Decision-Making Process

or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
What makes this choice phase so difficult is that the criteria are
probably not all equally important, and no one alternative is “best”
with regard to all criteria. When faced with a multicriteria decision
problem, the third step in the decision-making process often
includes an assessment of the relative importance of the criteria.
Although we will present a method for dealing with situations like
this one later in the text, for now let us suppose that after a careful
evaluation of the data in Table 1.1, you decide to select alternative
3. Alternative 3 is thus referred to as the decision.

Models of Cost, Revenue, and Profit
Mathematical Model
• The total monthly profit =
(profit per unit of product 1)
x (monthly production of product 1)
+ (profit per unit of product 2)
x (monthly production of product 2)
= p1x1 + p2x2
We want to maximize total monthly profit:
Max p1x1 + p2x2

Question:
Suppose b = 2000, a1 = 2, a2 = 3, m = 60, u = 720,
p1 = 100, and p2 = 200. Rewrite the model with these
specific values for the uncontrollable inputs.
Answer:
Substituting, the model is:
Question:
The optimal solution to the current model is x1 =
60 and x2 = 626 2/3. If the product were engines,
explain why this is not a true optimal solution for the
"real-life" problem.
Answer:
One cannot produce and sell 2/3 of an engine.
Thus the problem is further restricted by the fact that
both x1 and x2 must be integers. (They could remain
fractions if it is assumed these fractions are work in
progress to be completed the next month.)

Question:
Identify all costs and denote the variable cost
(marginal cost) and marginal revenue for each
cottage.
Answer:
The monthly salaries total $35,000 and monthly
office lease and supply costs total another $5,000.
This $40,000 is a monthly fixed cost.
The total cost of land, material, labor, and sales
commission per cottage, $105,000, is the marginal
cost for a cottage.
The selling price of $115,000 is the marginal
revenue per cottage.

Question:
Write the monthly cost function c(x), revenue
function r(x), and profit function p(x).
Answer:
c(x) = variable cost * the quantity + fixed cost
= 105,000 * x + 40,000
r(x) = 115,000 * x
p(x) = r(x) - c(x) = 10,000 * x - 40,000

Question:
What is the breakeven point for monthly sales
of the cottages?
Answer:
r(x ) = c(x )
115,000x = 105,000x + 40,000
Solving, x = 4 cottages.

Question:
What is the monthly profit if 12 cottages per
month are built and sold?
Answer:
p(12) = 10,000(12) - 40,000 = $80,000 monthly profit

Question:
What is the breakeven point for monthly sales
of the cottages?
Spreadsheet Solution:
• One way to determine the break-even point using a
spreadsheet is to use the Goal Seek tool.
• Microsoft Excel ‘s Goal Seek tool allows the user to
determine the value for an input cell that will cause
the output cell to equal some specified value.
• In our case, the goal is to set Total Profit to zero by
seeking an appropriate value for Sales Volume.
