It was thinking of launching in June of next year, but it believes that a rival is also considering launching a similar product around that time. The company is considering bringing the launch forward to the end of this year. This will cost an extra $3M to carry out and the company believes it will have a 0.8 probability of beating the rival to the market. If, however, they wait until June, the probability of beating the rival falls to 0.2. To make the decision easier, the company assumes that sales will be either high, medium or low. If the company launches before its rival, the probability of high sales is 0.6, the probability of medium sales is 0.25, and the probability of low sales is 0.15. If it launches after its rival, the probability of high sales falls to 0.35, medium sales rises to 0.45, and low sales rises to 0.2. The financial impacts are that high sales would be worth $9M, medium would be worth $5M and low, $1M. Using…arrow_forward

- Your manager is quite concerned about the recent deterioration of a section of the roof on a building that houses your firm's computer operations. According to your assistant there are three options which merit consideration: A, B, and C. Moreover, there are three possible future conditions that must be included in the analysis: I, which has a probability of occurrence of .5; II, which has a probability of .3; and III, which has a probability of .2. If condition I materializes, A will cost $12,000, B will cost $20,000, and C will cost $16,000. If condition II materializes, the costs will be $15,000 for A, $18,000 for B, and $14,000 for C. If condition III materializes, the costs will be $10,000 for A, $15,000 for B, and $19,000 for C.

The airline charges $835 per passenger from Almaty (Kazakhstan) to Frankfurt (Germany). However, due to overbooking, it asks a few passengers travelling more than the plane’s capacity to take another flight and offers a coupon of $350, including hotel, meal, etc. The experience has shown the following probability distribution corresponding to no-shows: Number of no-shows Probabillity 0 0.05 1 0.08 2 0.12 3 0.19 4 0.25 5 0.15 6 0.11 7 0.05 The airline hires you as a consultant because you have taken a course in supply chain management. What is the average number of no-shows based on the above distribution? How many overbookings should be made to minimize loss due to no shows, given the above probability distribution? Suppose you find out that last minute no-shows are normally distributed with a mean as determined in (a) above and a standard…arrow_forward
