The management of First American Bank was concerned about the potential loss that might occur in the event of a physical catastrophe such as a power failure or a fire. The bank estimated that the loss from one of these incidents could be as much as $100 million, including losses due to interrupted service and customer relations. One project the bank is considering is the installation of an emergency power generator at its operations headquarters. The cost of the emergency generator is $800,000, and if it is installed, no losses from this type of incident will be incurred. However, if the generator is not installed, there is a 10% chance that a power outage will occur during the next year. If there is an outage, there is a .05 probability that the resulting losses will be very large, or approximately $80 million in lost earnings. Alternatively, it is estimated that there is a .95 probability of only slight losses of around $1 million. Using decision tree analysis, determine whether the…

A rough rule of thumb for the chemical industry is that OMR 1 of annual sales required OMR 2 of fixed capital investment. In a chemical processing plant where this rule applies, the total capital investment is OMR 3200000 and the working capital is 18% of the total capital investment. The annual net total product cost amounts to 1500000 OMR. If the income tax rates on gross earnings total 21%, determine the following: (a) Percent of total capital investment returned annually as gross earning. (b) Percent of total capital investment returned annually as net profit.
