he product design group of Iyengar Electric Supplies, Inc., has determined that it needs to design a new series of switches. It must decide on one of three design strategies. The market forecast is for 200,000 units. The better and more sophisticated the design strategy and the more time spent on value engineering, the less will be the variable cost. The chief of engineering design, Dr. W. L. Berry, has decided that the following costs are a good estimate of the initial and variable costs connected with each of the three strategies: Low-Tech: A low-technology, low-cost process consisting of hiring several new junior engineers. This option has a fixed cost of $45,000 and variable cost probabilities of 0.3 for $0.55, each, 0.4 for $0.50, and 0.3 for $0.45. Subcontract: A medium-cost approach using a good outside design staff. This approach would have a fixed cost of $65,000 and variable cost probabilities of .7 for $0.45, 0.2 for $0.40, and 0.1 for $0.35. High-tech: A high-technology approach using the very best of the inside staff and the latest computer-aided design technology. This approach has a fixed cost of $75,000 and variable cost probabilities of 0.9 for $0.40 and 0.1 for $0.35. What is the expected monetary value associated with the best (least expensive) decision

Rate of return, standard deviation, coefficient of variation personal finance problem mike is searching for a stock to include in his current stock portfolio. he is interested in hi-tech inc.; he has been impressed with the company's computer products and believes hi-tech is an innovative market player. however, mike realizes that any time you consider a technology stock, risk is a major concern. the rule he follows is to include only securities with a coefficient of variation of returns below 1.07. mike has obtained the following price information for the period 2015 through 2018:hi-tech stock, being growth-oriented, did not pay any dividends during these 4 years. a. calculate the rate of return for each year, 2015 through 2018, for hi-tech stock. b. assume that each year's return is equally probable and calculate the average return over this time period. c. calculate the standard deviation of returns over the past 4 years. (hint: treat this data as a sample.) d. based on b and c determine the coefficient of variation of returns for the security. e. given the calculation in d what should be mike's decision regarding the inclusion of hi-tech stock in his portfolio?
