QUESTION 3 A wholesaler must decide how many computers to purchase before they know how many they will be able to sell to local retailers. The wholesaler purchases the computers for $300 each and sells them to retailers for $350 each. If the wholesaler is not able to sell them to a retailer then the wholesaler can return them to the manufacturer (for a refund of the $300 cost), but the wholesaler must pay $40 per computer that it returns to the manufacturer (in shipping, handling, and insurance costs). The following probability distribution describes the number of computers the wholesaler may possibly sell to local retailers: there is a 21% chance that they will sell1 900 computers, a 56% chance that they will sell 1200 computers; otherwise, they will sell 1500 computers. What is the expected number of computers the wholesaler will sell? (please round your answer to 1 decimal place)

blady has to decide whether to resign or not from his present position and apply for job offering him twice his present monthly salary, that is if he passes the qualifying test. At present he receives $3,000 monthly compensation. The offer in another company has a condition that he will not be allowed to take qualifying test, unless he resigns from his present post. If he passes the qualifying test he will immediately be taken in and have a monthly salary pay of $6,000. If he fails, he will remain jobless. He feels that his chance of passing the test is 35%. Suppose he decides to base his decision on his expected value, should he resign from his post or not?

A company uses 5000 items per annum which has a price of $2 each. The ordering costs are $150 per order and holding costs are $1.50 per item per annum. The company is offered a 5% discount (discounted price is $1.90) for orders of 5000 and over. Order cost and holding cost remain at $150 per order and $1.50 respectively. Assuming that the company orders 5000 items per order, calculate the number of orders per annum, average stock, annual stock holding cost, annual order cost, annual inventory cost and the total annual cost of items and inventory.
Meet Kevin and Martha. Kevin is 35 years of age, and Martha is 37. They are planning to begin a family within the next year. Right now, they do not have any personal insurance policies at all. Both do have life insurance policies (in the amounts of $100 000 and $120 000 respectively) provided as employment benefits by their employers. Kevin earns $75 000 annually and Martha earns $100 000 annually. They own a modest home in North York worth $700 000, and their mortgage is approximately $400 000. They have no other significant debt outstanding. Given that they plan to start their family in the next year, and want two children, what are your thoughts about their existing insurance coverage. Create an argument for them showing that either they have enough insurance, too much insurance, or insufficient insurance.

Sarah studies Business and Management and she also has a part-time job as a waitress at a restaurant. The restaurant does not include service charges in their bills, and therefore Sarah often receives tips from the customers. Some customers give her very generous tips, while others leave hardly anything or nothing at all. Sarah began to wonder what the size of the tip may depend on. Just out of curiosity, she started to keep a record of the total prices on the bills and the tips she received. At first, she fit a simple linear regression model to the data and found that the size of the tip was significantly related to the total price. But at this point, she speculated that the tips may be affected by other factors as well, and an even better model could possibly be constructed by including further independent variables. For instance, the chef who prepares the dish(es) might affect the customers' satisfaction. The restaurant employs three chefs: Richard, Thomas, and Linda. Sarah decides…

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…
A chef must decide how many chocolate lava cakes to prepare for the upcoming Mother's Day Dinner special. The chef can either prepare 50, 100, or 150 lava cakes. Assume that demand for the lava cakes can be 50, 100, or 150. Each dish costs $5 to make and is priced at for $7 on the menu. Unsold cakes are donated to a nearby charity center. Assume that there is no opportunity cost for lost sales. The cafe owner told the chef that in the past years, the probability that clients will order 50 cakes is 0.30; the probability they will order 100 cakes is 0.50, and the probability that they will order 150 cakes is 0.20. What is the best alternative using the EMV criterion?
Three priceing options are available: Silver plan: $20/month for up to 200 Mb's of service plus $0.16 for each additional Mb of service.

For how many Mb's of service is the Silver Plan the bes pricing option?
