JMA Manufacturing is considering expanding the company's manufacturing capacity at its New Bern plant. Engineering has developed estimates for three expansion plans. A small expansion will cost $1 million. A medium-sized expansion will cost $2 million, while a major expansion will cost $5 million. The income generated by the expansion will depend on the demand for JMA's product. Marketing has developed estimates for the net present value (not including the fixed cost of the capacity expansion) associated with each of the expansion alternatives based on low and high demand scenarios. If JMA decides to go with the small expansion, marketing estimates the company can earn $0.5 million if demand is low and $2 million if demand is high. With the medium expansion, income will be $2 million (low demand) and $3 million (high demand). With the large expansion, marketing estimates income will be $4 million if demand is low and $8 million if

The small boatyard WhiteKayaks are building epoxy kayaks, last year they built 156. Each of those requires 12 kg of epoxy, purchased in 6 kg barrels at €170 each, freight cost is €18 per shipment plus €1 per kg. The annual carrying cost is estimated to 20% of the value. a. If the purchase policy is to buy 20 barrels each time, how much time can be spent on administrative work if the order quantity should be considered optimal. The boat-builder costs €25/h. b. If time spent is 30 minutes, what would be the optimal order quantity?
The Transit Authority (TA)in a metropolitan area operates a subway line that currently carries an average of 6000 passengers per day commuting between the suburbs and downtown. The fare now is $3.00 per ride and the board of the TA is considering raising its price by $0.50 to generate a larger revenue. A study reveals that for each $0.50 increase in fare, the ridership will be reduced by an average of 1000 passengers per day. Using this study, the board determines that, to get maximum profit, the price of the ticket should remain at $3.00. Is this correct? Explain why or why not.

In 2011, the united states government was facing a $1.5 trillion federal budget deficit. Numerous cuts were proposed, including cutting federal funding of the Corporation for Public broadcasting (CPB). The western reserve public media website argued against the cuts, saying: public television is America's largest classroom, ...all at the cost of about $1.35 per person per year.... Eliminating the...investment in CPB would only reduce the $1.5trillion federal budget deficit by less than 3 ten-thousandths of one percent, but it would have a devastating impact on local communities nationwide. Use the information in the first paragraph to estimate annual federal spending on public broadcasting.
The Vintage Restaurant, on Captiva Island near Fort Myers, Florida, is owned and operated by Karen Payne. The restaurant just completed its third year of operation. Since opening her restaurant, Karen has sought to establish a reputation for the Vintage as a high-quality dining establishment that specializes in fresh seafood. Through the efforts of Karen and her staff, her restaurant has become one of the best and fastest growing restaurants on the island. To better plan for future growth of the restaurant, Karen needs to develop a system that will enable her to forecast food and beverage sales by month for up to one year in advance. Table 17.25 shows the value of food and beverage sales ($1000s) for the first three years of operation. Dependent variable: What is the variable: ___________________________________________ How it is measured, i.e. what units or categories are used (e.g., revenue measured in “dollars”; height measured as “short, average, tall”)…
Julie is considering installing solar photovoltaic panels on the roof of her house. Her monthly electricity bills currently average $60. The cost of installing a photovoltaic system is $18,000; however, she expects a 30% reduction in this cost due to tax credits and local rebates. Assuming all of her electrical needs are met by the new system and neglecting possible revenue when the system puts electricity back into the grid, what is the approximate payback period for the photovoltaic system? The photovoltaic panels will pay for themselves in approximately months. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Describe the results of your two graphs as they compare to the movement of demand. Be specific. Choosing between the three-period and the five-period forecasts, which length of averaging would you use as a purchasing manager of Greenfield’s Tannery? Be sure to factor in the cumulative forecast errors in your answer. Also, make sure you include some rationale about why you are picking the method you do for this particular business. So for example, does picking one method over the other have any impact on how much inventory they will have on hand to meet customer demand? What happens when the demand drops? Which method better supports that?
XYZ Manufaturing company has hired a new VP (D.A.King) for managing capacity investment decisions. Mr. King reviews the situation after he comes on board and decides that he can invest in Batch manufacturing, Custom manufacturing or Group technology.

A regional municipality is studying a water supply plan for its tri-city and surrounding area to the end of year 2070. To satisfy the water demand, one suggestion is to construct a pipeline from a major lake some distance away. Construction would start at the beginning of 2030 and take five years at a cost of $30 million per year. The cost of maintenance and repairs starts after completion of construction and for the first year is $3 million, increasing by 2 percent per year thereafter. At an interest rate of 7 percent, what is the present worth of this project? Assume all cash flows take place at year-end. Consider the present to be the end of 2025/beginning of 2026. Assume there is no salvage value at the end of year 2070. Click the icon to view the table of compound interest factors for discrete compounding periods when i = 7%.
