The Getz Products Company is investigating the possibility of producing and marketing backyard storage sheds. Undertaking this project would require the construction of either a large or small manufacturing plant. The market for the product produced – storage sheds - could be either favorable or unfavorable. Getz, of course, has the option of not developing the product at all.

With a favorable market, a large facility would give Getz a net profit of $200,000. If the market is unfavorable, a $180,000 net loss would occur. A small plant would result in a net profit of $100,000 in a favorable market, but a net loss of $20,000 would be encountered if the market was unfavorable.

Getz Products’ POM manager believes that the probability of a favorable market is the same as that of an unfavorable market (.50/.50)

Suppose that Getz could have their marketing department perform a survey at a cost of $10,000. Getz would then use the results of the survey to decide whether to build a large plant or a small plant, or not to build at all

If the company decides not to conduct the survey, the probabilities and payoffs given previously apply.

If the company decides to conduct the survey, it will result in either a favorable or unfavorable forecast.

If the forecast is favorable, the probability of the market actually being favorable is 0.78, the probability of the market being unfavorable is 0.22. If a large plant is then built, the final result would be a net profit of $190,000 with a favorable market and a net loss of $190,000 with an unfavorable market. If a small plant is built, the final result would be a net profit of $90,000 with a favorable market and a net loss of $30,000 with an unfavorable market. If no plant is built the net loss will be $10,000 (the cost of the forecast survey).

If the forecast is unfavorable, the probability of the market actually being favorable is 0.27, the probability of the market being unfavorable is 0.73. The final results would be the same as above: if a large plant is then built, the final result would be a net profit of $190,000 with a favorable market and a net loss of $190,000 with an unfavorable market. If a small plant is built, the final result would be a net profit of $90,000 with a favorable market and a net loss of $30,000 with an unfavorable market. If no plant is built the net loss will be $10,000 (the cost of the forecast survey).

We estimate the probability of a favorable survey to be 0.45 and the probability of an unfavorable survey to be 0.55.

Draw and Solve a Decision Tree to determine the best plan for Getz.

A cylindrical can is to be built to occupy a volume of 5000m3. The top and bottom of the cylinder cost $500/m2, wheras the cost to build the wall of the cylinder is $300/m2. Also, the top of the cylinder is to have a circular hole that will occupy 1/4 of the top area. Find the dimensions, to 2 decimal places, of the cylinder to minimize the cost. What is the cost, rounded to the nearest hundred, to build the cylinder?

1. A real estate developer is assessing an area for future retail development. She believes it is only profitably to develop a retail outlet in this area if a medical facility or industrial facility is built in the general vicinity within the next 5 years. Typically industrial facilities precede the development of medical facilities. Using this knowledge and some market research, she has arrived at the following probabilities. The overall probability that an industrial facility will be built in the area in the next 5 years is 30%. If the industrial facility is built, she believe the probability that the medical facility is built is 40%. If the industrial facility is not built, she believes the probability that the medical facility will be built goes down to 20%. What is the probability of the following events?

a) neither am industrial facility or medical facility is built

b) only an industrial facility is built

c) only a medical facility is built

d) both an industrial facility and a medical facility is built

e) She also has arrived at the following net present values for her retail development project based on the 4 events above. Given these outcomes and the probabilities you calculated above, what is her expected NPV? Should she do the project?

EVENT NPV
neither a industrial facility or medical facility is built -10 Million
only an industrial facility is built 5 million
only a medical facility is built 3 million
both an industrial facility and a medical facility is built 20 million

f. Our real estate developer has learned that the probability that an industrial facility is built in the next 5 years has risen from 30% to 90%. Based on this, rework the problem and provide the new expected NPV of the project. Should she do the project?
