custom-designed home, FD, the prime contractor, realized he was not going to make the big profit that he had anticipated due to the many unique features of the home for which he had not correctly estimated the cost to the owners. The contract was fixed-price with no more than 10% override on the total cost. As time proceeded, FD took the choices of the owners on appliances, finishing work on the floors and walls, and many other features and purchased look-alike substitutes from questionable-quality, internationallybased manufacturers and vendors. After living in the house for only 3 years, the owners were so disappointed with the quality of work that they decided to bring a law suit against FD and his company for breach of contract. However, they needed sound reasons upon which to base their legal claims against FD, were the case to go to court. One of the owners, being an engineer, decided to consult the Code of Ethics for Engineers to gain insight into what may be substantial…
The owner of the AnJ Theater is considering two proposals for upgrading the parking ramps. The first proposal involves asphalt paving of the entire parking area. The initial cost of this proposal would be $ 35000, and it would require annual maintenance of $250 beginning 3 years after installation. The owner expects to have to resurface the theater in 10 years. Resurfacing will cost only $8000, since grading and surface preparation are not necessary, but the $250 annual maintenance cost will continue.
Alternatively, gravel can be purchased and spread in the drive areas and grass planted in the parking areas. The owner estimates that 29 metric tons of gravel will be needed per year starting 1 year from now at a cost of $90 per metric ton. In addition, a riding lawn mower, which will cost $2500 and have a life of 10 years, will be needed now. The cost of labor for spreading gravel, cutting grass, etc., is expected to be $900 the first year, $950 the second year and will increase by $50…

- Gelateria Ltd, uses an old family recipe for chocolate ice cream to start up their own ice cream company. They figure out that they can produce and sell this ice cream at a unit cost of 30p per scoop. Luckily, they can strike a deal with the University of Portsmouth to be their exclusive ice cream retailer on campus. 2,000 of the university's students would potentially buy one scoop of ice cream each per day over the summer, 1,000 of whom would be willing to pay up to 80p per scoop of this particular ice cream and 1,000 even £1.2 per scoop. а) What is the optimal uniform price for this chocolate ice cream? How much profit will Gelateria make at this price? In an attempt to further increase their profit, they conduct some market research which yields the result that the students with high willingness to pay would be willing to pay even up to £2 per scoop if they used organic chocolate. However, the other students' willingness to pay for this higher quality would only be slightly higher…arrow_forwardSince many U.S. Navy aircraft are at or near their usual retirement age of 30 years, military officials want a precise system to assess when aircraft should be taken out of service. A computational method developed at Carnegie Mellon maps in 3-D the microstructure of aircraft materials in their present state so that engineers can test them under different conditions of moisture, salt, dirt, etc. Military officials can then determine if an aircraft is fine, is in need of overhaul, or should be retired. If the 3-D system allows the Navy to use one airplane 2 years longer than it normally would have been used, thereby delaying the purchase of a $20 million aircraft for 2 years, what is the present worth of the assessment system at an interest rate of 8% per year?arrow_forwardBreak-Even Point Hilton Enterprises selis a product for $119 per unit.

The continuous flow process was previously determined to have Its lowest cost over a 5-year life cycle, but the batch process can be used from 3 to 10 years. If selecting the batch process is sensitive to its useful life, what is the minimum life that makes It more attractive? The batch system will be less expensive than the continuous flow if it lasts over years.arrow_forwardA manufacturing company produced 40,000 boxes of a product that sold for OMR 3 per box.
