- QUESTION 1 Manager T. C. Downs of Plum Engines, a producer of lawnmowers and leaf blowers, must develop an aggregate plan given the forecast for engine demand shown in the table. The department has a regular output capacity of 105 engines per month. Regular output has a cost of $65 per engine. The beginning inventory is zero engines. Overtime has a cost of $120 per engine. Month Total Forecast 95 100 115 400 Compare the costs to a level plan that uses inventory to absorb fluctuations. Inventory carrying cost is $3 per engine per month. Backlog cost is $100 per engine per month. There should not be a backlog in the last month. Set regular production equal to the monthly average of total forecasted demand Assume that using overtime is not an option. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.

The demand will be low, medium, or high; with probabilities are 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5, respectively. If they start a small branch that sells only take away sandwiches, the associated net payoffs are EGP 25,000; 30,0003; and 80,000 for low, medium, and high demand. If the company chooses an expanded facility that offers take away sandwiches and fast foods, it must build a new building and rent additional area. The net payoffs for an expanded facility are EGP (80,000), (27,000), and 48,000. Required: • Draw a decision tree for this case • What should the company do to maximize the net payoff?arrow_forward
