IOP's product is manufactured using a production process that is known to have a defect rate of 10%.

IOP's quality control department has developed a test that has a 98% probability of classifying a non-defective item correctly and a 2% probability of classifying a non-defective item as defective.

The same test has a 95% probability of classifying a defective item correctly and a 5% probability of classifying a defective item as non-defective.

Calculate the proportion of IOP's output that will be classified as non-defective by the quality control department's test.

Give your answer to one decimal place.

A company has a cost of capital of 12% and a maximum of $20 million to invest. It has identified three possible investment projects, none of which is divisible, as follows.

Which project(s) should the company invest in?

An investment centre manager is considering the purchase of a new machine. If purchased, the new machine would replace an existing one that is used to manufacture one of the investment centre's existing products.

The new machine would incur $800 per month additional running costs; this includes $300 per month of additional depreciation.

The new machine would save on direct labor time. This means that the fixed production overhead absorbed by the product on the basis of direct labor hours would reduce by $100 per month.

What is the total cost of the above that is relevant to the decision to purchase the machine?
