- a) For an upcoming red carpet evening, a company is selling tickets at $60 per person at a large theatre which has a capacity of 10,000 people. Each attendant is expected to buy $12 of food and merchandise at the film evening. The cost of providing the food and merchandise is estimated to be $5 per person. All other ancillary services will be provided by the theatre. Initial analysis indicates that the ancillary cost of providing food and merchandise, as well as the staff needed to handle ticket sales, may be described as a semi-variable cost. Data on these costs and tickets sold from three similar events held at the venue have been collected and are tabulated below: Tickets Sold Cost ($) 2100 6640 3824 11284 4650 13525 Use the high-low method to estimate the total cost function relating to these ancillary costs. b) The company will be renting the theatre which will host the upcoming red carpet evening.

You have contracted to supply a national retail chain with all three models of nailers. However, Brad's nailer production capability is limited in three departments: production, testing, and packaging. The goal is to maximize your revenue. Your answer will be the number packaging hours to be produced (The number of nailers must be a whole number.) Use Scenario 2arrow_forwardA manager is trying to decide whether to buy one machine ortwo. If only one machine is purchased and demand provesto be excessive, the second machine can be purchased later.Some sales would be lost, however, because the lead timefor delivery of this type of machine is 6 months. In addition,the cost per machine will be lower if both machines are pur-chased at the same time. The probability of low demand isestimated to be 0.30 and that of high demand to be 0.70. Theafter-tax NPV of the benefits from purchasing two machinestogether is $90,000 if demand is low and $170,000 if demandis high.If one machine is purchased and demand is low, the NPV is$120,000. If demand is high, the manager has three options:(1) doing nothing, which has an NPV of $120,000; (2) subcon-tracting, with an NPV of $140,000; and (3) buying the secondmachine, with an NPV of $130,000.a.
