Many critics of the Foster’s Group Ltd takeover of Southcorp Ltd cited a strategic error in judgement of the Foster’s Group Ltd board. Foster’s Group Ltd also took on significant debt to purchase American wine interests. Their main concerns were firstly, that the board paid too much and secondly, that the wine and market operates differently to the beer market. Just because both are alcohol-based products does not mean they are similar to operate. Commentators believed that the beer business was a good cash business and one that is generally robust in down times. (People still like their beer even in recessions.) However, the wine market was more competitive and had an overabundance of supply that would make it hard for the Foster’s Group Ltd to strategically brand. The investment in the wine businesses would also take leadership time away from the beer business as the Foster’s Group Ltd spent time on growing the wine business. Approximately five years after the Southcorp Ltd takeover the Foster’s Group Ltd entered into a scheme of arrangement to demerge the beer business from the wine business. In May 2011, shareholders in Foster’s Group Ltd received one share in Treasury Wine Estates (the new company for the wine business) for every three shares they held in Foster’s Group Ltd. Following the split, the Foster’s Group Ltd assumed most of the debt. Below is some financial information regarding Foster’s Group Ltd at takeover and demerger times.

Melanie is the manager of the Clean Machine car wash and has gathered the following information....

Melanie is the manager of the Clean Machine car wash and has gathered the following information. Customers arrive at a rate of eight per hour according to a Poisson distribution. The car washer can service an average of ten cars per hour with service times described by an ex- ponential distribution. Melanie is concerned about the number of customers waiting in line. She has asked you to calculate the following system characteristics:

(a) Average system utilization 8/10=0.8= 80%

(b) Average number of customers in the system 8/(10-8)=8/2= 4

(c) Average number of customers waiting in line 8^2/10(10-8)= 64/20= 3.2 customers


2. Melanie realizes that how long the customer must wait is also very important. She is also concerned about customers balking when the waiting line is too long. Using the arrival and service rates in Problem 1, she wants you to calculate the following system characteristics:

(a) The average time a customer spends in the system 1/(10-8)= ½ hours

(b) The average time a customer spends waiting in line0.8/(10-8)= 0.8/2 = 0.4 hours

(c) The probability of having more than three customers in the system 0.8^3 =0.512

(d) The probability of having more than four customers in the system 0.8^4 =0.4096

If Melanie adds an additional server at Clean Machine car wash, the service rate changes to an average of 16 cars per hour. The customer arrival rate is 10 cars per hour. Melanie has asked you to calculate the following system characteristics:
(a) Average system utilization
(b) Average number of customers in the system

(c) Average number of customers waiting in line

Melanie is curious to see the difference in waiting times for customers caused by the additional server added in Problem 3. Calculate the following system characteristics for her :

(a) The average time a customer spends in the system

(b) The average time a customer spends waiting in line

(c) The probability of having more than three customers in the system

(d) The probability of having more than four customers in the system

After Melanie added another car washer at Clean Machine (service rate is an average of 16 customers per hour), business improved. Melanie now estimates that the arrival rate is 12 customers per hour. Given this new information, she wants you to calculate the fol- lowing system characteristics:

(a) Average system utilization

(b) Average number of customers in the system

(c) Average number of customers waiting in line

As usual, Melanie then requested you to calculate sys- tem characteristics concerning customer time spent in the system.

(a) Calculate the average time a customer spends in the system.

(b) Calculate the average time a customer spends waiting in line.

(c) Calculate the probability of having more than four customers in the system.

A machine purchased 3 years ago for $140,000 is now too slow to satisfy the demand of the customers. It can be upgraded now for $77,000 or sold to a smaller company internationally for $38,000. The upgraded machine will have an annual operating cost of $93,000 per year and a $28,000 salvage value in 3 years. If upgraded, the presently owned machine will be retained for only 3 more years, then replaced with a machine to be used in the manufacture of several other product lines. The replacement machine, which will serve the company now and for a maximum of 8 years, costs $208,000. Its salvage value will be $42,000 for years 1 through 5; $20,000 after 6 years; and $10,000 thereafter. It will have an estimated operating cost of $45,000 per year. Perform an economic analysis at 9% per year using a specified 3-year planning horizon.

a) Determine if the current machine should be replaced now or 3 years from now.

b) Once decided, determine the equivalent AW for the next three years.

a) The current machine should be replaced  (Click to select)  

A. now .
