build only a low-rise development, as this will not impact them at all. Their respective benefits are shown below: Gains to Elizabeth Hotel ($million) Gains to JJF ($million) Total (Smillion) Low Rise is Constructed 400 300 700 High Rise is Constructed 130 900 How much would both parties receive if "cash on the table" was equally divided between them from constructing the proposed high rise development? Answer to the nearest whole number (in $million, with no decimal places, $ sign, space or commas).

Both Google and Amazon are major players in the smart home market, using their own internally developed smart home control system (Google Assistant and Alexa, respectively). Suppose each is considering a new round of investments into their smart home offerings, which could build on their in-house system or be tailored to a new open source standard system, called Connected Home. Google estimates that it will cost $1.2 billion to build on Google Assistant and $2.0 billion to move to Connected Home. Amazon's projected cost of building on Alexa is $1.1 billion, while the cost of moving to Connected Home is $2.7 billion. As shown in the accompanying table, each company's projected revenues depend not only on the technology it uses, but also on the technology used by its rival, Projected Revenues for Different Combinations of Smart Home Technologies (in billions) Technologies (Google-Amazon) Google's Revenues $12.1 $12.1 $9.8 Amazon's Revenues Google Assistant-Alexa $13.5 Google…
Techware Incorporated is considering the introduction of two new software products to the market. The company has four options regarding these products: introduce neither product, introduce product 1 only, introduce product 2 only, or introduce both products. Research and development costs for products 1 and 2 are $180,000 and $150,000, respectively. Note that the first option entails no costs because research and development efforts have not yet begun. The success of these software products depends on the national economy in the coming year. The company's revenues, depending on its decision and the state of the economy, are given in the file P09_33.xlsx. The probabilities of a strong, fair, or weak economy in the coming year are assessed to be 0.10, 0.60, and 0.30, respectively. a. Use PrecisionTree to identify the strategy that maximizes Techware's expected net revenue. Techware's optimal decision is to introduce Select: both products - product 1 only - product 2 only - neither…
Your company has a new project to be considered. You are given the following information on the best guess of related outcomes for the project. The cost of developing and market testing the product over the next year is $225 million. If the test is successful, which has a 65% chance, the company will spend another $800 million to put the production capabilities in place. The expected cash flows after tax for a successful project are $225 million each year for the next six years with a probability of.8; there is a 20% chance of a zero NPV. If the test fails the cash flows associated with continuing through the sixth year are $125 million per year after tax. The company uses a 12% discount rate for these types of projects. Draw and label the decision tree. Explain what decisions management would make at each node upon their realization.
Kipling Equipment Inc. must decide to produce either a face mask or a face shield to X alleviate the spread of a quickly evolving coronavirus. The face mask is disposable and developing it could potentially lead to a profit of $300,000 if competition is high or a profit of $470,000 if competition is low. The face shield, on the other hand, is reusable and has the potential of generating a fixed profit of $430,000 irrespective of high or low competition. The probability of high competition is 52% while that of low competition is 48%. Co Part A Construct a decision tree or a payoff table for the decision problem and use it to answer the following questions. a) What is the expected monetary value of the optimal decision? $ b) Based on expected monetary value, what should the Kipling do? $ Produce face shield c) What is the upper bound on the amount Kipling should pay for additional information? $ Part B
Airbus owns 2 plants and has contracted to produce 10 airplanes next year. The cost per airplane at plant 1 is given by 17 + (q1/10) and the cost per airplane at plant 2 is 7 + q2. No matter how Airbus allocates the production of its planes across the 2 plants, it costs at least as much per plane to produce planes at plant 1 as at plant 2. Therefore, Airbus should shut down plant 1. True, false, or uncertain? Explain and show your work.

You have hired a contractor to remodel your kitchen, and you have a budget of $12,000. The contractor has given you an estimate of $10,000 to complete the work. As the project progresses, however, the dollar amount continues to rise due to increasing materials costs, and, in the end, you are charged $15,000. In this case, you know that the variances were due to the increased materials costs required in order to complete the project as agreed. Sometimes, however, when you encounter a variance, whether favorable or unfavorable, you may not initially know the reason for the difference. As part of your decision making, you will need to do some analysis to determine the cause(s) for any variances you encounter so that you can account for them in future projects. With these thoughts in mind, respond to the following: Describe a time when you encountered a variance between what was planned and the end result, whether in your personal or professional life.
