Geoff hesitated as he read the fast food menu, unsure whether he should supersize his order of delicious golden French fries. Do

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Geoff's target service level is 0.76

Explanation:

Doing so would expand his expense from $0.99 to $1.59 and could very well give him the sustenance he expected to endure the second 50% of his day at the workplace. Obviously, in the event that he completed his cheeseburger and the typical measure of fries, he would essentially discard the additional ones. In any case, on the off chance that he neglected to supersize his request, he would need to take a confection break mid-evening and they weren't actually offering them away in the reprieve room candy machines. He would probably require two pieces of candy, which sold for $0.95 each.

An appliance dealer must decide how many (if any) new microwave ovens to order for next month. The ovens cost $220 and sell for

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

Order 0: we have unsold items for which the return is -25

return is -25*(.4*1+.2*2+.1*3) = -25*1.1 = $-27.50

Order 1: we have to sell at a discount if no orders, otherwise sell 1, and unsold items if demand 2 or 3

return is .3*(1/2*300-220) + (1-.3)*(300-220) + -.25*(.2*1+.1*2) = .3*-70+.7*80+-25*(.4) =

-21 + 56 - 10 = $25

Order 2: we have to sell at a discount if 0 or 1 orders, sell 1 or 2, and unsold items if demand 3

return is (.3*2+.4*1)*(1/2*300-220)+(.4*1+(.2+.1)*2)*(300-220)+-25*.1 =1*-70+1*80-25*.1 =

-70 + 80 - 2.5 = $7.50

Order 3:

return is (.3*3+.4*2+.2*1)*(1/2*300-220)+(.4*1+.2*2+.1*3)*(300-220) = 1.9*-70 + 1.1*80 =

-133 + 88 = -$45

Order 1, with a return of $25, as this is the highest return.

b) If we had a perfect information, we would never pay a penalty for underordering or suffer a discounted return from over-ordering

(.4*1+.2*2+.1*3)*(300-220) = 1.1*80 = $88

Then, the value of perfect information is $88 - $25 = $63

P(D=3|N) = 0

If the result of the survey is an F, we have

P(D=0|F) = 3/26

P(D=1|F) = 4/13

P(D=2|F) = 3/13

P(D=3|F) = 9/26

If the order is 0, the return is -25*(1*4/13+2*3/13+3*9/26) = -25*47/26 = -1175/26 = -$45.19

If the order is 1, the return is 3/26*-70+(1-3/26)*80+-25*(1*3/13+2*9/26) = 515/13 = $39.62

If the order is 2, the return is (3/26*2+4/13)*-70+(1*4/13+2*(3/13+9/26))*80 + -25*9/26 =

1835/26 = $70.58

If the order is 3, the return is (3/26*3+4/13*2+3/13)*-70+(1*4/13+2*3/13+3*9/26)*80 =

795/13 = $61.15

We should order 2.

P(D=0|U) = 8/13

P(D=1|U) = 4/13

P(D=2|U) = 2/39

P(D=3|U) = 1/39

If we order 0, the return is (4/13*1+2/39*2+1/39*3)*-25 = -475/39 = -$12.18

If the order is 1, the return is 8/13*-70+(1-8/13)*80+-25*(1*2/39+2*1/39) =-580/39= -14.87

If the order is 2, the return is (8/13*2+4/13)*-70+(1*4/13+2*(2/39+1/39))*80 + -25*1/39 =

-2785/39= -$71.41

If the order is 3, the return is (8/13*3+4/13*2+2/39*1)*-70+(1*4/13+2*2/39+3*1/39)*80 =

-1780/13 = -$136.92

Order 0

P(D=0|N) = 3/35

P(D=1|N) = 4/7

P(D=2|N) = 12/35

P(D=3|N) = 0

If we order 0, the return is (4/7*1+12/35*2)*-25 = -220/7 = -$31.43

If the order is 1, the return is 3/35*-70+(1-3/35)*80+-25*(1*12/35) = 410/7 = $58.57

If the order is 2, the return is (3/35*2+4/7)*-70+(1*4/7+2*12/35)*80 = 340/7 = $48.57

We don't order 3, as the probability of 3 is 0

we order 1

We order 2 if there is an F, 0 if there is an N, and 1 if there is a U.

d) P(F) = .26

P(N) = .39

P(U) = .35

Then, the expected return is .26*1835/26 +-475/39*.39 + 410/7*.35 = $34.10

Since we make $25 if we just take 1, we should pay up to $34.10-$25 = $9.10 for the survey.

Len [333]

Answer:

c. Outsource to a third party

Explanation:

From the given following methods she should use <u>outsource to a third party</u> for managing the shortage of talent because as outsource to a third party generally means that the company will give the contract of their work to any third party they wish.

A firm pays Pam $40 per hour to assemble personal computers. Each day, Pam can assemble 4 computers if she works 1 hour, 7 compu

kherson [118]

Answer:

$1,840

Explanation:

In order to calculate the Marginal cost of producing the computers in 2nd hour of work, we need to add the marginal cost of computer and marginal cost of wage in the 2nd hour of work.

MC = MC(computers) + MC(wage)

MC = $1,800(w) + $40

MC = $1,840

Working

MC (computers ) = 3 x 600$ = $1,800

hour computers assembled

1st 4

2nd 7

If pam works 2 hours she can assemble 7 computers but she already assembled 4 computers in 1st hour.

So the 2nd-hour computers will be 3 ( 7 - 4) computers.
