A company's board consists of 4 people: Abigail (the CEO), Benoit, Charlie, and Debra.
When they take a vote, if there is a majority (either up or down), that vote prevails.
If, however, there is a tie, then Abigail's vote is the tie-breaker (e.g. if A&B vote up, and C&D vote down, the outcome is "up", because A's vote breaks the tie).
The truth table will show all possible combinations of the 4 votes, and the final decision for each.

The manager of this production firm is faced with a potential problem: shortages in the supply of a vital gear sprocket. He is considering the development of an in-house capability to make the sprockets, knowing that the firm needs 35,000 such sprockets each year. If the firm elects to make the sprockets internally, then it must select one of the three possible production processes. Each has different costs, as shown in Table 10.17. Adopting a manual process may lead to union problems. The manager estimates the probability of these problems as 25%, and knows that if they do occur, then the variable cost will increase by $0.50 per sprocket. Further, if the semi-automatic or fully automatic option is selected, then additional training of personnel will be required. The amount and therefore the cost of training are uncertain. For the semi-automatic process, the fixed cost of basic training will add $15,000. However, there is a 20% chance the workers will need extra…arrow_forward
- Loyalty points are awarded by a company based on the amount a customer spend. Loyalty points can be used immediately with the current transaction or can be accumulated. The number of loyalty points per transaction is calculated as follows: For purchases of R 500.00 or less, 1 loyalty point will be awarded per R 50.00 spent. For purchases of more than R 500.00 the following applies: For the first R 500.00, 1 loyalty point will be awarded per R 50.00 spent For the remainder of the amount, 2 loyalty points will be awarded per R50.00 spent. Examples: For purchases of R 460.00, 9 loyalty points will be awarded. For purchases of R 660.00, 10 loyalty points will be awarded for the first R 500.00 and 6 loyalty points for the remaining R 160.00 = 16 loyalty points For purchases of R 1250.00, 10 loyalty points will be awarded for the first R 500.00 and 30 loyalty points for the remaining R 750.00 = 40 loyalty points The monetary value of the loyalty points is calculated as follows: The first…arrow_forwardLoyalty points are awarded by a company based on the amount a customer spend.

The cost of production and time required for production for each product varies depending on which factory produces it. The time and cost required for production of each product in each factory is provided in the tables in this worksheet. Demand for products 1, 2 and 3 are 200, 240 and 100 units, respectively. There are a total of 3,000 hours available in each factory. Additionally, at least 60% of the total units of Product 1 must be produced in Factory A, and at least 40% of of the total units of Product 2 must be produced in Factory B.

The firm's geologist believes the field has the potential to produce gas for many years. The revenue resulting from the gas well the first year after drilling is $600,000; based on previous experiences with similar types of wells, it is expected the annual revenue will decrease at an annual rate of 3%. Likewise, the costs of operating the well the first year totals $100,000; costs are expected to increase at an annual rate of 7%.
