A Tennessee manufacturing firm has offered a one-year contract to supply speakers to Miller's place of business at the retail stores at a cost of $17.00 per unit. If Miller Company accepts the offer, it will be able to rent unused space to an outside firm for $18,000 per year. All other information remains the same as the original data. What will be the effect on profits if Miller Company buys from the Tennessee firm

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?
