Seattle radiology group plans to invest in a new ct scanner. the group estimates $1,500 net revenue per scan. preliminary market assessments indicate that demand will be less than 5,000 scans per year. the group is considering a scanner (scanner b) that would result in total fixed costs of $800,000 and would yield a profit of $450,000 per year at a volume of 5,000 scans. what is the estimated breakeven volume (in number of scans) for scanner b?

Alocation analysis has been narrowed down to two locations, akron and boston. the main factors in the decision will be the supply of raw materials, which has a weight of .50, transportation cost, which has a weight of .40, and labor cost, which has a weight of .10. the scores for raw materials, transportation, and labor are for akron 60, 80, and 70, respectively; for boston 70, 50, and 90, respectively. given this information and a minimum acceptable composite score of 75, we can say that the manager should:

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. a manufacturing process has 130 customer orders to fill. each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. however, typically, 3% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent. (a) if the manufacturer stocks 130 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (b) if the manufacturer stocks 132 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components? (c) if the manufacturer stocks 135 components, what is the probability that the 130 orders can be filled without reordering components?
