* 00 R 品 Miles is considering buying a new pickup truck for his lawn service firm. The economy in town seems to be growing, and he is wondering whether he should opt for a subcompact, compact, or full-size pickup truck. The smaller truck would have better fuel economy, but would sacrifice capacity and some durability. A friend at the Bureau of Economic Research told him that there is a 30% chance of lower gas prices in his area this year, a 20% chance of higher gas prices, and a 50% chance that gas prices will stay roughly unchanged. Based on this information, Miles has developed a decision table that indicates the profit amount he would end up with after a year for each combination of truck and gas prices.

Please show all work and explain answer. OneRing Company sells memorabilia to residents of Middle-Earth. They are about to invest $6 million in a new ring making plant.   Fixed costs of operating the plant are $1 million a year. The ring costs $60/unit to manufacture (variable cost) and will be sold for $200/unit. The plant will last for 5 years, and will be depreciated over 5 years to zero using the straight-line method. The plant will have no salvage value after five years.   Net working capital requirements are negligible for this project. Assume there are no taxes in Middle-Earth, and that the appropriate discount rate for the project is ten percent.   How many rings per year must OneRing sell in order to break even?

Green Gardens' owner has asked your advice about a possible problem at his business.  Over the last 6 months the large-sized lawn and garden inventory (ie, tables, chairs, planters, etc.) has appeared to be short.  The inventory records that employees use to determine what is on hand show that more inventory is available than can actually be located.  This has cause frustration and mis-trust in the inventory records for the sales employees.  The owner realizes that the problem is bigger than just frustrated employees.  He is afraid that inventory is being stolen, a problem he didn't think possible given that these are large items that are not easily moved. Requirements:  Provide the owner with two internal controls that he could implement to reduce the likelihood of theft of the lawn and garden inventory.
