Howard Weiss, Inc., is considering building a sensitive new radiation
scanning device. His managers believe that there is a probability of 0.6 that
the ATR Co. will come out with a competitive product. If Weiss adds an
assembly line for the product and ATR Co. does not follow with a
competitive product, Weiss's expected profit is $40,000; if Weiss adds an
assembly line and ATR follows suit, Weiss still expects $10,000 profit. If
Weiss adds a new plant addition and ATR does not produce a competitive
product, Weiss expects a profit of $600,000; if ATR does compete for this
market, Weiss expects a loss of $100,000.
What is the best decision based on expected monetary value (EMV)? What
are the EMV and the expected value of perfect information (EVPI)?
The best decision is to select the new plant with the EMV of $320,000 and the
EVPI is $364,000.
The best decision is to select the assembly line with the EMV of $180,000 and the
EVPI is $66,000.
The best decision is to select the assembly line…
Howard Weiss, Inc., is considering building a sensitive new radiation scanning device. His managers believe that there is a
probability of 0.35 that the ATR Co. will come out with a competitive product. If Weiss adds an assembly line for the product and ATR Co. does not follow with a competitive product, Weiss's expected profit is $50,000; if Weiss adds an assembly
line and ATR follows suit, Weiss still expects $20,000 profit. If Weiss adds a new plant addition and ATR does not produce a competitive product, Weiss expects a profit of $600,000; if ATR does compete for this market, Weiss expects a loss of
$120,000.

- Sun TV sells TV sets. It does not sell smart TVs so customers do not come to Sun TV if they want to purchase smart TVs. Sun TV wants to start selling smart TVs and will only sell smart TVs to customers to whom they advertise. Managers use customer information (income level, previous purchase history) to decide which customers they should target. The team needs to decide how sure it must be in predicting customer interest in a smart TV. If it is too cautious, it will choose a very high cutoff probability and only market to customers who it believes are very likely to be in the market for a smart TV. This may cause them to miss out on many customers. If they are too aggressive and choose a low cutoff probability, they may identify more individuals interested in buying smart TVs but also end up wasting marketing dollars on customers who are not interested in purchasing smart TVs. To choose a cutoff probability, the team develops the confusion matrices below for two cutoff probabilities on…arrow_forwardHow would you go about calculating the likelihood of a "super-event" or a "unique event?"

The component’s purchase price, $0.90, compared favorably with the standard price of $1.10. Given the quantity that would be purchased, Pat knew that the favorable price variance would help to offset an unfavorable variance for another component. By offsetting the unfavorable variance, his overall performance report would be impressive and good enough to help him qualify for the annual bonus. More importantly, a good performance rating this year would help him to secure a position at division headquarters at a significant salary increase. Purchase of the part, however, presented Pat with a dilemma. Consistent with his past behavior, Pat made inquiries regarding the reliability of the new supplier and the part’s quality. Reports were basically negative. The supplier had a reputation for making the first two or three deliveries on…arrow_forward
