1. Rafael’s Taco Hut has determined that its production facility has a design capacity of 525 tacos per day. The effective capacity, however, is 425 tacos per day.

2. Cathy’s Cake Bakery can comfortably produce 100 cakes in one day. If Cathy takes some unusual measures, such as hiring her two sisters to help in the kitchen and work overtime, she can produce up to 200 cakes in one day.

b. If Cathy is currently producing 105 cakes, compute the capacity utilization for both measures. What can you conclude?
3. Demand for more wildlife has grown at Wally’s Wildlife Reserve, and it is considering expanding. One option is to expand by purchasing property next to the reserve that will be able to meet expected future demand. Another option is to expand the current reserve by a small amount now and take a wait-and-see attitude, with the possibility of a larger expansion in two years
Management has estimated the following chances for demand:
· The likelihood of demand being high is 0.70
· The likelihood of demand being low is 0.20
Profits for each alternative have been estimated as follows:
· Large expansion has an estimated profitability of either $45,000 or $20,000, depending on whether demand turns out to be high or low.
· Small expansion has a profitability of $10,000, assuming that demand is low.
· Small expansion with an occurrence of high demand would require considering whether to expand further. If the company expands at that point, the profitability is expected to be $30,000. If it does not expand further, the profitability is expected to be $7,000.
a. Draw a decision tree diagram for Wally’s Wildlife Reserve.
b. Solve the decision tree you developed. What should Wally’s Wildlife Reserve do?
