A defense department assigned its highest priority to develop an advanced aircraft using materials not previously used and untested technologies. A firm fixed-price contract was awarded to a qualified vendor. Controls were in place at all levels, and progress reports-noting challenges-were sent to top officials. Top officials reported that progress was excellent, but the project failed due to enormous expenditures with no aircraft developed. Which risks were not adequately considered?
1. Because the requirements were not specific, the use of a firm fixed-price contract made the project risky.
II. The personnel at many levels sent false reports forward on cost incurred and progress made.
III. The contractor lacked adequate technical skills to deal with technology that was still evolving.
IV. Top procurement officials did not act on "red flags" due to a "can do" mentality on a high priority of the program.

- A mortgage company classifies its borrowers into three categories: Low Risk, Medium Risk, and High Risk. From experience, the company knows that: • 2% of low risk borrowers eventually default on their mortgages. • 6% of medium risk borrowers eventually default on their mortgages. 13% of high risk borrowers eventually default on their mortgages. The mortgages for 132 high risk borrowers are put together into one portfolio. The company determines that they will profit on the portfolio as long as no more than 19% of borrowers with mortgages in the portfolio default. What is the probability that the company makes a profit on the portfolio?

- The foreman in the welding department wanted to know what value of allowance to use for a particular section of the shop. A work sampling study was authorized. Only two activity categories were considered: (1) welding and other productive work, (2) personal time, rest breaks and delays. Over a four-week period, where there are 40 hours per week, 161 observations are made at random times. Each observation captured the category of activity of each of 12 welders in the shop section of interest. Results indicated that category 2 constituted 17 % of the total observations. (a) Can you conclude that realized PFD is 17 % in the factory at 100*(1-0.02) % confidence level with 7% precision? (b) If a total of 88 work units were produced during the 4 weeks, and all category 1 activity was devoted to producing these units, what was the average time spent on each unit?arrow_forwardActivity-Based Costing and Customer Profitability Metroid Electric manufactures power distribution equipment for commercial customers, such as hospitals and manufacturers.
