McDonald (Agricultural Engineers) Ltd recently built a machine for a farmer at a cost of £22,000. The farmer, however, was recently declared bankrupt and so is unable to take delivery of the machine. Another farmer has offered to buy the machine if certain adaptations are made. These adaptations will require four components, which are held in inventories. The components cost £800 each and are frequently used by the business. The current replacement price per component is £850 and their realisable value is £420 per component. To fit the components, skilled labour, which costs £18 per hour must be used. The job will take 16 hours and it will mean taking two workers off another job. This job could be done by semi-skilled workers, who are paid £12 per hour but have no work available until next week. The business has received an offer from an agricultural supplier to buy the machine in its current condition for £10,000. What is the minimum price at which the business should…

Your company has a customer who is shutting down a production line, and it is your responsibility to dispose of the extrusion machine. The company could keep it in inventory for a possible future product and estimates that the reservation value is $150,000. Your dealings on the secondhand market lead you to believe that if you commit to a price of $200,000, there is a 0.5 chance you will be able to sell the machine. If you commit to a price of $250,000, there is a 0.3 chance you will be able to sell the machine. If you commit to a price of $300,000, there is a 0.1 chance you will be able to sell the machine. These probabilities are summarized in the following table. For each posted price, enter the expected value of attempting to sell the machine at that price. (Hint: Be sure to take into account the value of the machine to your company in the event that you are not be able to sell the machine.)
