A five-year project requires an investment of -112 and has the following cash flows in years 1 through 5, respectively (all cash
flows in dollars): 48, 88, 34, 15, and 52. Find the difference between the Cauchy upper bound and the Cauchy lower bound. Write
your answer as a percentage with two decimals; e.g., 23.55% but do not write the % sign. (Acceptable error = 0.50%)
The tree diagram in the shown Figure describes the uncertain cash flows for an engineering project. The analysis period is two years, and MARR = 15% per year. Based on this information, Solve, a. What are the E(PW), V(PW), and SD(PW) of the project? b. What is the probability that PW ≥ 0?

- A company makes parts that cost $35.00 in material and labor. 92% of the parts are produced defect free and are sold for full price at $110 each. 2% of the parts made must be scrapped. Scrap parts are sold for $8.00 each. The remaining 6% of the parts made must be reworked at a cost of $12.00 each. After rework 1% still must be scrapped and the other 5% is sold at a discounted price of $90 each. a. Draw the tree diagram showing the quality cost situation. b. Determine the earnings per part. c. Determine the cost of poor quality (COPQ). d. Determine the earnings per part and COPQ if the rework operation was shut down and the parts that required reworking were just sold for scrap instead.
