1. Victor's Jewelers sells watches for R500 each. During the next month, they estimate that they will sell 15, 25, 35, or 45 watches. They can only buy watches in lots of ten from their dealer, where 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 watches cost R400, R390, R370, R360, and R340 per watch respectively. Every month, Victor has a clearance sale and will get rid of any unsold watches for R240 (watches are only in style for a month and so they have to buy the latest model each month). Any customer that comes in during the month to buy a watch, but is unable to, costs Victor R60 in lost goodwill. Set-up the payoff matrix for this problem.

A company manufactures Products A, B, and C. Each product is processed in three departments: I, II, and III. The total available labor-hours per week for Departments I, II, and III are 1020, 1080, and 900, respectively. The time requirements (in hours per unit) and the profit per unit for each product are as follows. Product A Product B Product C Dept. I 2 1 2 Dept. II 3 1 2 Dept. II 2 2 1 Profit $18 $12 $15 If management decides that the number of units of Product B manufactured must equal or exceed the number of units of products A and C manufactured, how many units of each product should the company produce to maximize its profit?
Problem 1. During your first month as an employee at Greenfield Industries (a large drill-bitmanufacturer), you are asked to evaluate alternatives for producing a newly designed drill bit on aturning machine. Your boss’ memorandum to you has practically no information about what thealternatives are and what criteria should be used. The same task was posed to a previous employeewho could not finish the analysis, but she has given you the following information: An old turningmachine valued at $350,000 exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified for the new drill bit.The in-house technicians have given an estimate of $40,000 to modify this machine, and they assureyou that they will have the machine ready before the projected start date (although they havenever done any modifications of this type). It is hoped that the old turning machine will be able tomeet production requirements at full capacity. An outside company, McDonald Inc., made themachine seven years ago and can easily do the…
Assume that a product sells for $100 per ton and thatPittsburgh is the basing-point city for calculating transportation charges. Shipping from Pittsburgh to a potentialcustomer in Cincinnati costs $10 per ton. The actual shipping costs of suppliers in three other cities are $8 per tonfor Supplier A, $11 per ton for Supplier B, and $10 per tonfor Supplier C. Using this information, answer the followingquestions:a. What delivered price would a salesperson for Supplier Aquote to the Cincinnati customer?b. What delivered price would a salesperson for Supplier Bquote to the Cincinnati customer?c. What delivered price would a salesperson for Supplier Cquote to the Cincinnati customer?d. How much would each supplier net (after subtractingactual shipping costs) per ton on the sale?
A town is endowed with an oil reserve. The total stock of oil from the reserve is 110 barrels. The townmust sell all 110 barrels within two time periods, so the quantity extracted will be q1 + q2 = 110, whereq1, for example, is the quantity extracted in period 1. The price per barrel that the town can sell theoil for is pt= 150 −10/11 qt in each period. There is a constant cost of extraction c = 50, such that theresource rent earned by each barrel in each period is πt= pt−c. If the interest rate is 20%, how muchoil will the town extract in period 1 and in period 2 (what should q1 and q2 be) if it wanted to extractefficiently (i.e. maximize profits)?
Johnson Controls spent more than $2.5 millionretrofitting a government complex and installing acomputerized energy-management system for theState of Massachusetts. As a result, the state’s energybill dropped from an average of $6 million a yearto $3.5 million. Moreover, both parties will benefitfrom the 10-year life of the contract. Johnson recovers half the money it saved in reduced utility costs(about $1.2 million a year over 10 years); Massachusetts has more money to spend on other things. Whatis the rate of return realized by Johnson Controls inthis energy-control system?

The BCY Corporation provides accounting services to a wide variety of customers, most ofwhom have had a business association with BCY for more than five years.BCY's demand is: P = 24,000 – 20Q, and BCY's marginal cost of service is: MC = 40Q.a. If BCY charges a uniform price for a unit of accounting service, Q, what price must itcharge per unit, and how many units must it produce per time period in order to maximizeprofit? Calculate the consumer surplus.b. If BCY could enforce first-degree price discrimination, what would be the lowest pricethat it would charge and how many units would it produce per time period?c. With perfect price discrimination and ignoring any fixed cost, what is total profit andwhat is the amount of consumer surplus?
Address the following: a) Suppose that the allocation of a natural resource during three years results in a stream of total surplus value of $100 per period t (i.e.: t = 0; 1; 2). Obtain the present value of this stream when the discount rate is r = 0.10 and also when it is r = 0.05. b) Alternatively, the resource could be fully extracted now (say, in the period t = 0), resulting in a total surplus $280 at t = 0 and 0 in every future period. Is this immediate extraction strategy preferred to the extraction strategy described in (a) when r = 0.10? What about when r = 0.05? What does this tell us about the intuitive meaning of discounting regarding intertemporal preferences c) Explain what it means that a resource allocation is dynamically efficient

To automate one of its production processes, theMilwaukee Corporation bought three flexible manufacturing cells at a price of $400,000 each. Whenthey were delivered, Milwaukee paid freight chargesof $20,000 and handling fees of $15,000. Site preparation for these cells cost $45,000. Six foremen, eachearning $20 an hour, worked five 40-hour weeks toset up and test the manufacturing cells. Special wiring and other materials applicable to the new manufacturing cells cost $3,500. Determine the cost basis(amount to be capitalized) for these cells.
