- Redo Exercise 5, assuming that the house blend contains 300 grams of Colombian beans, 50 grams of Kenyan beans, and 150 grams of French roast beans and the gourmet blend contains 100 grams of Colombian beans, 350 grams of Kenyan beans, and 50 grams of French roast beans. This time the merchant has on hand 30 kilograms of Colombian beans, 15 kilograms of Kenyan beans, and 15 kilograms of French roast beans. Suppose one bag of the house blend produces a profit of $0.50, one bag of the special blend produces a profit of $1.50, and one bag of the gourmet blend produces a profit of $2.00.

You have to estimate the first year net profit, which depends on several variables • Sales volume (in units) • Price per unit • Unit cost . Fixed costs Your net profit is net profit = sales volume x (price per unit-unit cost) - fixed cost The fixed cost is $120, 000, but other factors have some uncertainty. Based on your market research, there are equal chance that the market will be slow, ok, or hot. • Slow market the sales volume follows Poisson distribution with mean 50,000 units product, and the average price per unit is $11.00 ● Ok market the sales volume follows Poisson distribution with mean 75,000 units product, the average price per unit is $10.00 Hot market: the sales volume follows Poisson distribution with mean 100,000 units product, but the competition is severe so you expect the average price per unit is just $8.00 No matter what the market type is, your average unit…arrow_forward

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.

- A company that focuses on research and development (R&D) is interested in the relationship between profit and some variables that can explain profit variations. They want to predict the profits of some new and exciting projects because some are risky. The predictor variables considered are: RISK which is a company derived metric, R&D which is the research and development costs, REGION (WC, EC and KZN) and average per capita income (INCOME in R1000.00). The analyst decides to estimate the regression function with the following response function. Ý (profit) = bo + b₁XRisk + b₂XR&D + b3Xwc + b4Xec + b5XINC Answer the following questions. 4.1.
