You are considering opening a book store near the campus, and you have begun an analysis of the situation. There are three possible sites under consideration. One is relatively small, the second is of medium size, while the third is large. If you open at site 1 and demand is good, you will generate a profit of $ 18,000. If demand is moderate, your profit is $12000 while with low demand, you will lose $ 6,000. If you open at site 2 and demand is high you will generate a profit of $ 28,000, if demand is moderate you will generate a profit of $1400 but you will lose $11,000 if the demand is low. If you open at site 3 and demand is high you will generate a profit of $ 42,000, if demand is moderate, you will generate a loss of $5000 and you will lose $18,000 if the demand is low You also have the option of not opening either.

Two firms, Gene's Gloves and Wally's Wallets, have factories near a lake. Both firms use a chemical for tanning leather. Some of this chemical runs into the lake. Each year Gene's Gloves dumps 15,000 gallons and Wally's Wallets dumps 25,000 gallons into the lake. A new study has found that fish and other wildlife are negatively impacted by this chemical. The government has decided to cap the amount that the factories can dump into the river at 10,000 gallons per year. For an addition $1 per gallon, Wally's Wallets is able to substitute each gallon of harmful chemical for one gallon of a harmless alternative. Gene's Gloves needs to use the harmful but more effective chemical for production. It costs $3 per gallon to safely dispose of the harmful chemical. Assume that Gene's Gloves and Wally's Wallets maintain the same level of production under the new environmental restrictions. 1. Suppose the government gives each firm the right to dump 5,000 gallons each. If the firms cannot buy or…
The personal computer industry is very fast moving and technology provides motivation for customers to upgrade with new computers every few years. Brand loyalty is very important and companies try to do things to keep their customers happy. However some current customers will switch to a different company. Three particular brands, Doorway, Bel and Kumpaq, hold the major shares of the market. People who own Doorway computers will buy an- other Doorway in their next purchase 80% of the time, while the rest will switch to the other compa- nies in equal proportions. Owners of Bell computers will buy Bell again 90% of the time, while 5% will buy Doorway and 5% will buy Kumpaq. About 70% of the Kumpaq owners will make Kumpaq their next purchase while 20% will buy Doorway and the rest wil buy Bell. If each brand currently has 200,000 customers who plan to buy a new computer in the next year, how many computers of each type will be purchased?

A manufacturing company that has just located in a small community will pay two million dollars per year in salaries. It has been estimated that 60% of these salaries will be spent in the local area, and 60% of the money spent will again change hands within the community. This process, called the multiplier effect, will be repeated ad infinitum. Find the total amount of local spending that will be generated by company salaries.
A company makes parts that cost $35.00 in material and labor. 92% of the parts are produced defect free and are sold for full price at $110 each. 2% of the parts made must be scrapped. Scrap parts are sold for $8.00 each. The remaining 6% of the parts made must be reworked at a cost of $12.00 each. After rework 1% still must be scrapped and the other 5% is sold at a discounted price of $90 each. a. Draw the tree diagram showing the quality cost situation. b. Determine the earnings per part. c. Determine the cost of poor quality (COPQ). d. Determine the earnings per part and COPQ if the rework operation was shut down and the parts that required reworking were just sold for scrap instead.

Mandrake Falls High School is losing a lot of money through its school laboratories. Accidents and misuse of equipment by students are taking their toll on laboratory supplies. In an attempt to remedy this, Mandrake is experimenting with a weekend course in laboratory techniques. For the time being, lack of resources allow only a portion of Mandrake's lab students to take the weekend course: of the 200 students enrolled in lab classes at Mandrake, only 77 have been able to take the weekend course. Mandrake is interested in evaluating the course's effectiveness in propagating safety in the laboratories. During regular lab classes, lab instructors are recording harmful lab incidents: accidents, misuse of lab equipment, etc. The high school is looking at the data and examining two variables: laboratory performance ("involved in no incident", "involved in exactly one incident", or "involved in 2+ incidents") and status regarding lab techniques course ("took the techniques course" or…
Janus Seagull had a car accident and was out of work for a year. Janus believes that the accident was caused by a vehicle defect. He consulted some lawyers and planned to sue the vehicle manufacturer. During negotiations, the legal team of the vehicle manufacturer offered a $700K settlement. However, Janus needs to settle the $100K in legal fees. Janus asked his lawyer for advice and the lawyer told him that he has a 50% chance of winning the case. If Janus loses, he will incur legal fees of $75K. If he wins, the full requested settlement is also not guaranteed. The lawyer believes that there is a 50% chance that Janus will receive full settlement of $3 million, of which Janus needs to settle $1 million in legal fees. There is a 50% chance that the jury will award Janus $1 million, of which 50% will be taken up by legal fees. What you need to do: 1) Use a decision tree to determine what is Janus’ best option. You need to show the complete decision tree in your submission. 2)…
Henry Lee is the Vice President of Purchasing for the consumer electronics division of the Major Electric Corporation (MEC). The company recently introduced a new type of video camcorder that has taken the market by storm. Although Henry is pleased with the strong demand for this product in the market place, it has been a challenge to keep up with MEC's distributors' orders of this camcorder. His current challenge is how to meet requests from MEC's major distributors in Pittsburgh, Denver, Baltimore, and Houston who have placed orders of 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 25,000 units, respectively, for delivery in 2 months (there is a 1-month manufacturing and one-month shipping lead time for this product). MEC has contracts with companies in Hong Kong, Korea, and Singapore who manufacture camcorders for the company under the MEC label. These contracts require MEC to order a specified minimum number of units each month at a guaranteed per unit cost. The contracts also specify the maximum…

In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $32 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $40 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before finalizing the decision. (a) Determine the equation for computing FTC's profit for given values of the…
