During the reading of the textbook there is a section about call provision. This is when a corporation has the right to call the bonds for redemption. The book says that that the company must pay the bondholders an amount great than the par value if they are called. They usually do this if interest rates drop. The reason being is that bonds and interest rates have an inverse relationship. After the company calls the bonds they will issue out other bonds at a lower interest rate. Why would investors invest in callable bonds if companies can just call them back (after a certain amount of time) and issue out others bonds with lower interest rates?

A manager is quite concerned about the recent deterioration of a section of the roof on a building that houses her firm's computer operations. According to her assistant there are three options which merit consideration: A, B, and C. Moreover, there are three possible future conditions that must be included in the analysis: I, which has a probability of occurrence of .1; II, which has a probability of .3; and III, which has a probability of .6.

If condition I materializes, A will cost $12,000, B will cost $20,000, and C will cost $16,000.
If condition II materializes, the costs will be $15,000 for A, $18,000 for B, and $14,000 for C.
If condition III materializes, the costs will be $10,000 for A, $15,000 for B, and $19,000 for C.

Scenario #1: The State of Wisconsin began running a Boot Camp for first time youth drug offenders. The camp entails sending the offenders to the north woods from 3/14/2015 - 4/27/2015. "Campers" will build their own shelters and cook over open fires. The camp also includes traditional boot camp aspects like exercise, drills, etc. Billy Badger was given the job of determining the effectiveness of the boot camp. The next time the boot camp is conducted, he will compare a random sample of offenders placed in traditional programs (e.g., probation, incarceration, drug treatment, day treatment, house arrest, etc.) to a random sample of offenders placed in the boot camp. He is planning on comparing the groups on recidivism rates for the next two years.

A bag contains 9 red, 8 orange, and 6 green jellybeans. What is the probability of reaching into the bag and randomly withdrawing 17 jellybeans such that the number of red ones is 7, the number of orange ones is 7, and the number of green ones is 33? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.

Assume that if the product requested is not in stock, it needs to be manufactured
before the order handling can continue. In this way, an order can never be rejected.
To manufacture a product, the required raw materials have to be ordered. Two
preferred suppliers provide different types of raw material. Depending on the prod-
uct to be manufactured, raw materials may be ordered from either Supplier 1 or
Supplier 2, or from both. Once the raw materials are available, the product can be
manufactured and the order can be confirmed. On the other hand, if the product
is in stock, it is retrieved from the warehouse before confirming the order. Then
the process continues normally. After confirming the order, the shipment address is
received and the requested product is shipped while the invoice is emitted and the
payment is received. Afterwards, the order is archived and the process completes.

With respect to the above process, use the following report format and provide
necessary discussion under each section:
1. Descriptions of System
- Describe the system
- (If any) Explain any problem(s) in the system (e.g. causes of the problem
and its (potential) effects
2. Simulation Objective(s)
- State the objective(s) of carrying out your simulation project
