Special order carson manufacturing, inc., sells a single product for $36 per unit. at an operating level of 8,000 units, variable costs are $18 per unit and fixed costs $10 per unit. carson has been offered a price of $20 per unit on a special order of 2,000 units by big mart discount stores, which would use its own brand name on the item. if carson accepts the order, material cost will be $3 less per unit than for regular production. however, special stamping equipment costing $4,000 would be needed to process the order; the equipment would then be discarded. assuming that volume remains within the relevant range, prepare an analysis of differential revenue and costs to determine whether carson should accept the special order. use a negative sign with answer to only indicate an income loss from special order; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.

Aeuropean aircraft producer has spent 15 years in developing a new aircraft that would potential threaten long-lasting boeing's dominance (monopoly) in the same class of aircrafts. the new european aircraft gets high marks on all performance measures except noise. because of the noise, the european producers management is concerned that the us government may impose restrictions which would forbid their aircraft to land in some of the american airports. without restrictions the estimated (present discounted) profit would be 125 million usd. with the restrictions the profit would only be 25 million usd. the chances of both outcomes are estimated to be 50-50. management must decide now whether to the cost of redesign program problem and a 60% chance it will fail. should the european aircraft producer start the noise redesign program if they do not have any redesign parts of the aircraft to solve the noise problem. is 25 million usd. there is a 40% chance that redesign will solve the noise additional information than mentioned above? draw the decision tree, indicate probabilities and outcomes of the events * imagine that the company could find out in advance the outcome of the u.s. government's e find the expected value of perfect information about the u.s. government's decision. decision. draw a new decision tree, indicate probabilities and outcomes of the events.
