Solution

1.Hotel’s cost structure          Indications in percentage(%)

Revenue                                     $ 2,000,000                          (100)

Less: Variable expenses            $ 1,300,000                            65

                                                    --------------------

Contribution margin                       $700,000                            

Less: Fixed expenses                   $560,000                            28

                                                    ---------------------

Net income                                       $140,000                            7

2.Revenue declines by 30 percent

Revenue                                     $ 1,400,000                    

Less: Variable expenses               $910,000                                                                                    

                                                   ---------------------

Contribution margin                       $490,000                  

Less: Fixed expenses                   $392,000                          

                                                    ---------------------

Net income                                       $98,000          

3.Operating leverage factor when revenue is $2,000,000    

       Operating leverage =    Contribution/ Net income

                                             

4.Operating leverage factor when increase in revenue by 25 percent  

increase in revenue by 25 percent=

increase in contribution by 25 percent=

increase in net income by 25 percent  =                                                  

       Operating leverage =    Contribution/ Net income

                                         

In my opinion, the labor market represents the nominal marketplace where job seekers find employment opportunities, employers discover willing laborers, and wage rates are established. 

Answer:

a) the small bus

b) the medium or large bus

c) the small bus

Explanation:

a) using the maximin criterion, the manager aims to maximize the least possible profit (a pessimistic approach), which results in the following profits:

Bus size Demand

Low Medium High

Small 50 60 70 → minimum profit = 50

Medium 40 80 90 → minimum profit = 40

Large 20 50 120 → minimum profit = 20

Thus, the optimal choice yielding the highest minimum profit is the small bus.

b) applying the maximin criterion, the manager will seek to minimize potential maximum losses, determining losses based on the best profit scenario:

Bus size Demand

Low Medium High

Small 0 -20 -50 → maximum loss = -50

Medium -10 0 -30 → maximum loss = -30

Large -30 -30 0 → maximum loss = -30

Hence, the option that bears the least maximum loss is either the medium or large bus.

c) for calculating the expected value of each option:

small = 30/100*50 + 30/100*60 + 40/100*70 = 61

medium = 30/100*40 + 30/100*80 + 40/100*90 = 72

large = 30/100*20 + 30/100*50 + 40/100*120 = 69

The small bus turns out to be the best choice, as it has the highest expected profit.

The correct choice is A. The Mars Climate Orbiter met with disaster on Mars's surface because one program calculated thrust in foot-pounds while another anticipated it in newtons. The Mars Climate Orbiter, part of NASA’s Mars Surveyor '98 initiative, failed in its mission to analyze the Martian climate. Designed as a satellite to relay information for the Mars Polar Lander, after that lander malfunctioned, it was meant to continue studying Martian weather patterns. The orbiter was lost when a navigation error caused it to enter an orbit too low, leading to its destruction from atmospheric stresses. An inquiry revealed that some thrust data were computed in English units while the navigation team was using SI units.
