- 5arrow_forwardIt has been observed by management that some faculty members at theuniversity demonstrate a lackadaisical attitude toward teaching. They seldom go to class yet at the end of each month they receive full salary. Management has decided that GHs 200, 300, 400, and 500 will be deducted from a faculty’s salary if he/she offends once, twice, third time and forth time respectively in a month. This means that if a faculty member offends once in a month GHs200 will be deducted, if a faculty member offends twice in a month, GHs 500 (i.e. 200+300) will be deducted, if a faculty member offends three times in a month GHs 900 (i.e. 200+300+400), will be deducted and if a faculty member offends four times in a month GHs 1,400 (i.e. 200+300+400+500).

The company needs to decide if it should bid on the contract. The codt of preparing the bid is $200,000. The company estimates that it has an 80% chance of winning the contract and 20% of losing the bid. If the company wins the bid it will have to pay $2,000,000 to become a partner in the contract. Once they are partners in the contract, they could conduct a market research study at $150,000. The research project could return with a forecast of a high market demand or low market demand. Regardless of the survey result must decide if they want to build the office complex or sell the rights to another company. Homely estimates that selling the contract rights will generate revenues of $3,500,000. If Homely decides to build the office complex they will generate $5,000,000 in revenue if demand is high and $3,000,000 if demand is low. Information for this project is listed below.

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_forwardAn oil and gas exploration firm invested $2,000,000 in drilling for natural gas in a new gas field. 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%. If the firm's MARR is 17%, how long will it take for the firm to recover its investment?

- A farmer in Georgia has a 100-acre farm on which to plant watermelons and cantaloupes. Every acre planted with watermelons requires 50 gallons of water per day and must be prepared for planting with 20 pounds of fertilizer. Every acre planted with cantaloupes requires 75 gallons of water per day and must be prepared for planting with 15 pounds of fertilizer. The farmer estimates that it will take 2 hours of labor to harvest each acre planted with watermelons and 2.5 hours to harvest each acre planted with cantaloupes. He believes that watermelons will sell for about $3 each, and cantaloupes will sell for about $1 each. Every acre planted with watermelons is expected to yield 90 salable units. Every acre planted with cantaloupes is expected to yield 300 salable units. The farmer can pump about 6,000 gallons of water per day for irrigation purposes from a shallow well. He can buy as much fertilizer as he needs at a cost of $10 per 50-pound bag. Finally, the farmer can hire laborers to…arrow_forwardSolvearrow_forwardConsider the following case study: "Springfield University offers a number of courses. A course contains a number of units. Students enrol and elect a set of units every semester. Students are allowed to enrol in a maximum of 5 units in any given seme ster. They can only be enrolled into a single course at any given point in time. However, over a student's lifetime, they may undertake a number of different courses. Each unit has a set fee that is set at the start of the semester. This fee is to be paid up-front in full by the students once enrolled. Some units have pre-requisite unit requirements. Some units have co-requisite unit requirements. To be enrolled in some courses, you must have completed a certain course (e.g. to enrol into a Postgraduate course, you must have an Undergraduate degree)."
