- Preliminary plans are under way for the construction of a new stadium for a major league baseball team. City officials have questioned the number and profitability of the luxury corporate boxes planned for the upper deck of the stadium. Corporations and selected individuals may buy the boxes for $320,000 each. The fixed construction cost for the upper deck area is estimated to be $5,760,000, with a variable cost of $160,000 for each box constructed. (a) What is the break-even point for the number of luxury boxes in the new stadium? X = (b) Preliminary drawings for the stadium show that space is available for the construction of up to 48 luxury boxes. Promoters indicate that buyers are available and that all 48 could be sold if constructed. (1) What is your recommendation concerning the construction of luxury boxes? O Build the luxury boxes. O Do not build the luxury boxes. (ii) What profit is anticipated (in dollars)? (Enter a negative value if a predicted loss.) $arrow_forwardDecision Table Exercises. An insurance company is going to send a mail to potential customers. The content of the mail is about the current level of discounting and potential level of discounting. The content is different for different types of customers. All customers get a normal letter except Customer Type C, who get a special letter. A customer Type A with only one car gets both letters (normal and special). Any customer with 2 or more Cars or with crdit rating of "X" get a special paragraph added with an offer to subscribe to another level of discounting.

The perfect job was finally advertised, and it's with a company Johnny really wanted to work for. He quickly prepared his resume and cover letter and was successful in getting an interview. After carefully preparing for the interview, Johnny was successful! He got the job. During this process, Johnny thought he needed a little extra "ammunition" in his job hunt. He exaggerated just a little on his GPA and listed an internship that he applied for but did not get. Was he justified in his actions? Since he has been hired, does he have anything to worry about?

- 7. Your company is considering the introduction of a new product line. The initial investment required for this project is $500,000, and annual maintenance costs are anticipated to be $35,000. Annual operating cost will be in direct proportion to the level of production at $8.50 per unit, and each unit of product can be sold for $50.00. If the project has a life of 7 years, what is the minimum annual production level for which this project is economically viable? Work this problem on an after-tax basis. Assume 5-year SL depreciation (SV5=0), MV7 = 0, an effective income tax rate of 40%, and an after-tax MARR of 10% per year.arrow_forwardYou are working on a manufacturing project having a budget of PKR 3,600,000 and the expected time of its completion is one year.

- You were assigned as a project manager for a residential project in North Lebanon. You estimate that the plot will require somewhere between 10,000 square meters and 12,000 square meters of land. The building will have a foot print of 8,000 meters. The rest will be used for gardening and planting trees. You want to benefit from the current LBP conditions and would like the project to be done before 2025. You envision a five story building and a penthouse. The garden will include orange and cherry trees with some bushes. The building will have upscale electrical and mechanical finishing. The super structure will be made from RC with an outside cladding of natural stones. Many of the materials will be imported from outside the country and this might add extra risks due to the political and health conditions globally and in Lebanon. 1- Make all the assumptions you need to plan the project using the following activities: Excavation, foundation, super structure, electro mechanical works,…arrow_forwardFour proposals are under consideration by your company. Proposals A and C are mutually exclusive; proposals B and D are mutually exclusive and cannot be implemented unless proposal A or C has been selected. No more than $140,000 can be spent at time zero. The before-tax MARR is 15% per year. The estimated cash flows are shown in the accompanying table. Form all mutually exclusive combinations in view of the specified contingencies, and formulate this problem as a linear integer programming model.arrow_forwardI need decision tree for Case IIarrow_forward

Each week of the project costs the same: your team members are paid a total of $4,000every week, and you need $2,000 worth of parts each week to do the work. If the project isscheduled to last 16 weeks, calculate theBAC, PV, EV, AC, SPI, SV, CPI, SPI, CV for the project? 2.You’re managing a highway construction project. Your total budget is $650,000, and there isa total of 7,500 hours of work scheduled on the project. You check with your accountingdepartment, and they tell you that you’ve spent a total of $400,000.

The facts are as follows: Number of days left on the contract time = 30 days. > At present the working force is: 40 skilled workers with a daily wage of P40 each 20 unskilled workers with a daily wage of P32 each > The daily wage is based on an 8-hour day's work. > If the maintains the present number of men he will finish the work in 50 days. Overtime rate is 25% more than regular rate. Analyze the following cases: Case 1: If he allows the present working force to work overtime of 2 hours a day, in how many days will he finish the work? How much are his savings or loss? Case 2: If the contractor puts additional men maintaining the ratio of two skilled workers to one unskilled worker in order to finish the work on time, how many will he add? Consider no overtime work. Case 3: Should the…arrow_forward
