A manufacturer of microwaves has discovered that male shoppers, on average have lower values for microwave ovens than female shoppers. Additionally, male shoppers attribute almost no extra value to an auto-defrost feature, while female shoppers, on average, value the auto-defrost feature. The manufacturer has determined that men value a simple microwave at $70 and one with autodefrost at $80, while women value a simple microwave at $80 and one with auto-defrost at $150. If there is an equal number of men and women, what pricing strategy will yield the greatest revenue?

Model S is the standard model; model LX is a heavy-duty version. Shelves are manufactured in three major steps: stamping, forming, and assembly. In the stamping stage, a large machine is used to stamp (i.e., cut) standard sheets of metal into appropriate sizes. In the forming stage, another machine bends the metal into shape. Assembly involves joining the parts with a combination of soldering and riveting. Shelby’s stamping and forming machines work on both models of shelves. Separate assembly departments are used for the final stage of production. The file C03_01.xlsx contains relevant data for Shelby. (See Figure 3.38.) The hours required on each machine for each unit of product are shown in the range B5:C6 of the Accounting Data sheet. For example, the production of one model S shelf requires 0.25 hour on the forming machine. Both the stamping and forming machines can operate for 800 hours…arrow_forwardUnder normal liquidity management, deposit drains and loan commitment disbursement should not cause any major concerns for the financial institution. Major liquidity problems can arise where deposit drains are abnormally large; unexpected abnormal deposit drains (shocks) these may occur for all of the following reasons EXCEPT: a. The recent bankruptcy of a domestic bank sparks fear amoung depositors of a possible similar occurrence at another financial institution. b. Speculations of ongoing liquidity problems of a particular financial institution compared to its competitors´. c. The sudden withdrawal of funds by a significant number of depositors due to a major financial crisis taking place in the local economy. d. The sudden change in preference by investors from holding stocks and bonds to certain bank related deposits instruments.arrow_forward
- Functions are used to map elements from one set to another. For example, barcode and QR scanner systems are developed by programmers to use specific symbologies to map the pattern in the barcode to actual digits. The check digit or the final digit is used to determine whether the function is true (known good) or false (errors in the mapping occurred). RFID system developers also use functions to develop a pairing protocol that securely connects legitimate devices within a specific proximity. RFIDs are using in logistics, retail, warehousing, and more.arrow_forwardWhich methods to use depends on the type of variable(s) being analyzed.arrow_forwardBad simulations Explain why each of the followingsimulations fails to model the real situation properly:a) Use a random integer from 0 through 9 to representthe number of heads when 9 coins are tossed. b) A basketball player takes a foul shot.

- The Racing Club of America sponsors driver education events that provide high-performance driving instruction on actual race tracks. Because safety is a primary consideration at such events, many owners elect to install roll bars in their cars. Deegan Industries manufactures two types of roll bars for sports cars. Model DRB is bolted to the car using existing holes in the car's frame. Model DRW is a heavier roll bar that must be welded to the car's frame. Model DRB requires 20 pounds of a special high alloy steel, 40 minutes of manufacturing time, and 60 minutes of assembly time. Model DRW requires 25 pounds of the special high alloy steel, 100 minutes of manufacturing time, and 40 minutes of assembly time. Deegan's steel supplier indicated that at most 32,000 pounds of the high-alloy steel will be available next quarter. In addition, Deegan estimates that 2,000 hours of manufacturing time and 1,700 hours of assembly time will be available next quarter.

An hour ago, you sent an order of 74 boxes of your A1 ball bearings to a customer on your delivery truck. You have just found out that your truck is going to go over a bridge that has a weight limit of 11,500 lbs. You need to determine if your truck will safely make it over the bridge. If you determine that the truck cannot make it over the bridge, you will need to call the driver and have him/her turn back. The plant manager has told you that an empty delivery truck with the driver weights about 8500 lbs. You have 30 boxes of the A1 ball bearings in your plant. You immediately had them weighed. The weights of the boxes are: 40.1 41.1 39.5 40.1 39.1 41.2 37.6 39.1 41.6 40.8 43.2 38.9 38.1 43.5 36.9 39.1 40.5 41.2 37.6 44.0 38.0 39.8 42.1 38.6 41.3 43.7 36.9 43.6 38.1 40.2 1.

The company’s X-ray Division uses semiconductors as a component in its final product and is evaluating whether to purchase them from the Semiconductor Division or from an external supplier. The market price for semiconductors is $100 per 100 semiconductors. Dave Bryant is the controller of the X-ray Division, and Howard Hillman is the controller of the Semiconductor Division. The following conversation took place between Dave and Howard: Dave: I hear you are having problems selling semiconductors out of your division. Maybe I can help. Howard: You’ve got that right. We’re producing and selling at about 90% of our capacity to outsiders. Last year, we were selling 100% of capacity. Would it be possible for your division to pick up some of our excess capacity? After all, we are part of the same company. Dave: What kind of price could you give me?…arrow_forward
