Phillip Witt, president of Witt Input Devices, wishesto create a portfolio of local suppliers for his new line of keyboards.As the suppliers all reside in a location prone to hurricanes,tornadoes, flooding, and earthquakes, Phillip believes thatthe probability in any year of a " super-event" that might shutdown all suppliers at the same time for at least 2 weeks is 3%.Such a total shutdown would cost the company approximately$400,000. He estimates the " unique-event" risk for any of thesuppliers to be 5%. Assuming that the marginal cost of managingan additional supplier is $15,000 per year, how many suppliersshould Witt Input Devices use? Assume that up to three nearlyidentical local suppliers are available.
