QUESTION 13
(Please use at least four significant figures in your calculations.)
$60
S-curve Turntables
$160
Hullabaloo Records
$40
$260
S-Curve Turntables manufactures turntables, and sells them through Hullabaloo Records, a chain of specialty record stores. For a model
year, they will manufacture their newest model of turntable, called "Orbitz", which will be sold through the record stores. It costs $60 for S-
Curve to manufacture the turntables, which it then sells to Hullabaloo for $160. Hullabaloo Records then sells the turntables at retail for
$260. Whatever doesn't sell gets put on clearance for $40. Demand for the turntable is expected to be normally distributed with a mean of
1833 and a standard deviation of 1092.
What is the optimal order amount that will maximize the SUPPLY CHAIN'S expected profit?

- Question 4 Jetair was founded in September 2007 and is one of a growing number of low-cost airlines in the country of Salta. Jetair's strategy is to operate as a low-cost, high-efficiency airline, and it does this by: Operating mostly in secondary cities to reduce landing costs. ● Using only one type of aircraft in order to reduce maintenance and operational costs. These planes are leased rather than bought outright. Having only one category of seat class. Having no pre-allocated seats or in-flight entertainment. Focusing on e-commerce with customers, both booking tickets and checking in for flights online. The airline was given an 'on-time arrival' ranking of seventh best by the country's aviation authority, which ranks all 50 of the country's airlines based on the number of flights which arrive on time at their destinations. 48 Jetair flights were cancelled in 2013 compared to 35 in 2012.

The dealer can buy the painting today for $40,000 or can wait a day and buy the painting tomorrow (if it has not been sold) for $30,000. The dealer may also wait another day and buy the painting (if it is still available) for $26,000. At the end of the third day, the painting will no longer be available for sale. Each day, there is a 0.60 probability that the painting will be sold. Construct a decision tree and determine the strategy that will maximize the dealer's expected profit.arrow_forward
