Chapter 10, Problem 6P
The ABC Company is considering the following options for its backup plan:
- 1. Daily full backups:
- Time to perform backup = 60 minutes
- Size of backup = 50 GB
- Time to restore from backup = 30 minutes
- 2. Weekly full backups plus daily incremental backup:
- Same requirements as option 1 to do a full backup on Friday, plus
- Time to perform daily backup = 10 minutes
- Size of daily backup = 10 GB
- Time to restore each daily backup file = 5 minutes
- 3. Weekly full backups plus daily differential backup:
- Same requirements as option 1 to do a full backup on Friday, plus
- Time to perform daily backup = 10 minutes first day, growing by 5 minutes each day thereafter’
- Size of daily backup = 10 GB first day, growing by 10 GB each day
- Time to restore differential backup file = 5 minutes first day, increasing by 2 minutes each subsequent day

The manager forecasts that from one year to the next, demand may go up 5 percent with a probability of 0.5 or go down by 5 percent by a probability of 0.5. The probabilities of the two outcomes are independent. The manager can sign a two year lease at a price of 0.8 dollar per square feet per year or obtain the warehouse space from sport market with 1.3 dollar per square feet per year.

- XYZ, a grocery store, is considering offering one hour photo developing in their store. The firm expects that sales from the new one-hour machine will be $150,000 per year. XYZ currently offers overnight film processing with annual sales of $100,000. While many of the one-hour photo sales will be to new customers, XYZ estimates that 60% of their current overnight photo customers will switch and use the one-hour service. What is the minimum amount of sales from the one-hour service to justify the investment ?arrow_forwardConsider a proposal to enhance the vision system used by a postal service to sort mail. The new system is estimated to cost $1.1 million and will incur an additiona $200,000 per year in maintenance costs. The system will produce annual savings of $500,000 each year (primarily by decreasing the percentage of misdirected mail and reducing the amount of mail that must be sorted manually). The MARR is 10% per year, and the study period is five years at which time the system will be technologically obsolete (worthless). The PW of this proposal is PW(10%) = −$1,100,000 + ($500,000 − $200,000)(P/A, 10%, 5) = $37,236.
