13.12 You work for Bellevue Window Products. While performing an analysis for a new window prod- uct, you found a report from last year that pro- vided the following information regarding the manufacture of a similar product: annual produc- tion rate T 40,000 units; selling price = $70 per unit; fixed production cost = $240,000 per year; variable production cost = $1,700,000 per year; variable selling expenses = $96,000 per year. As a first-cut, you decide to use this information to estimate (a) the breakeven production rate per year, (b) the company's profit last year, and (c) the annual production rate that would generate a profit of $1,000,000 per year.

A decision has been made to perform certain repairs on the outlet works of a small dam. For a particular 36-inch gate valve, there are three available alternatives: A. Leave the valve as it is. B. Repair the valve. C. Replace the valve. If the valve is left as it is, the probability of a failure of the valve seats, over the life of the project, is 60%; the probability of failure of the valve stem is 50%; and of failure of the valve body is 40%. If the valve is repaired, the probability of a failure of the seats, over the life of the project, is 40%; of failure of the stem is 30%; and of failure of the body is 20%. If the valve is replaced, the probability of a failure of the seats, over the life of the project, is 30%; of failure of the stem is 20%; and of failure of the body is 10%. The present worth of cost of future repairs and service disruption of a failure of the seats is $10,000; the present worth of cost of a failure of the stem is $20,000; the present worth of cost of a…
