Jacqueline Mulvaney makes bespoke corsages. She is about to attend an important show in London. She thinks that if the market is favorable, she can sell deluxe corsages at $75 each. However, if the market is not good, she will only sell 35 at $65 each. Jacqueline also makes a simple-range of corsages. If the market is positive, she can sell 80 simple corsages at $45 each, whereas if the market is not good, she will only sell 60 at $38 each. To produce either set of corsages costs about the same and she only has time to make one range. If Jacqueline feels that there is a 0.5 chance of the show going well, which range of corsages should she make based on the EMV?

Rebecca Kaplan, who operates 3 points
family-owned Glazer's
Camera, in Seattle,
Washington, with her brother,
Ari Lackman, shuns traditional
discounts because the profit
margins on the photographic
equipment the store sells are
too slim to offer price
reductions. Instead, Glazer's
Camera offers customers
limited discounts by bundling
cameras with high-end
accessories, such as tripods,
lenses, and camera bags, at
special prices. To differentiate
their store from competitors,
Kaplan and Lackman invest in
training their staff and offer
special services, such as in-
store photography classes.

- A restaurant uses 100 per week or 5,000 quart bottles of ketchup each year. The ketchup costs $3.00 per bottle and is served only in whole bottles because its taste quickly deteriorates. The restaurant figures that it costs $10.00 each time an order is placed, and holding costs are 20 percent of the purchase price. It takes 3 weeks for an order to arrive. The restaurant operates 50 weeks per year. The restaurant would like to use an inventory system that minimizes inventory cost.

The item is purchased in boxes each containing 10 units of the item, at a price of €400 per box. The cost of holding an item in inventory for a year (including insurance, interest and space costs) is 10% of the purchase price. The cost of placing and receiving orders is to be estimated from cost data collected relating to similar orders, where costs of €7,000 were incurred on 25 orders. It should be assumed that ordering costs change in proportion to the number of orders placed. 5% should be added to the above ordering costs to allow for inflation. Assume that usage of the item will be even over the year.

The production cost of the product is $130 per unit, and the product will be sold to the customers at $160 per unit. The demand of the product during a selling season is normally distributed with mean 1000 and standard deviation 300. At the end of the selling season, any unsold quantity can be disposed of in a clearance sale for $80 per unit. In order to reach the required standard imposed by an ethical and sustainable supplier certification program, ABC must improve its corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance. ABC is considering two possible investments that enable it to meet the required standard. These investments will lead to a higher CSR level, which will result in greater market demand. Investment 1 has a lump-sum cost of $2000, and it will increase the mean and standard deviation of the demand by 100 units and 20 units, respectively. Investment 2 has a lump-sum cost of $3000, and it will increase the…arrow_forwardi do not know why my answers are incorrectarrow_forward
