- Balboa Industries’ Electronics Division is trying to reduce supply chain risk by making more responsible make/buy decisions through improved cost estimation. A high-use component (expected usage is 5000 units per year) can be purchased for $25 per unit with delivery promised within a week. Alternatively, Balboa can make the component inhouse and have it readily available at a cost of $5 per unit, if equipment costing $150,000 is purchased. Labor and other operating costs are estimated to be $35,000 per year over the study period of 5 years. Salvage is estimated at 10% offirst cost and i = 12% per year. Neglecting the element of availability (a) determine the breakeven quantity, and (b) recommend making or buying atthe expected usage level.arrow_forwardWhy is the definition of Uber's business changing?arrow_forwardA commodity is to be supplied at the constant rate of 200 units per day. Supplies of any amount can be had at any required time but each ordering costs Rs. 50/-. Cost of holding the commodity in inventory is Rs. 2/- per unit per day while the delay in the supply of the item induces a penalty of Rs.10/- per unit per delay of one day. Find the optimal policy, q and 1, where t is the reorder cycle period and q is the inventory level after reorder. What would be the best policy if the penalty cost becomes infinity?arrow_forward

- A mortgage company classifies its borrowers into three categories: Low Risk, Medium Risk, and High Risk. From experience, the company knows that: • 2% of low risk borrowers eventually default on their mortgages. • 6% of medium risk borrowers eventually default on their mortgages. 13% of high risk borrowers eventually default on their mortgages. The mortgages for 132 high risk borrowers are put together into one portfolio. The company determines that they will profit on the portfolio as long as no more than 19% of borrowers with mortgages in the portfolio default. What is the probability that the company makes a profit on the portfolio?
