Chemitronix Ltd. is a microchips manufacturing company. It was found that the business is at the maturity stage, demanding some
change. After rigorous research, management came up with the following decision variables
Expansion: 45% chance of gaining 1,500,000; 55% chance of losing X
New Product: 50% chance of gaining 900,000; 50% chance of losing 576354
What must have been the value of expansion loss if expansion and new product will result to the same expected monetary values?

- A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationshipbetween the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price = 150 − 0.01× Demand for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (i.e., perprinting) = RM50,000 and the variable cost per unit= RM40. a) Analyze what is the maximum profit that can be achieved if the maximum expected demand is 6,000 units per year. b) Compute what is the unit price at this point of optimal demand.arrow_forwardMother E, a business selling specialized helmet, has a carrying cost of P70 per unit per order.

The component’s purchase price, $0.90, compared favorably with the standard price of $1.10. Given the quantity that would be purchased, Pat knew that the favorable price variance would help to offset an unfavorable variance for another component. By offsetting the unfavorable variance, his overall performance report would be impressive and good enough to help him qualify for the annual bonus. More importantly, a good performance rating this year would help him to secure a position at division headquarters at a significant salary increase. Purchase of the part, however, presented Pat with a dilemma. Consistent with his past behavior, Pat made inquiries regarding the reliability of the new supplier and the part’s quality. Reports were basically negative. The supplier had a reputation for making the first two or three deliveries on…arrow_forward

The engineers are not sure about the salvage value of the variable speed machine, so they have asked several different used-equipment dealers for estimates. The results can be summarized as follows: there is a 35% chance of getting $18,000, a 41% chance of getting $24,000, and a 13% chance of getting $29,000. Also, there is an 11% chance that the company may have to pay $5000 to dispose of the equipment.

However, in a receding economy the expected return is 8%. Normally a 10% per year return is anticipated. An expanding economy causes the estimates of project life to go down about 20%, and a receding economy causes the life values to increase about 10%. Additionally, the market value after the project’s life varies widely; optimistically, it may be as high as 50% more or as low as 75% of the initial investment. (a) Summarize the optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic estimates in tabular form. (b) Use a spreadsheet to calculate and plot the sensitivity of PW versus (1) MARR, (2) life values, and (3) market value for possible investment in one of two locations.
