Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.

Condo Construction Company is going to First NationalBank for a loan. At the present time, the bank is willing to lendCondo up to $1 million, with interest costs of 10%. Condobelieves that the amount of borrowed funds needed during thecurrent year is normally distributed, with a mean of $700,000and a standard deviation of $300,000. If Condo needs to borrowmore money during the year, the company will have to go toLouie the Loan Shark. The cost per dollar borrowed fromLouie is 25¢. To minimize expected interest costs for the year,how much money should Condo borrow from the bank?

A store owner must decide whether to build a small or a large facility at a new location. Demand at a location can be either small or large, which probabilities estimated to be 0.4 and 0.6, respectively. If small facility is built and demand proves to be high, the manager may choose not to expand (payoff=P235,000) or to expand (payoff=P275,000). If a small facility is built and demand is low, there is no reason to expand and the payoff is P220,000. If a large facility is built and demand proves to be low, the choice is to do nothing (P60,000) or to stimulate demand through local advertising. The response to advertising may be either modest or sizable, with their probabilities estimated to be 0.3 and 0.7, respectively. If it is modest, the payoff grows to P230,000 if the response is sizable. Finally, if a large facility is built and demand turns out to be high, the payoff is P900,000.a.) Draw a decision tree.b.) Determine the expected payoff for each decision and event node.c.)…
If workers contribute to their group’s investments and decide on these investments, workers at different stages of their careers may want different types of capital, for example a durable building versus a temporary one. a. How might the age distribution of the workers make the building they choose to build too temporary or too durable? How can a building be too durable? b. There are also young and old shareholders. Why isn’t the choice of the building’s durability also a problem if they or an elected management makes the decision on it?
Explain in some detail how the PrecisionTree calculations in Figure 6.11 for the Acme problem are exactly the same as those for the hand-drawn decision tree in Figure 6.6. In other words, explain exactly how PrecisionTree gets the monetary values in the colored cells in Figure 6.11. If your answer is negative number, enter "minus" sign.

Suppose we are considering the question of how much capacity to build in the face of uncertain demand. Assume that the cost is $20 per unit of lost sales due to insufficient capacity. Also assume that there is a cost of $7 for each unit of capacity built. The probability of various demand levels is as follows: Demand—X Units Probability of X 0 .05 1 .10 2 .15 3 .20 4 .20 5 .15 6 .10 7 .05 a. How many units of capacity should be built to minimize the total cost of providing capacity plus lost sales? b. State a…

The book isn't in your list. but here's the question: Perry Enterprises is considering a number of investment possibilities. Specifically, each investment under consideration will draw on the capital account during each of its first three years, but in the long run, each is predicted to achieve a positive net present value (NPV). Listed are the investment alternatives, their net present values, and their capital requirements, and all figures are in thousands of dollars. In addition, the amount of capital available to the investments in each of the next three years is predicted to be $9.5 million, $7.5 million, and $8.8 million, respectively. (It shows a chart that I attached in the images) For the model, I am unsure of how the constraints are supposed to be applied. Do I have to purchase the investment for all three years if I choose to invest in that investment or can I choose to only invest in it one or two years? If I invest in it more than one year, do I still only recieve the NPV…
