(Three-pаrt prоblem) Grаy Dentistry Services is pаrt оf an HMO that оperates in Chicago. Currently, Gray has its own dental laboratory to produce porcelain and gold crowns. The per-unit costs to produce the crowns are as follows: Porcelain Gold Raw materials $ 60 $ 90 Direct labor 20 20 Variable overhead 5 5 Allocated fixed overhead 22 22 Total $ 107 $ 137 Components of allocated fixed overhead include: Salary for lab supervisor $ 30,000 Equipment book value $ 5,000 Annual rent on lab facility $ 20,000 A local dental laboratory, CrownMaker, has offered to supply Gray all the crowns it needs. CrownMaker’s price is $100 for porcelain crowns and $132 for gold crowns. However, the offer is conditional on supplying both types of crowns ¾ CrownMaker will not supply just one type for the price indicated. If the offer is accepted, the equipment used by Gray's laboratory would be scrapped but not sold (it has only one year of useful life remaining and it has no market value), the rental agreement on the lab facility would be cancelled at no cost, the lab facility would be closed, and all lab employees would be laid off. Gray uses 1,500 porcelain crowns and 1,000 gold crowns per year for its customers, and Gray charges its customers $250 for a porcelain crown and $350 for a gold crown. The amount that Gray charges its own customers for the crowns is __________ to the make-or-buy decision because __________.
(Fоur-pаrt prоblem) Blue Nоte Avenue Records (BNAR) is considering whether to invest in the development аnd releаse of a debut EP by an emerging independent artist. The investment would cover studio time, producers, featured musicians, marketing, PR, and distribution. Based on prior releases, BNAR estimates that the total cost to produce and launch the EP is $300,000. If the EP becomes a breakout hit (a major success)—with viral streaming growth, chart placement, and major-label bidding interest—BNAR estimates it could sell the artist’s recording contract and masters for $1.5 million. If the EP gains modest traction (a moderate success)—including strong streaming numbers, playlist placements, and limited touring interest—BNAR believes it could license the artist’s catalog and brand to a larger label or distributor for $800,000. If the EP fails to gain meaningful audience traction (a failure), BNAR will be unable to recover its investment and will lose the entire development cost. Based on industry experience, BNAR estimates the following probabilities: P(major success)= 0.15 P(moderate success)=0.25 P(failure)=0.60 What is BNAR’s optimal decision (and EMV) using the expected value approach?
