The Tri-County Generation and Transmission Association is a nonprofit cooperative organization that provides electrical service to rural customers. Based on a faulty long-range demand forecast, Tri-County overbuilt its generation and distribution system. Tri-County now has much more capacity than it needs to serve its customers. Fixed costs, mostly debt service on investment in plant and equipment, are $82.5 million per year. Variable costs, mostly fossil fuel costs, are $25 per megawatt-hour (MWh, or million watts of power used for one hour). The new person in charge of demand forecasting prepared a short-range forecast for use in next year’s budgeting process. That forecast calls for Tri-County customers to consume 1 million MWh of energy next year.a. How much will Tri-County need to charge its customers per MWh to break even next year?b. The Tri-County customers balk at that price and conserve electrical energy. Only 95 percent of forecasted demand materializes. What is the…

The goal of the department was to reduce costs, avoid duplication of efforts, and provide up-to-date technology to all of the city’s operations. The fund was designed to be self-supporting; that is, all costs are to be recovered through user fees, but any excess of fees over expenses should be less than 4 percent.

In real estate it is usually said that the three most consider most important criteria are “location, location, location. “ Now, does remote working means that location is a less important criterion for issues like where to put corporate headquarters?

In other words, does the Tesla move signal to cities everywhere that they have to become more competitive if they want to keep…
HomeGrown Company is a chain of grocery stores that are similar to indoor farmer's markets, providing fresh, local produce, meats, and dairy products to consumers in urban areas. HomeGrown is considering opening several stores in a new city, and has proposals from three contractors (Alpha, Beta, and Gamma companies) who would like to provide buildings for the new stores. The amount of expected revenue from the stores will depend on the design of the contractor. For example, if HomeGrown decides on a more open floor plan, with less shelf space for products, revenue would be lower overall. However, if HomeGrown decides on a very crowded floor plan, it may lose customers who appreciate a more open feel. As the project manager for HomeGrown, you are responsible for deciding which if any of the proposals to accept. HomeGrown's minimum acceptable rate of return is 20%.

Therefore, it is important to be well informed about this matter. Do some research about the SB 1 proposal and answer the following question: If you were a member of the Texas Legislature, would you vote for or against this law? Explain your answer.
The Shining Stars primary school was the recent recipient of a technology grant to source and implement a school management system. The school administrator is not technology savvy and therefore sought advice from three of the board members who were knowledgeable in the information systems and technology field. One director advised the administrator to purchase an off-the-shelf solution that would allow the school to get the system configured and up and running in a short period with reasonable costs. The second advised the administrator to invest in the development of a unique system to meet the custom requirements of the school’s administration. He suggested that this would create a closer fit to the school’s needs compared to purchasing software, but will cost more. The third director suggested using an open-source solution which would have little if any upfront costs but may require some customization. The school administrator must decide about which solution to go with.…
The Lake Placid Town Council has decided to build a new community center to be used for conventions and other events, but considerable controversy surrounds the appopriate size. Many influential citizens want a large center that would be a showcase for the area, but the mayor feels that if demand does not support such a center, the community will lose a large amount of money. To provide structure for the decision process, the council narrowed the building alternatives to three sizes: small, medium, and large. Everybody agreed that the critical factor in choosing the best size is the number of people who will want to use the new facility. A regional planning consultant provided demand estimates under three scenarios: worst case, base case, and best case. The worst case scenario corresponds to a situation in which tourism drops significantly: the base case scenario correseponds to a situation in which Lake Placid continues to attract visitors at current levels: and the best case scenario…
