Answer:
790,000, i.e. $79 x 10,000= 790,000
. Yes, the manufacturer should change the design. 666,667 (when it goes from 1/10,000 to 1/15,000). It is 500,000 (when it goes from 1/10,000 but 1/20,000)
. No, the benevolent social planner would not agree with the manufacturer's decision.
Explanation:
In the estimates provided by the manufacturer, the total cost of the design is equivalent to $79 x 10,000= 790,000. There should be an alteration in the design to remove the necessary precautions. If the probability is different from the estimate provided by the manufacturer, the planner will disagree with the decision made by the manufacturer. For example, a change to 1/15000 will make the total cost to be approximately $666,667.

Answer:
The answer is: Longer lead times and they can be inventoried.
Explanation:
Physical goods or products usually have longer lead times than services (although not necessarily) but the main difference between them is that they can be inventoried.
For example, a company that produces chairs can produce chairs during the week and then store them in a warehouse. But if a hotel only rents 30 of its 50 available rooms today, it cannot rent 80 rooms tomorrow, only 50. A service by definition cannot be inventoried, or stored for later use.
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
The expected return is a weighted average of the returns given the probability of certain states of the economy:
= (Prob. of boom * return if boom) + (Prob. of normal * return if normal) + (Prob. of weak * return if weak)
= (20% * 35%) + (50% * 14%) + (30% * -20%)
= 0.07 + 0.07 - 0.06
= 8%
