Optimistic, Yo
$-10,000
4,000
11,000

(a) Calculate the means and standard deviations of the cash flow for each year.
(b) Assume MARR-15%, find the the mean and standard deviation of the net present
value. (Assume the cash flows are completely independent.)
In a project you are managing if you estimated the optimistic (a), most likely(m) and pessimistic (b)times for activity B to be 5, 8 and 10 days respectively then the best estimate for the meaning of activity B is?
a.7.67
b. 7.83

plans are underway for a new stadium for a baseball team. City officials question the number and profitability of the luxury corporate boxes planned for the upper deck of the stadium. Corporations and selected individuals may purchase a box for $300,00. The fixed construction cost for the upper deck area is estimated to be $4,500,000, with a variable cost of $150,000 for each box constructed.
a. What is the breakeven point for the number of luxury boxes in the new stadium?

An electric vehicle (EV) can be purchased for $40,000 and has a running cost of $0.20 per km. Alternatively, a (petrol) combustion vehicle (CV) can purchased for $25,000 and has a running cost of $0.45 per km. The student is determined to make a decision which minimises the total cost depending on the number of kilometres that the vehicle will be used. (Here you should assume that the running costs also account for periodic costs such as mainte- nance, insurance, registration.) (a) Describe the decision and environment variables associated with this problem. (b) Determine the utility function R(D, X) which maps the outcomes to the total cost incurred.
