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: \(2 million.
Probability of rezoning: 60.
If the land is rezoned, there will be additional costs for new roads, lighting, and so on, of \)1 million. If the land is rezoned, the contractor must decide whether to build a shopping center or1, 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 \(4 million over her construction cost, which excludes the land; and there is a 30 percent chance that she can sell it to an insurance company for \)5 million over her construction cost (also excluding the land). If instead of the shopping center, she decides to build the 1,500 apartments, she places probabilities on the profits as follows:
There is a 60 percent chance that she can sell the apartments to a real estate investment corporation for \(3,000 each over her construction cost; there is a 40 percent chance that she can get only \)2,000 each over her construction cost. (Both exclude the land cost.)
If the land is not rezoned, she will comply with the existing zoning restrictions and simply build 600 homes, on which she expects to make $4,000 over the construction cost on each one (excluding the cost of land).
Draw a decision tree of the problem and determine the best solution and the expected net profit.
Question: Two of the efficiency ratios mentioned in the chapter are the receivable turnover ratio and the inventory turnover ratio. While they are two completely separate measures, they are very similar in one way. What is the common thread between these two?
A fast-food restaurant serves hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and chicken sandwiches. The restaurant counts a cheeseburger as equivalent to 1.25 hamburgers and chicken sandwiches as 0.8 hamburger. Current employment is five full-time employees who each work a 40-hour week. If the restaurant sold 700 hamburgers, 900 cheeseburgers, and 500 chicken sandwiches in one week, what is its productivity? What would its productivity have been if it had sold the same number of sandwiches (2,100), but the mix was 700 of each type?
The procedure used to reduce project completion time by trading off time versus cost.
Question: Bragg鈥檚 Bakery is building a new automated bakery in downtown Sandusky. Here are the activities that need to be completed to get the new bakery built and the equipment installed.
a. Draw the project diagram.
b. What is the normal project length?
c. What is the project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum?
d. Bragg鈥檚 loses \(3,500 in profit per week for every week the bakery is not completed.
How many weeks will the project take if we are willing to pay to crash cost as long as it is less than \)3,500?
