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…
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…
Elaine Benes is considering three possible ways to invest the $200,000 she has just inherited. Some of Elaine’s friends are considering financing a combined laundromat, video-game arcade, and pizzeria, where the young singles in the area can meet and play while doing their laundry. This venture is highly risky and could result in either a major loss or a substantial gain within a year. Elaine estimates that the chances of losing all the money (i.e. loss of $200,000) are 47%, while the chances of making a $200,000 profit are 53%. Elaine can invest in some new apartments that are being built in town. Within 1 year, this fairly conservative project will produce a profit of at least $10,000, but it might yield $20,000 or even $30,000. Elaine estimates the probabilities of these yields at 20%, 50%, and 30% respectively. Elaine can invest in some private securities that have a current yield of 5%. Construct (draw) a decision tree for Elaine to determine which investment will maximize her…
McJester's Burger Hut plans to expand by opening several new restaurants. The chain operates two types of restaurants: drive-through and full-service. A drive-through restaurant costs $111,000 to construct, requires 7 employees, and has an expected annual revenue of $205,000. A full-service restaurant costs $184,000 to construct, requires 17 employees, and has an expected annual revenue of $565,000. McJester's has $3,250,000 in capital available for expansion. Labor contracts require that they higher no more than 325 employees. Licensing restrictions require that they open no more than 25 new restaurants. Let x be the number of drive-through restaurants and let y be the number of full-service restaurants in this expansion. Let R be the expected annual revenue in dollars resulting from the expansion. McJester's wants to maximize the expected revenue. Set up the linear programming problem. Answer the following questions about this linear programming problem. The question is attached…
A large defense contractor is considering making a specialized investment in a facility to make helicopters. The firm currently has a contract with the government, which, over the lifetime of the contract, is worth 100mn euro to the firm. It is considering building a new production plant for these helicopters; doing so will reduce the production costs to the company, increasing the value of the contract from 100mn euro to 200mn euro. The cost of the plant will be 60mn euro. However, there is the possibility that the government will cancel the contract. If that happens, the value of the contract will fall to zero. The problem (from the company’s point of view) is that it will only find out about the cancellation after it completes the new plant. At this point, it appears that the probability that the government will cancel the contract is 0.45. Draw a decision tree reflecting the decisions and find the equilibrium.
