Decision Making Tree Scenarios

  • For the past several years, you’ve been purchasing a product from a supplier at a high-volume cost and reselling the product at a lower price than your customers could buy it.
  • You’d like to improve the product, but the manufacturer isn’t interested in doing this
  • Would it make sense (cents) to buy the equipment and make it yourself with better quality?

Create decision trees using the following Scenario Information. There are 2 Scenarios;

Scenario A

  • Expected Money Value (EVM) or Expected Value
  • Equipment = $500,000 + 100,000 for training
  • Chances of a good market next year are 60% so chances of a poor market are 40%
  • A good market will yield $1,000,000 in gross revenue; a poor market will yield $200,00 in gross revenue
  • If you continue selling the product as you currently do, a good market will generate $300,000 in gross revenue and a poor market $50,000 in gross revenue. Estimated costs for working with your supplier are $30,000/yr.

Scenario B

  • What if with a higher quality product, the probability for good market increases to 80% and the probability of a good/poor market for purchasing remain the same

14. Application: Demand elasticity and agriculture Consider the market for wheat. The following graph shows the weekly demand for wheat and the weekly supply of wheat. Suppose new farming technology is developed that enables growers to produce more crops with the same resources.
Show the effect this shock has on the market for wheat by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. -a Demand Supply Supply PRICE (Dollars per bushel) Demand 50 1020 30 40 QUANTITY (Millions of bushels)
One of the growers is excited by this advancement because now he can sell more crops, which he believes will increase revenue in this market. As an economics student, you can use elasticities to determine whether this change in price will lead to an increase or decrease in total revenue in this market. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand for wheat between the prices of $10 and $6 per bushel is , which means demand is between these two points. Therefore, you would tell the grower that his claim is , because total revenue will as a result of the technological advancement. Confirm your previous conclusion by calculating total revenue in the wheat market before and after the technological advancement. Enter these values in the following table. Before Technological Advancement After Technological Advancement Total Revenue (Millions of Dollars)

Sandhill Machinery Corporation, a private company following ASPE sold manufacturing equipment for $2,100 each. Each machine carried with it a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. From experience, Sandhill Machinery Corporation determined that each machine sold would average $253 in replacement parts. In 2020, the company sold 1,000 machines. Also in 2020, the company incurred $125,000 in total repair costs (the cost of replacement parts from inventory). Sandhill Machinery Corporation also sold an extended warranty for its machines. For $430, customers could purchase an extended warranty that extended the warranty on the machine for an additional 2 years. 800 of the customers that bought machines also purchased the extended warranty. Assume the revenue is earned evenly over the two-year contract. Using the Revenue Approach, prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the machines and extended warranties. (Ignore any cost of goods sold entry).Using the Revenue Approach, prepare the journal entry to record the warranty costs incurred during 2020.

Using the Revenue Approach, prepare the journal entry to record the year-end adjusting entries at December 31, 2020,for the assurance-type warranties assuming Sandhill’s year-end is December 31. Using the Revenue Approach, prepare the journal entry to record the year-end adjusting entries at December 31, 2022 for the service-type warranties. (Note: assume that the cost of repairs has already been recorded during 2022 and prepare any other adjusting entry needed). (
