Question 6 – 8 refer to prospect H and K below

? = ($100, 0.4; $200, 0.6) ? = ($120, ?; $300, 1 − ?)

6. ?V(?) = ?V(?). What value of p makes this statement true?

7. Carol owns prospect H and is interested in selling it. Her utility of wealth function is given by ?(?) = ?^0.5. What is the lowest price for which Carol would be willing to sell prospect H?

8. True or False: The lowest value of K is greater than the lowest value of H, and the highest value of K is greater than the highest value of H, so everyone – regardless of risk preferences – will prefer K to H.

Set-ups N$ 800 90

Inspection N$ 65 500

Other data:

Total fixed costs (traditional) N$900 000

Total fixed costs (ABC) N$450 000

If the company reduces the setup costs by N$100 per set up and reduces the number of inspections needed to 400, how many units must be sold to break even?

A company produces 100 items of Product X and 1500 items of Product Y. Someone suggested to the management to try and focus on producing only one product instead of two. The Management is not sure which product would be more viable for them to produce as they currently adopt a Traditional Costing system, hence both products have the same cost price. You were asked to suggest an alternative way of computing costs, thus being able to direct the Management Team as to which product it would be more viable to produce and thus maximize profits. Discuss further. You may include a practical example to substantiate your argument.
