Question
An Insurance Company is introducing two new product lines: special risk insurance
and mortgages. The expected profit is $5 per unit on special risk insurance and $2 per unit on
mortgages. Management wishes to establish sales quotas for the new product lines to
maximize total expected profit. The work requirements are as follows:
- Should the company consider acquiring an additional 500 hours for the Underwriting
department at a cost of $2 per hour, and why?
- Based on the sensitivity report, can you determine the increase or decrease in profit if 100
work hours were transferred from Administration to Underwriting? If not, how you would be
able to find the profit change in such a scenario.
