- A builder has located a piece of property that she would like to buy and eventually build on. The land is currently zoned for four homes per acre, but she is planning to request new zoning. What she builds depends on the approval of zoning requests and your analysis of this problem to advise her. With her input and your help, the decision process has been reduced to the following costs, alternatives, and probabilities:Cost of land: $2 millionProbability of rezoning: .60If the land is rezoned, there will be additional costs for new roads, lighting, and so on, of $1 million. If the land is rezoned, the contractor must decide whether to build a shopping center or 1,500 apartments that the tentative plan shows would be possible. If she builds a shopping center, there is a 70 percent chance that she can sell the shopping center to a large department store chain for $4 million over her construction cost, which excludes the land; and there is a 30 percent chance that she can sell it to an…arrow_forwardexplain what is meant by the term no feasible solutions ?arrow_forwardSuppose the following costs for a 10-hour round-trip flight apply to the time frame and expenses of an unscheduled 5-hour charter flight from Baltimore to Las Vegas (and return the next day) on a seven-year-old Boeing 737–800 with 120 occupied seats. Some costs listed in the table have been aggregated up to the flight level from a seat-level decision where they are incurred. Others have been allocated down to the flight level from an entry/exit or maintain-ownership company-level decision. Still other costs vary with the go/no go flight-level decision itself. Your job is to analyze each cost item and figure out the “behavior of cost”—that is, with which decision each cost varies. Fuel and landing fees =$5,200 Quarterly airframe maintenance re: FAA certificate = $1,000 Unscheduled engine maintenance per 10 flight hours =$1,200 Pro rata time depreciation for seventh year of airframe = $7,200 Flight pay for pilots per round-trip flight = $4,200 Long-term hangar facility lease = $6,600…arrow_forward

Annual fixed costs of manufacturing this item are $140,000. The current selling price of the item is $10 per unit, and the annual sales volume is 30,000 units. so Techno can substantially improve the item’s quality by installing new equipment at additional annual fixed costs of $60,000. Variable costs per unit would increase by $1, but, as more of the better-quality product could be sold, the annual volume would increase to 50,000 units. Should Techno buy the new equipment and maintain the current price of the item? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThree doctors have banded together to form a jointpractice: the Port Charles Trio. The overhead for the practiceis $40,000 per year.

- Define the term No Feasible Solutions?arrow_forwardIn 2007 San Francisco began its Healthy San Francisco Plan designed to provide health care for all San Francisco citizens. In 2007, it was estimated that San Francisco had 82,000 uninsured citizens. Under the plan, all uninsured citizens residing in San Francisco can seek care at the city's public and private clinics and hospitals. The basic coverage includes lab work, x-rays, surgery, and preventative care. The city plans to pay for this $203 million coverage by rerouting the $104 million the city currently spends treating the uninsured in the emergency rooms, mandating business contributions, and requiring income-adjusted enrollment fees. The plan requires all businesses with more than 20 employees to contribute a percentage toward the plan. Many business owners consider this a burden and warn they will not stay in the city. The Mayor sees universal health access as a moral obligation for the city. Take one of the following positions. San Francisco has an obligation to provide its…arrow_forwardJanelle Heinke, the owners of Ha'Peppas, is consid-ering a new oven in which to bake the firm's signature dish, vegetarian pizza.

The fixed costs associated with oven B are $30,000 and the variable costs are $1.25 per pizza. The pizzas sell for $14 each. a) What is the break-even point for each oven? b) If the owner expects to sell 9,000 pizzas, which oven should she purchase? c)If the owner expects to sell 12,000 pizzas, which oven should she purchase? d) At what volume should Janelle switch ovens?arrow_forward
