The University of Miami bookstore stocks textbooks in preparation for sales each semester. It normally relies on departmental forecasts and preregistration records to determine how many copies of a text are needed. Preregistration shows 85 operations management students enrolled, but bookstore manager Vaidy Jayaraman has second thoughts, based on his intuition and some historical evidence. Vaidy believes that the distribution of sales may range from 65 to 85 units, according to the following probability model: Demand Probability 65 0.10 Stock 70 0.30 65 This textbook costs the bookstore $82 and sells for $112. Any unsold copies can be returned to the publisher, less a restocking fee and shipping, for a net refund of $30. a) Based on the given information, Vaidy's conditional profits table for the bookstore is: 65 p=0.10 75 0.20 70 p=0.30 80 0.10 Demand 75 p=0.20 80 p = 0.10 85 p=0.30 85 0.30

true or false Some speculative risks are insurable (T) The possibility of not meeting the annual sales target of one million dollar set by the top management is an example of strategic risk. ABC Insurance Company plans to sell fire insurance in Kedah. ABC expects that eight buildings out of every 100, on average, will report claims each year. The variation between the loss that ABC expects to occur and the loss that actually occurs can be measured by range, variance, standard deviation or coefficient of variation A total loss to the car that could happen to a driver as a result of a collision is an example of pure risk.
