Case: Downtown Kingston Transport Centre/ Project management
The downtown Kingston and Saint Andrew Centre were built for $400 million JAD in 2010 (Reid, 2012). The Centre is owned by the Jamaican Urban Development Corporation (UDC) and was formerly managed and operated by the Kingston and Saint Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) (Reid, 2012). Built as a multipurpose bus and taxi part the centre’s main function was to alleviate traffic congestion in downtown Kingston, especially in the parade area. The centre has become dilapidated and unmanageable due to a lack of usage by transport operators, commuters, implementation, enforcement, and a failure to have an effective transportation policy (Teachdem. n.d.).
“The transportation Centre, which was designed to restore order to the public transportation system in downtown Kingston has failed miserably as most commuters, bus and taxi operators have ignored the facility which detractors say was built in the middle of nowhere” (Radio…
Cost Allocation; Cost Shifting In the last several years, airlines have succeeded in boosting profits by adding fees for previously free services such as in-flight snacks and meals, checked baggage, priority boarding, and other services. These fees have caused some shifts in customer behavior, as more airline passengers bring their own snacks on the airline and pack a smaller bag that is acceptable for “carry-on”. By using carry-on luggage, the airline customer can save $25 or more in baggage-checking fees. This situation has resulted in a cost shifting for passengers, airlines, and airport security. As the number of checked bag decreases, the cost of baggage handling for the airlines decreases (and revenues increase for those bags that are checked). In contrast, the costs and delays in security checkpoints increase as security personnel must check additional carry-on bags, causing delays for passengers and the need for additional security personnel to handle the increased number of…

Some people were concerned, however, that increased home prices could lead to higher rent for people who rented apartments in Brooklyn. Which of the following statements are true? O Allowing Amazon to locate its second headquarters in Brooklyn is a Pareto improvement (i.e., makes one or more persons better off without making anyone worse off) even if some renters will have to pay higher rent. O Allowing Amazon to locate its second headquarters in Brooklyn would not be Kaldor-Hicks efficient if some renters will have to pay higher rent. O Allowing Amazon to locate its second headquarters in Brooklyn is a Kaldor-Hicks improvement if the gain in jobs and tax revenue more than offsets any losses experienced by renters. O…arrow_forward

This year, the board of directors decided to expand into new markets and expects to build the current version of the same line. Estimate the cost if the following factors are applicable: construction cost factor is 0.20, installation cost factor is 0.50, indirect cost factor applied against equipment is 0.25, and the total plant cost index has risen from 2509 to 3713 over the years.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the terms “flexibility,” “expansion,” and “access” in site selection for a processing plant?arrow_forward
- Explain the Center of Gravity Method?arrow_forwardTo save on expenses, Rona and Jerry agreed to form a carpool for traveling to and from work. Rona preferred to use the somewhat longer but more consistent Queen City Avenue. Although Jerry preferred the quicker expressway, he agreed with Rona that they should take Queen City Avenue if the expressway had a traffic jam. The following payoff table provides the one-way time estimate in minutes for traveling to and from work. DecisionAlternative State of Nature ExpresswayOpen s1 ExpresswayJammed s2 Queen City Avenue, d1 35 35 Expressway, d2 30 50 Based on their experience with traffic problems, Rona and Jerry agreed on a 0.05 probability that the expressway would be jammed. In addition, they agreed that weather seemed to affect the traffic conditions on the expressway. Let C = clear O = overcast R = rain The following conditional probabilities apply. P(C|s1) = 0.8 P(C|s2) = 0.1 P(O|s1) = 0.2 P(O|s2) = 0.3 P(R|s1) = 0.0 P(R|s2) = 0.6.
