Consider a manufacturer of perfume who is about to expand production capacity to make a new product. Three alternative production processes are available. The following table shows the estimated profits (in $) for these processes for each of the three possible demand levels for the product.Alternatives                                             States of NatureLow demand Moderate demand High demandA 100,000 350,000 900,000B 150,000 400,000 700,000C 250,000 400,000 600,000Based on the above information, what would be the amount of regret, if alternative production process B is selected by the manufacturer and suppose that the level of demand turns out to be low?

Suppose a small business investor has a certain amount of money available to invest now. Four alternative investments are available. Th estimated profits of each investment under each economic condition are indicated in the following table. Alternatives States of Nature S1 S2 S3 S4 A1 $170 $45 -$60 $100 A2 $30 $190 $175 -$65 A3 $145 -$50 $120 $110 A4 -$40 $80 $10 $70 Based on the above information, what would be the amount of regret, if alternative A1 is selected by the investor and suppose that the state of nature turns out to be S4? Note: don't insert the dollar sign ($) when answering the question.

Multiple Choice QuestionA manufacturing company currently produces 1,000 units of a product at a cost of $5,000. The units sell for $7,000. Alternatively, the company can process the units further to produce a refined product that will sell for $10,000. The additional processing will cost $4,000. The company should:Multiple choice question.sell as is because processing further will reduce income by $6,000process further because net incremental income will be $1,000process further because net incremental income will be $6,000sell as is because the incremental income of selling as is versus processing further will increase income by $1,000

Company A calculated the following information under traditional and activity-based costing for the production and sale of 1,000 units of Product B:  Traditional ABCSales $100,000 $100,000Cost of goods sold $70,000 $110,000Gross margin $30,000 ($10,000)Which decision should be made about the selling price of Product B? The number of production batches of Product B should be increased. Traditional costing should be used instead of activity-based costing. The price of Product B should be increased. The price of Product B should be decreased.
