Borges Machine Shop, Inc., has a 1-year contract for the production of 225 000 gear housings for a new off-road vehicle. Owner Luis Borges hopes the contract will be extended and the volume increased next year. Borges has developed costs for three alternatives. They are general-purpose equipment (GPE), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), and expensive, but efficient, dedicated machine (DM). The cost data follow: General-Purpose Equipment (GPE) Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) Dedicated Machine (DM) Annual contracted units 225 000 225 000...
Question C
C. Suppose that during each minute there is a 1 in 500, 000 probability that there is an accident at a particular intersection (independently of all other minutes). Using the approximation of 500,000 minutes per year, we expect to see 1 accident per year on average. One year somebody proposes to install a new kind of stoplight to reduce accidents. You believe a priori that there is a 1/5 chance that the new stoplight is effective, in which...

Schweser Satellites Inc. produces satellite earth stations that sell for $95,000 each. The firm's fixed costs, F, are $2.5 million, 50 earth stations are produced and sold each year, profits total $600,000, and the firm's assets (all equity financed) are $5 million. The firm estimates that it can change its production process, adding $3.5 million to assets and $310,000 to fixed operating costs. This change will reduce variable costs per unit by $12,000 and increase output by 16 units. However,...
A bicycle manufacturer currently produces 280 comma 000 units a year and expects output levels to remain steady in the future. It buys chains from an outside supplier at a price of $ 2.10 a chain. The plant manager believes that it would be cheaper to make these chains rather than buy them. Direct in-house production costs are estimated to be only $ 1.50 per chain. The necessary machinery would cost $ 269 comma 000 and would be obsolete after...
