2. The XYZ Company has a choice between two warehouses. A lease at location A costs $1000 per month with a payment of $2000 up front to guarantee the 3 year lease. Location B would cost $1100 per month and would be leased from month to month. The anticipated revenue in either location is $1500 per month. The estimated rate of return is 10% per year. Using net present value, determine which location would be the better choice.
3. A manufacturer of industrial sales has production capacity of 1,000 units per day. Currently, the firm sells production capacity for $12 per unit. At this price, all production capacity gets booked about one week in advance. A group of customers have said that they would be willing to pay $20 per unit if capacity was available on the last day. About ten days in advance, demand for the high-price segment is normally distributed with a mean of 250 and a standard deviation of 100. How much production capacity should the manufacturer reserve for the last day?
