Tattle Tots makes a fiberglass tricycle for kids that is composed of three major components: a handlebar-front wheel-
pedal assembly, a seat, and frame unit, and rear wheels. The company has orders for 12,000 of these tricycles. The
company does not have the resources available to manufacture everything needed for the completion of 12,000
tricycles so it has gathered purchase information for each component.
The following table shows relevant information:

- Myrtle Air Express decided to offer direct servide from Cleveland to Myrtle Beach. Management must decide between a full-price service using the company's new fleet of jet aircraft and a discount service using smaller-capacity commuter planes. It is clear that the best choice depends on the market reaction to the service Myrtle Air offers. Management developed estimates of the contribution to profit for each type of service based on three possible levels of demand for service to Myrtle Beach: strong, medium and weak. The following table shows the estimated quarterly profits (in thousands of dollars): Demand for Service Service Strong Medium Weak Full Price 950 600 -400 Discount 750 450 300 Probability 0.4 0.3 0.3 Suppose that management of Myrtle Air Express has developed the following utility function: U(950) = 100, U(750) = 89, U(600) = 72, U(450) = 58, U(300) = 48, and U(-400) = 0.

- Cregg Hart is manufacturing manager for Larabee Engineering, a locomotive engine and rail car manufacturer. The company has been very successful in recent years, and in July 2016 signed two major contracts totaling nearly $200 million. A key to the company’s success has been its focus on quality. Customers from around the world have been very pleased with the attention to detail put forth by Larabee Engineering. One of the things Cregg has been adamant about is that Larabee Engineering’s suppliers also provide high quality. As a result, when the company finds good suppliers, it stays with them and tries to establish a long-term relationship. However, Cregg must also factor in the costs of parts and materials and has instructed his purchasing staff to be on the lookout for “better deals.” Recently, Sheryl Carleson, purchasing manager, identified a new rivet supplier in Europe that claims its rivets are as good or better quality than the current supplier’s but at a much lower cost.
