I experienced lean management at a very large open pit mining operation in the 1980's and 1990's. Part of it was a new theoretically streamlined system for purchase orders. Prior to this introduction, the technical people only had to briefly fill out a hand written form and send it to purchasing where they completed the final form. After the JD Edwards system was introduced, then the entire onus was on the technical person to complete the whole order in its' final form so this resulted in added stress to us and meant more time in the office and less on important field duties.. 

Also,since we had a skeleton crew in mine engineering, I (we) had to do multiple projects which only allowed us to touch lightly on each one and therefore compromise the quality of the work. As primarily a field man, I would need to both plan the work and also carry it out myself in the field and sometimes it was difficult to do both,

Talja [164]

Answer:

r = 0.080528395 = 8.05%

Winner's Prize at 2044:  $ 15,215,114.02

Explanation:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 160

Amount 1,610,000

time: 2015 - 1896 = 119

160 \: (1+ r)^{119} = 1,610,000\\ r = \sqrt[119]{1,610,000 / 160} -1

r = 0.080528395

If the same rate for the winner's prize is being keep by 2044 the winner will get:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 1,610,000.00

time 29.00 (2044 - 2015)

rate 0.08053

1610000 \: (1+ 0.0805283946683808)^{29} = Amount

Amount 15,215,114.02

A watch manufacturer incurs a variable cost of $10 per watch and fixed costs of $400,000. To earn a 25 percent markup on selling
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

$22.50 per unit

Explanation:

Mark -up is the percentage of cost that is earned as profit.

Using mark-up,

Selling price = Total cost + total profit

Total cot = Fixed cost + variable cost

Total costs = $400,000 +  (10× 50,000)

                   = $900,000

Sales revenue = 125%× 900,000

                       = 1,125,000

Selling price per unit = Sales revenue/units

                       =1,125,000/50,000

                     = $22.50 per unit

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a. The optimal pricing strategy will be one-shot Nash equilibrium in which “You” charge low price, “Your Rival” charge low price and then the payoff is ($0, $0)

b. Yes, the anwer will differ becuase it is not possible to sustain the collusive outcome as a Nash equilibrium because \pi ^{Cheat} > \pi ^{Cooperate}.

Explanation:

a. Determine your optimal pricing strategy if you and your rival believe that the new Highlander is a "special edition" that will be sold only for one year.

Note: See the attached excel file for the Representation of one shot normal for of the game played between "You" and "Your Rival" together with the payoffs.

From the attached excel file, the dominant strategy is for “You” and “Your Rival” to charge “Low Price” each. If the dominant strategy is played by “You” and “Your Rival”, the optimal pricing strategy will be one-shot Nash equilibrium in which “You” charge low price, “Your Rival” charge low price and then the payoff is ($0, $0).

b. Would your answer differ if you and your rival were required to resubmit price quotes year after year and if, in any given year, there was a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander? Explain.

When we have a year-after-year competition between “You” and “Your Rival” but with a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander, the payoffs of the firm that continue to comply with the collusive strategy of charging “High Price” by each firm under the normal trigger strategy whereby “You” and “Your Rival” agree to charge high price as long as there is no past deviation by any of the firm, otherwise charge a low price is as follows:

\pi ^{Cooperate} = $6 + $6(100% - 60%) + $6(100% - 60%)^2 + 6(100% - 60%)^2 …….

\pi ^{Cooperate} = $6 / 6% = $10

Therefore, what the firm that cheats earn today is $11 million and it earns $0 forever. The implication of this is that \pi ^{Cheat} = $11

Therefore, the anwer will differ becuase it is not possible to sustain the collusive outcome as a Nash equilibrium because \pi ^{Cheat} > \pi ^{Cooperate}.
