The cost of preventive maintenance is high due to performing it between 1 and 4 a.m. each day by two machine experts. The preventive
maintenance cost is $2,030 per day including replacement parts, cleaning, and software upgrades. The cost of a breakdown of $1,940 is also high
because the downstream workstations can only work until all work-in-progress inventory is completed; then the entire process must stop. What are
the economics of the situation? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Howard Weiss, Inc., is considering building a sensitive new radiation
scanning device. His managers believe that there is a probability of 0.6 that
the ATR Co. will come out with a competitive product. If Weiss adds an
assembly line for the product and ATR Co. does not follow with a
competitive product, Weiss's expected profit is $40,000; if Weiss adds an
assembly line and ATR follows suit, Weiss still expects $10,000 profit. If
Weiss adds a new plant addition and ATR does not produce a competitive
product, Weiss expects a profit of $600,000; if ATR does compete for this
market, Weiss expects a loss of $100,000.
What is the best decision based on expected monetary value (EMV)? What
are the EMV and the expected value of perfect information (EVPI)?
The best decision is to select the new plant with the EMV of $320,000 and the
EVPI is $364,000.
The best decision is to select the assembly line with the EMV of $180,000 and the
EVPI is $66,000.

- Howard Weiss, Inc., is considering building a sensitive new radiation scanning device. His managers believe that there is a probability of 0.40 that the ATR Co. will come out with a competitive product. If Weiss adds an assembly line for the product and ATR Co. does not follow with a competitive product, Weiss's expected profit is $40,000; if Weiss adds an assembly line and ATR follows suit, Weiss still expects $20,000 profit. If Weiss adds a new plant addition and ATR does not produce a competitive product, Weiss expects a profit of $600,000; if ATR does compete for this market, Weiss expects a loss of $100,000. a) Expected value for the Add Assembly Line option = $ (enter your answer as a whole number).arrow_forwardA manager is going to purchase new processing equipment and must decide on the number ofspare parts to order with the new equipment.
