- An online retailer specializing in custom dog toys is considering launching brick-and-mortar stores in Upstate South Carolina. They have an opportunity to open a spot on Woodruff Road in Greenville, South Carolina next month at an upfront cost of $50,000. They believe this location has a 60% chance of success and a 40% chance of failure. If the location is successful, then it will bring the company a total of $350,000 in net profits over its lifetime. If the location is unsuccessful, then it will lose the company an additional $100,000. Complicating the Woodruff Road location decision is the fact that the company has identified an additional location in downtown Clemson. They do not need to decide on opening this additional location now; they need to decide in about 11 months whether to open it 12 months from now. The Clemson location has an upfront cost of $30,000. Without any additional information, the company believes it has a 70% of success and a 30% chance of failure. If…arrow_forwardFirst Securities, Inc., an investment firm, has $380,000 on account. The chief investment officer would like to reinvest the $380,000 in a portfolio that would maximize return on investment while at the same time maintaining a relatively conservative mix of stocks and bonds. The following table shows the investment opportunities and rates of return. Investment Opportunity Rate of Return Municipal Bonds (X1) 0.095 High Tech Stock (X2) 0.146 Blue Chip Stock (X3) 0.075 Federal Bonds (X4) 0.070 a) The Board of Directors has mandated that at least 60 percent of the investment consist of a combination of municipal and federal bonds, at least 25 percent Blue Chip Stock, no more than 30 percent High Tech and Blue Chip Stock, and no more than 15 percent High Tech Stock. Based on above problem, how many constraints are in this problem? A) 3 B) 4 C) 5 D) 2 b) Based on part a, which of the…arrow_forwardYou are a bitcoin trader.

- A machine shop owner is thinking of expanding his operations. He has 3 options: a drill press, a lathe, and a grinder. The return on investment for each tool is largely determined by whether the company wins a government military contract. The profit and loss for each purchase and the probabilities associated with each contract outcome are shown in the payoff table below: Purchase Contract 0.40 No Contract 0.60 Drill Press $40,000 ($8,000) Lathe $20,000 $4,000 Grinder $12,000 $10,000 Part 1) Compute for the expected value of each alternative and select the best option.arrow_forwardYou and two other people are to place bids for an object, with the high bid winning. If you win, you plan to sell the object immediately for 10,000.(a) How much should you bid to maximize your expected profit if you believe that the bids of the others can be regarded as being independent and uniformly distributed between 7,000 and 10,000?(b) How much should you bid to maximize your expected profit if you believe that the bids of the others can be regarded as identical and uniformly distributed between 7,000 and 10,000?arrow_forwardFollowing is the payoff table for the Pittsburgh Development Corporation (PDC) Condominium Project. Amounts are in millions of dollars. State of Nature Decision Alternative Strong Demand S1 Weak Demand S2 Small complex, d1 9 8 Medium complex, d2 13 3 Large complex, d3 19 -9 Suppose PDC is optimistic about the potential for the luxury high-rise condominium complex and that this optimism leads to an initial subjective probability assessment of 0.8 that demand will be strong (S1) and a corresponding probability of 0.2 that demand will be weak (S2). Assume the decision alternative to build the large condominium complex was found to be optimal using the expected value approach. Also, a sensitivity analysis was conducted for the payoffs associated with this decision alternative. It was found that the large complex remained optimal as long as the payoff for the strong demand was greater than or equal to $16 million and as long as the payoff for the weak demand was greater…arrow_forward
- XYZ Manufaturing company has hired a new VP (D.A.King) for managing capacity investment decisions. Mr. King reviews the situation after he comes on board and decides that he can invest in Batch manufacturing, Custom manufacturing or Group technology. Mr. King will not be able to forecast demand accurately till after the technology choices are made. Demand will be classified into four scenarios: poor, fair, good and excellent. The table below indicates the payoffs for each combination of technology choice and demand scenario. POOR FAIR GOOD EXCELLENT PROBABILITY 0.1 0.4 0.3 0.2 Batch - $200,000 $1,000,000 $1,200,000 $1,300,000 Custom $100,000 $300,000 $700,000 $800,000 Group Technology - $1,000,000 -$500,000 $500,000 $2,000,000 1.What is the expected monetary value of choosing the Group Technology option? 2.What is the expected monetary value of choosing the Batchoption? 3What is the BEST decision based on…arrow_forwardA store manager observes that the morale of employees in her supermarket is low. She thinks that if their working conditions are improved, pay scales rose, and the vacation benefits made more attractive, the morale will be boosted. She doubts, however, if an increase in pay scales would raise the morale of all employees. Her conjecture is that those who have supplemental incomes will just not be “turned on” by higher pay, and only those without side incomes will be happy with increased pay, with a resultant boost in morale Based on the scenario presented, answer the following questions: A) Identify the Independent, Dependent, Moderating, and Mediating Variables. Also provide justification for your choice. B) Create a schematic diagram (i.e., conceptual framework) that depicts the relationships among the variables. C) Based on the above conceptual framework develops at least four alternate hypotheses.arrow_forwardAs these researchers state, “Robbing a bank is the staple crime of thrillers, movies and newspapers. But . . . bank robbery is not all it is cracked up to be.” The researchers concentrated on the factors that determine the amount of proceeds from bank robberies, and thus were able to work out both the economics of attempting one and of preventing one. In particular, the researchers revealed that the return on an average bank robbery per person per raid is modest indeed—so modest that it is not worthwhile for the banks to spend too much money on such preventative measures as fast-rising screens at tellers’ windows. The researchers obtained exclusive data from the British Bankers’ Association. In one aspect of their study, they analyzed the data from a sample of 364 bank raids over a several-year period in the United Kingdom. The following table repeats a portion of Table 1 on page 19 of the article. ariable Mean standar deviation Amount stolen (pounds sterling) 20,330.50 53,510,2…arrow_forward

From his 20 years of experience in making these requests, he has deduced that his chances of getting between 50 and 74 percent of his budget approved are twice as good as those of getting between 75 and 99 percent approved, and two and one-half times as good as those of getting between 25 and 49 percent approved. Further, the general believes that there is no chance of less than 25 percent of his budget being approved. Finally, the entire budget has been approved only once during the general’s tenure, and the general does not expect this pattern to change. What are the probabilities of 0–24 percent, 25–49 percent, 50–74 percent, 75–99 percent, and 100 percent approval, according to the general?arrow_forwardSuppose that you watch the game show over many years and find that door #1 hides the car 50% of the time, door #2 has the car 40% of the time, and door #3 has the car 10% of the time.
