When leaving the office today, she starts to cry and tell you that she can no longer afford her blood pressure medications, cholesterol medications, blood work, and office visits each month.

what is the expected payoff $____
Cheryl Druehl Retailers, Inc., must decide whether to build a small or a large facility at a new location in Fairfax. Demand at the location will either be low or high, with probabilities 0.3 and 0.7,respectively. If Cheryl builds a small facility and demand proves to be high, she then has the option of expanding the facility. If a small facility is built and demand proves to be high, and then the retailer expands the facility, the payoff is $230,000. If a small facility is built and demand proves to be high, but Cheryl then decides not to expand the facility, the payoff is $203,000.
If a small facility is built and demand proves to be low, then there is no option to expand and the payoff is $250,000. If a large facility is built and demand proves to be low, Cheryl then has the option of stimulating demand through local advertising. If she does not exercise this option, then the payoff is $40,000. If she does exercise the advertising option, then the response to…

Seminole’s management has determined that the cost of either investing in or selling marketable securities is $200. By looking at Seminole Company’s past cash needs, they have determined that the variance of daily cash flows is $10,000. Seminole Company’s opportunity cost of cash, per day, is estimated to be 0.05%. Seminole management has figured, based on their experience dealing with the cash flows of the company, that there should be a cushion— a safety stock—of cash of $20,000. 1. How much is the variance of daily cash flows? (Use a number, no decimal value, no commas, no currency, no space) * 2. How much is the opportunity cost of cash, per day? (Use a number, must be in decimal form. eg. 6.3%/100, encode 0.063 , no commas, no currency, no space) * 3. How much is the cost per transaction?
