Howard Weiss, Inc,. is considering building a sensitive new radiation scanning device. His managers believe that there is a prob

ability of 0.35 that the ATR Co. will come out with a competitive product. If Weiss adds an assembly line for the product and ATR Co. does not follow with a competitive product, Weiss's expected profti is $60,000; If Weiss adds an assembly line and ATR follows suit, Weiss still expects $20,000 profit. If Weiss adds a new plant addition and ATR does not produce a competitive product, Weiss expects a profit of $600,000; if ATR does compete for this market, Weiss expects a loss of $120,000.
a) Expected value for the Add Assembly Line Option=

Expected value for the Build New Plant option=

Answer:

<u>Consider the following information</u>

Probability of ATR coming up with a competitive product is 0.35

If ATR does not come up with a competitive product and H adds an assembly line, the profit is $60,000

If it adds an assembly line and ATR adds the product, the profit is $20,000

If H adds a new assembly but ATR does not come up with a competitive product, the profit is $600,000

If ATR does not enter the market, the loss for H is $120,000

<u>A) Expected value for the add assembly line option: </u>

The company would get a profit of $60,000 if ATR does not come up with a competitive product. If ATR comes up with a competitive product and H adds an assembly line, the profit is $20,000.

Probability of not coming up with a product is 0.65 (1-0.35)

Calculate the value if it does not come up with a new product line and H adds an assembly line as follows:

Value if it does not come up with a new product = 0.65 x $60,000

= $39,000

Calculate the value if it comes up with a new product line and H adds an assembly line as follows:

Value if it does come up with a new product = 0.35 x $20, 000  = $7,000

Calculate the expected value as follows:  

Expected value = S39000 + $7000

Expected value =$46,000

<u>Expected value for build new plant option: </u>

If H adds a new assembly but ATR does not come up with a competitive product, the profit is $600,000

If ATR does not enter the market, the loss for H is $120,000

Calculate the value if H adds a new assembly but ATR does not come up with a competitive product as follows:

Value if it does not come up with a new product = 0.65 x $600000

= $390, 000

Calculate the value if ATR does not enter the market:

Value if it does not compete in market = 0.35 x -$120000  = -$42, 000

Calculate the expected value as follows:  

Expected value= $390,000 - $42,000

Expected value =$348,000

The expected value of building a plant is more than the expected value of adding product line. Therefore, the best alternative is to build the plant.

<u>B) Calculation of expected value of perfect information (EVPI): </u>

EVPI = 0.65 x $600,000 + 0.35 x $120,000

EVPI = $390,000 + $42,000

EVPI =$432,000

<u>Calculation of value of return: </u>

Value of return = Value of perfect information - Maximum EMV

Value of return =$432,000 - 348,000

Value of return =$84,000

An automobile factory in Michigan uses $100,000 worth of parts purchased from foreign countries along with U.S. inputs to produc
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Total value added to the GDP is $500,000.

Explanation:

Given that,

Automobile factory uses parts that are purchased from foreign countries = $100,000

Total cars produce = 30

Price of each car = $20,000

Total cars sold = 20

Left in inventory = 10

Therefore,

Addition to GDP:

= Total value of car produced - Imports(parts purchased from foreign countries)

= (Selling price of each car × Total cars produced) - $100,000

= ($20,000 × 30) - $100,000

= $600,000 - $100,000

= $500,000

Hence, total value added to the GDP is $500,000.
