- Mars Incorporated is interested in going to market with a new fuel savings device that attaches to electrically powered industrial vehicles. The device, code named "Python," promises to save up to 15% of the electrical power required to operate the average electric forklift. Mars expects that modest demand expected during the introductory year will be followed by a steady increase in demand in subsequent years. The extent of this increase in demand will be based on customer's expectations regarding the future cost of electricity, which is shown in Table 1. Mars expects to sell the device for $300 each, and does not expect to be able to raise its price over the foreseeable future. Mars is faced with two alternatives: ≻Alternative 1: Make the device themselves, which requires an initial outlay of $450,000 in plant and equipment and a variable cost of $175 per unit. ≻Alternative 2: Outsource the production, which requires no initial investment, but incurs a per unit cost…Problems 2 Helen Murvis, hospital administrator for Portland General Hospital, is trying to determine whether to build a large wing onto the existing hospital, a small wing, or no wing at all. If the population of Portland continues to grow, a large wing could return $150,000 to the hospital each year. If the small wing were built, it would return S$60,000 to the hospital each year if the population continues to grow. If the population of Portland remains the same, the hospital would encounter a loss of $85,000 if the large wing were built. Furthermore, a loss of $45,000 would be realized if the small wing were constructed and the population remains the same. Unfortunately, Helen does not have any information about the future population of Portland * Develop a decision table for this problem. * Determine the best decision using the following decision criteria 1.

- 10.4 The staff of Jefferson Medical Services has estimated the following net cash flows for a food services operation that it may open in its outpatient clinic: Year Expected Net Cash Flow 0 ($100,000) 1 30,000 2 30,000 3 30,000 4 30,000 5 30,000 5 (salvage value) 20,000 The time 0 cash flow is the net investment outlay, while the final amount is the terminal cash flow. (The clinic is expected to move to a new building in five years.) All other flows represent net operating cash flows. Jefferson’s corporate cost of capital is 10 percent. What is the project’s IRR? Assuming the project has average risk, what is its NPV? Now, assume that the operating cash flows in years 1 through 5 could be as low as $20,000 or as high as $40,000. Furthermore, the salvage value cash flow at the end of year 5 could be as low as $0 or as high as $30,000. What are the worst-case and best-case IRRs?

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 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: 0.60. 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 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…

The original cost of the old facility was $300,000, and its capacity in terms of standardizedproduction units is 250,000 units per year. The capacity of the new laboratoryis to be 400,000 units per year. During the past 23 years, costs of laboratoryconstruction have risen by an average of 5% per year. If the cost-capacity factor, based on square footage, is 0.80, what is the estimated cost of the newlaboratory?The exclusive Swink Golf Driving Range has had astandard price of $15 per hour. The facility has 36 golfing stations,with average usage of 50%, 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. MorganSwink, the owner, would like to enhance revenue. He proposes newpricing at $10 per hour on weekdays and $20 per hour on weekends.He estimates that weekday usage will increase to 60% and weekendusage will remain at 500/o, even with the price increase. Variable costis a consistent $3 per hour. Which strategy is better?
