Ritz Products’s materials manager, Tej Dhakar, mustdetermine whether to make or buy a new semiconductor for thewrist TV that the firm is about to produce. One million unitsare expected to be produced over the life cycle. If the product ismade, start-up and production costs of the make decision total$1 million, with a probability of .4 that the product will be satisfactory and a .6 probability that it will not. If the product isnot satisfactory, the firm will have to reevaluate the decision. Ifthe decision is reevaluated, the choice will be whether to spendanother $1 million to redesign the semiconductor or to purchase.Likelihood of success the second time that the make decision ismade is .9. If the second make decision also fails, the firm mustpurchase. Regardless of when the purchase takes place, Dhakar’sbest judgment of cost is that Ritz will pay $.50 for each purchasedsemiconductor plus $1 million in vendor development cost.a) Assuming that Ritz must have the semiconductor (stopping…

The continuous problem has been that the locomotives used by the company are not very reliable. Even with prior decisions to resolve the problem, there still has not been a change in the reliability of these locomotives. Between 2015 and 2016, 155 new locomotives were purchased and one of CBN’s repair shops was renovated. The renovated shop has been very inefficient. Spychalski estimated that the shop would complete 300 overhauls on a yearly basis, but instead it has only managed to complete an average of160 overhauls per year.The company has also been doing a poor job servicing customers (that is, providing equipment). CBN has averaged only 87–88 percent equipment availability, compared to other railroads with availability figures greater than 90 percent. Increased business in the rail industry has been a reason for trying to reduce the time used for repairing the locomotives.…arrow_forwardUse excel and show formulas Benson Enterprises is deciding when to replace its old machine. The machine’s current salvage value is $1.2 million. Its current book value is $1 million. If not sold, the old machine will require maintenance costs of $420,000 at the end of the year for the next five years. Depreciation on theold machine is $200,000 per year. At the end of five years, it will have a salvage value of $220,000. A replacement machine costs $3.5 million now and requires maintenance costs of $160,000 at the end of each year during its economic life of five years. At the end of five years, the new machinewill have a salvage value of $540,000. It will be fully depreciated using the three-year MACRS schedule. In five years a replacement machine will cost $4,000,000. Pilot will need to purchase this machine regardless of what choice it makes today.

One million units are expected to be produced over the life cycle. If the product is made, start-up and production costs of the make decision total $3 million, with a probability of 0.4 that the product will be satisfactory and a 0.6 probability that it will not. If the product is not satisfactory, the firm will have to reevaluate the decision. If the decision is reevaluated, the choice will be whether to spend another $3 million to redesign the semiconductor or to purchase. Likelihood of success the second time that the make decision is made is 0.8. If the second make decision also fails, the firm must purchase. Regardless of when the purchase takes place, Dhakar's best judgment of cost is that Ritz will pay $0.40 for each purchased semiconductor plus $2 million in vendor development cost. Part 2 a) Assuming that…arrow_forwardA manager is trying to decide whether to buy one machine or two. If only one is purchased and demand proves to be excessive, the second machine can be purchased later. Some sales will be lost, however, because the lead time for producing this type of machine is six months. In addition, the costper machine will be lower if both are purchased at the same time. The probability of low demand is estimated to be 0.20. The after-tax net present value of the benefits from purchasing the two machines together is $90,000 if demand is low and $180,000 if demand is high. If one machine is purchased and demand is low, the net present value is $120,000. If demand is high, the manager has three options. Doing nothing has a net present value of $120,000; subcontracting, $160,000; and buying the second machine, $140,000.a. Draw a decision tree for this problem.b. How many machines should the company buy initially? What is the expected payoff for this alternative?arrow_forward
