- Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data warehouse: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data warehouse? What is the expected annual cost associated with that recommendation? Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a). What is the probability of the cost exceeding $700,000?Kylies Cookies is considering the purchase of a larger oven that will cost $2,200 and will increase her fixed costs by $59.

She feels confident that such a small price increase will decrease the sales by only 25 units and may help her offset the increase in fixed costs.

Complete the monthly contribution margin income statement for each of these cases.4. What is a Break-even Point and why do managers calculate it? 5.

This machine will require $21 000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $265 000.
