A firm has to decide whether to (1). stay with current machine as it is (2). upgrade it with an enhancement or (3). buy a new machine.  Cost of upgrade is $1000, and the cost of a new machine is $8000.  Revenues are estimated as follows, based on the performance of the economy next year:

It is estimated that the probability of a stagnant economy next year is 0.51 (so probability of a growth economy is 1 - 0.51).

If a new machine is purchased, and if there is a growth economy next year, what is the estimated payoff?  (= revenue - cost of new machine)

A company has the following data:

• Revenue (Price x Quantity) = $750,000

• Variable cost per unit = $65

• Units sold (Quantity) = 5,000

• Total costs = $625,000

• The company has no semi-variable costs

The company will open a new branch that will increase its fixed costs by $125,000.

Determine the following:

a) Price of each unit.

b) Total variable cost.

c) Total fixed costs before the new branch.

d) Total fixed costs after the new branch.

e) Total costs after the new branch. f) Breakeven quantity after the new branch.

1.) Your employer is opening a new location, and the IT director has assigned you the task of calculating the subnet numbers for the new LAN. You’ve determined that you need 10 subnets for the class C network beginning with the network ID 192.168.1.0. How many host bits will you need to use for network information in the new subnets?

2.) After the subnetting is complete, how many unused subnets will be waiting on hold for future expansion, and how many possible hosts can each subnet contain?

3.) What is the new subnet mask?

4.) What is the new CIDR notation?

Transplant operations have become routine. One common transplant operation is for kidneys. The most dangerous aspect of the procedure is the possibility that the body may reject the new organ. There are several new drugs available for such circumstances and the earlier the drug is administered, the higher the probability of averting rejection. The New England Journal of Medicine recently reported the development of a new urine test to detect early warning signs that the body is rejecting a transplanted kidney. However, like most other tests, the new test is not perfect. In fact, 20% of negative tests and 5% of positive tests prove to be incorrect. Physicians know that in about 31% of kidney transplants the body tries to reject the organ. If the new test has a positive result (indicating early warning of rejection), what is the probability that the body is attempting to reject the kidney?

The New England Journal of Medicine recently reported the development of a new urine test to detect early warning signs that the body is rejecting a transplanted kidney. However, like most other tests, the new test is not perfect. In fact, 20% of negative tests and 9% of positive tests prove to be incorrect. Physicians know that in about 32% of kidney transplants the body tries to reject the organ. If the new test has a positive result (indicating early warning of rejection), what is the probability that the body is attempting to reject the kidney?
