- Seas Beginning sells clothing by mail order. An important question is when to strike a customer from the companys mailing list. At present, the company strikes a customer from its mailing list if a customer fails to order from six consecutive catalogs. The company wants to know whether striking a customer from its list after a customer fails to order from four consecutive catalogs results in a higher profit per customer. The following data are available: If a customer placed an order the last time she received a catalog, then there is a 20% chance she will order from the next catalog. If a customer last placed an order one catalog ago, there is a 16% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order two catalogs ago, there is a 12% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order three catalogs ago, there is an 8% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order four catalogs ago, there is a 4% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order five catalogs ago, there is a 2% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. It costs 2 to send a catalog, and the average profit per order is 30. Assume a customer has just placed an order. To maximize expected profit per customer, would Seas Beginning make more money canceling such a customer after six nonorders or four nonorders?3. The comptroller of Microsoft Corporation has $100 million of excess funds to invest. She has been introduced to invest the entire amount for one year in either stocks or bonds (but not both) and then to reinvest the entire fund in either stocks or bonds (but not both) for one year more. The objective is to maximize the expected monetary value of the fund at the end of the second year. The annual rates of return on these investments depend on the economic environment, as shown in the following table: Rate of Return Economic Environment Stocks Bonds Growth 20% 5% Recession -10% 10% Depression -50% 20% The probabilities of growth, recession, and depression for the first year are 0.7, 0.3, and 0, respectively. If growth occurs in the first year, these probabilities remain the same for the second year. However, if a recession occurs in the first year, these probabilities change to 0.2, 0.7, and 0.1, respectively, for the second year. Construct the decision tree for this problem and…A business student has $3,500 available from a summer job and has identified three potential stocks in which to invest.

Amount invested in stock B C. Return for each stock D. Amount invested in stock C E. Price of each stock C $25 $11 a. Identify the decision variables, objective function, and constraints in simple verbal expressions. Identify the decision variables. Select all that apply.
- Mono Industries has a project with the following projected cash flows: Initial Cost, Year 0: P200,000 Cash flow year one: P25,000 Cash flow year two: P75,000 Cash flow year three: P150,000 Cash flow year four: P150,000 Using a 10% discount rate for this project and the NPV model, should this project be accepted or rejected?Formulate an LP model for the following problems.1. Bernadette intends to invest up to ₱50,000 in either Best Fund, or a time deposit orboth. The Best Fund pays 8% per year and the time deposit pays 9%. Because theBest Fund is riskier than the time deposit, so she intends to put at most ₱30,000 intothe time deposit and at least ₱10,000 into the Best Fund. How much should she allotto each investment in order to maximize her returns?The Fairwinds Development Corporation is considering taking part in one or more different development projects-A, B, and C-that are about to be launched. Each project requires a significant investment over the next few years and then would be sold upon completion. The projected cash flows (in millions of dollars) associated with each project are shown in the table below. Year Project A Project B Project C 1 -8 -9 -13 -10 -10 -10 -12 -7 -9 40 -9 -9 5 46 -7 6 62 Fairwinds has $18 million cash on hand now and also expects to receive $8 million in other income at the start of each year (year 1 through year 6) that would also be available for investments (therefore, a total of $26 million is available for projects in year 1). Assume that money not spent in a given year is available in future years, and also earns 1% interest. For example, if the ending balance in year 1 is $1 million, then $1.01 million will be available for projects at the start of year 2, along with the $8 million from…
- A food company is considering three different salad dressings to introduce nationally, Dressing A, B, and C. They also have the option to not introduce any dressing this year. The profits from dressings A, B, and C are $1,144,712, $1,515,938, and $2,525,542 respectively if the national market is favorable. However, if the national market is unfavorable, the losses are $555,615, $758,875, and $912,435 respectively. Historical data shows a probability of 0.568 for a favorable national market. The company can test the market for salad dressings in selected geographic areas before introducing them nationally. The cost of the test market is $53,331. In the past, the probability of a negative test market was 0.354. Given a positive test market, a favorable national market was actually observed with a probability of 0.745. Given a negative test market, a favorable national market was actually observed with a probability of 0.304. Determine if the company should test the market before…Managing a Portfolio. A local bank wants to build a bond portfolio from a set of five bonds with $1 million available for investment. The expected annual return, the worst-case annual return on each bond, and the “duration” of each bond are given in the following table. (The duration of a bond is a measure of the bond’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.)Expected Return Worst Case Return DurationBond 1 12.5% 8.0% 8Bond 2 11.5% 7.5% 7Bond 3 10.5% 6.8% 6Bond 4 9.5% 7.0% 5Bond 5 8.5% 7.4% 3The bank wants to maximize the expected return from its bond investments, subject to three conditions: The average worst-case return for the portfolio must be at least 7.2 percent.The average duration of the portfolio must be at most 6.Because of diversification requirements, at most 40 percent of the total amount invested can be invested in a single bond.What is the maximum return on the $1 million investment? How should the investment be…Unidyde is considering expansion of its Fort Myers plant to produce a new chemical compound. The company is evaluating three different expansion plans: Minor, moderate, or major. They can, of course, also do nothing. Long-term profitability will be a function of future demand growth for the chemical compound. The following payoff table gives the present worth future profitability (in $1,000's) estimated by Unidyde management: Demand Growth for Chemical Compound High Medium Low Do Nothing Minor 140 120 120 Expansion Moderate Major 150 220 -260 250 100 -450 1. What is Unidyde's optimal decision if it wishes to minimize its maximum regret? 2. What is Unidyde's optimal decision if it uses the equal likely criteria? 3. Suppose Unidyde estimates the following probabilities hold for demand growth of the chemical compound: P(High Growth) =.20 P(Medium Growth) = .40 P(Low Growth) What is the most that Unidyde should pay for sample information regarding the compound's future growth? (Hint:…
- Sachs Brands's defined benefit pension plan specifies annual retirement benefits equal to 1.5% × service years × final year's salary, payable at the end of each year. Angela Davenport was hired by Sachs at the beginning of 2007 and is expected to retire at the end of 2041 after 35 years' service. Her retirement is expected to span 18 years. Davenport's salary is $83,000 at the end of 2021 and the company's actuary projects her salary to be $245,000 at retirement. The actuary's discount rate is 9%.
