2. Airtight Manufacturing produces plastic cases that utility companies buy to protect electronic components on utility poles from weather damage. (a) The protective case currently used by utility companies has a 0.045 probability of cracking or breaking in any given year. When a protective case cracks or breaks, the utility company incurs a $800 expense to replace the case. What is the expected value of the utility company’s repair costs per protective case? Show your work. (b) Airtight has recently developed a stronger material for its protective case. The use of this stronger material reduces the case’s probability of cracking or breaking and serves as a differentiating factor for estimating this product’s VTC. Use the product-needs matrix described in the course to classify this differentiating factor. What type of product characteristic is it? What type of customer need does it satisfy? Justify your answers. (c) If this stronger material enables Airtight’s new protective…
(Tax evasion) A household with income Y decides how much income to un- derreport (R). The household is taxed at rate t. The available income after reporting Y - R is Y - t(Y – R) The government monitors households and can detect tax evasion with probability p. If the govern- ment finds the household misreported income, the available household income becomes Y(1 – t) – P(R) Henceforth, the expected after-tax income of misreporting R is: (1- p) Y – t(Y – R)] + p[Y(1 – t) – P(R)] i) What is the optimal amount of income misreported when Y = 100, the tax rate t = 0.25, the probability that the government detects tax evasion is p = 0.2, and the penalty if found evading is P(R) = ? ii) How would tax evasion change if the household is taxed at t = 0.4. Interpret the difference with your answer in i).

1. Bothers John and Jason Rogers are trying to establish Illinois RiverHawk Floats to offer rafts for customers to float the Illinois River. 50 rafts are leased from a supplier for a monthly (30 days) cost of $415 per raft. The rafts are rented to customers for $25 per day. Customer demand follows a normal distribution, with a mean of 50 rafts and standard deviation of 8.5 rafts. (Make all demands integers in the model). If all 50 rafts are rented out, customers are referred to another outfitter who has a working relationship with the brothers. a. Set up the model and simulate a month (30 days) of operation to calculate the total monthly profit b. Replicate the simulation for 5 months (the expected float season) and determine the average total monthly profit. Note: this does not mean make 5 copies of the model. Run it 5 times, record and use the results appropriately.
