State clearly with justifications, how value for money will be realised and measured.

Jerry loves to take his own bike on 50-mile trips with his friends, but he believes that any small business should be started only if there is a good chance of making a profit. Jerry can open a small shop, a large shop, or no shop at all. The profits will depend on the size of the shop and whether the market is favorable or unfavorable for his products. Because there will be a 5-year lease on the building that Jerry is thinking about using, he wants to make sure that he makes the correct decision. Jerry is also thinking about hiring his old marketing professor to conduct a marketing research study. If the study is conducted, the study could be favorable (i.e., predicting a favorable market) or unfavorable (i.e., predicting an unfavorable market). Develop a decision tree for Jerry.arrow_forward

However, since the new product line has a unique appeal that will require substantial advertising by its manufacturer to gain consumer acceptance, there is a 40 percent chance that revenues for next year will be a modest 1.0 million. What is the expected level of revenues for the new product line? The expected total revenue for the new line of products is $ ___ millionarrow_forwardQuestion 1 A A company manufactures two types of boxes, corrugated and ordinary cartons. The boxes undergo two major processes: cutting and pinning operations. The profits per unit are $6 and $4 respectively. Each corrugated box requires 2 minutes for cutting and each carton requires 3 minutesfor cutting, whereas each corrugated box requires 2 minutes for pinning and each carton requires 1 minute for pinning. The available cutting time is 120 minutes and total pinning time is 60 minutes. Determine the optimum quantities of the two boxes to maximize the profits. a. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the quantities of the two boxes that should be produced in order to maximize total profit contribution b.
