A 6-foot sub valued at $25 is divided among five players (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5) using the last diminisher method. The players play in a fixed order, with P1 first, P2 second, and so on. In round 1, P1 makes the first cut and makes a claim on a C-piece. For each of the remaining players, the value of the current C-piece at the time it is their turn is given in the following table: Player 2 Player 3 Player 4 Player 5 Value of current C-piece $3.50 $7.00 $6.50 $4.00 Which player gets his or her share at the end of round 1? What is the value of the share to the player receiving it? Player 4, value $5.00. O b Player 4, value $6.50. Player 3, value $5.00. Od Player 3, value $7.00.

India’s Tata Motors was moving forward with a strategy focused on small inexpensive cars, even though this was a highly competitive market segment, dominated by Japanese auto makers. The company’s aim was to design a small car that would be significantly cheaper to make and buy than any other model, and thus to satisfy India’s mass market demand for low – cost transportation. The result was the Nano, with a sales price of 100, 000 rupees (US$2,500), which was half the price of its closest competitor in India. Tata Motors achieved this by designing everything from scratch, deleting features that were taken for granted by other auto makers (for example air conditioning, power brakes, radios), using lightweight steel and an aluminium engine, and building in fuel efficiency. Being the part of such a large TATA group is itself a competitive advantage. This affiliation provides the company with the needed knowledge and technology resources for taking their business to various parts of the…
A-Z Technologies, a manufacturer of amplified pressure transducers, is trying to decide between a dual-speed and a variable-speed machine. The engineers are not sure about the salvage value of the variable speed machine, so they have asked several different used-equipment dealers for estimates. The results can be summarized as follows: there is a 35% chance of getting $18,000, a 41% chance of getting $24,000, and a 13% chance of getting $29,000. Also, there is an 11% chance that the company may have to pay $5000 to dispose of the equipment. Calculate the expected salvage value.

A week before delivery, the customer indicated that it could only take 600 of the 800 items. Because of the long-standing relationship MFMI decided to accept this revised arrangement and mandate the sales team to sell the remaining 200 items in the market for at least $7000 per item. At the end of the period the sales team reported to management that they have identified buyers who were willing to purchase the 200 items at a rate of $6100 per item and at the management’s preferred price only 140 of the 200 would be sold. Assumed that the sale team is correct, determine the quantity that would be sold if management agreed to a 5% reduction in their original price. Based on your response to part (ii), describe the type of demand for this item. 2. Assumes that the firm retools, would it make an accounting profit if the additional 200 units relating to this…

"A financial investor has $31,000 to invest. The choices have been narrowed down to the following two options.-OPTION 1:Invest in a foreign bond that will mature in one year. This will entail an immediate brokerage fee of $100. For simplicity, assume that the bond will provide interest of $2,470, $2,130, or $1,527 over the one-year period and that the probabilities of these occurrences are assessed to be 0.29, 0.43, and 0.28, respectively.-OPTION 2:Invest in a $31,000 certificate with a savings-and-loan association. Assume that this certificate has an effective annual rate of 5.6%.Which form of the investment should the investor choose in order to maximize her expected financial gains? Enter the expected net gain (total return - initial investment - fee) of the preferred option."

The current average diesel price is about 145 pence per litre. Your friend firmly believes that the average diesel price will shoot over 160 pence per litre for the Christmas period due to supply and logistics problems while you think, with the mitigation policies from the government, that there is a 60% probability that it will remain below 160 pence per litre. The two of you decide to bet on the outcome with x pounds: if you win, your friend pays you x pounds and vice versa. Your current wealth is 5,000 pounds which is also the maximum amount you can bet. As an expected utility maximiser, should you bet, and why or why not? If you do bet, what is the optimal amount that you should bet to maximise your expected utility?
A company produces an electronic timing switch that is used in consumer and commercial products. The fixed cost (CF ) is $73,000 per month, and the variable cost (cv) is $83 per unit. The selling price per unit is p = $180 − 0.02(D). For this situation, (a) determine the optimal volume for this product and confirm that a profit occurs (instead of a loss) at this demand. (b) find the volumes at which breakeven occurs; that is, what is the range of profitable demand? Solve by hand and by spreadsheet.

A new product has the following profit projections and associated probabilities: Profit Probability $150,000 0.10 $100,000 0.25 $ 50,000 0.20 $0 0.15 -$ 50,000 0.20 -$100,000 0.10 Use the expected value approach to decide whether to market the new product. Because of the high dollar values involved, especially the possibility of a $100,000 loss, the marketing vice president has expressed some concern about the use of the expected value approach. As a consequence, if a utility analysis is performed, what is the appropriate lottery? Assume that the following indifference probabilities are assigned. Do the utilities reflect the behavior of a risk taker or a risk avoider? Profit Indifference Probability $100,000 0.95 $ 50,000 0.70 $0 0.50 -$ 50,000 0.25
Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data processing operation: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing (referred to as outsourcing), or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: Demand Staffing Options High Medium Low Own staff 650 650 600 Outside vendor 900 600 300 Combination 800 650 500 If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data processing operation?What is the expected annual cost associated with that recommendation?Expected annual cost = $ Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a).The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor.What is the probability of the cost…
