Explanation of Solution

A process is an activity that receives inputs and transforms them into outputs by adding value during the transformation period. It is a series of steps taken to achieve a particular end result.

University:

The inputs could be books, printed hard-copy material, other stationary suppliers, and the students studying the college. The transformation process would be education and training activities. The output will be the educated graduates leaving the university after completing the course.

Grocery store:

The inputs could be shelf-stable food, perishable and frozen foods, grocery bags, promotions and advertisement, and the shoppers involved in the shopping process. The transformation is the exchange of cash for the purchased goods. The output can be satisfied shoppers leaving the grocery store.

Brewery:

The inputs are the grain, water, hops, yeast used for making beer and the bottles, cans and other packaging material. The transformation process is the conversion of raw materials where the ingredients are converted into beer. The output is the beer filled bottles and cans exiting the assembly line and ready for sale.

Each machine costs $3 Million. Building the room with all its attendant safety protection and other ancillary costs increases the spending by an additional $2.0 million dollars per MRI suite. Each machine can perform 2000 scans per year. Each reading of an MRI scan by a radiologist, along with other per-scan-related costs, is $500 per scan. The machine will last five years.  Don’t worry about discount rates for this problem Graph the total costs over 5 years as a function of sales for 0-3000 patients annually. Hint: you may need to add a second MRI at some point. Suppose that you want to make a profit of $500 per scan at a target volume of 1000 patients per year, and you purchase only one machine.  Superimpose the total revenue curve on top of the total cost curve in (1).
