A machine can be in two states at the end of each day: Operational (State 1) or Down (State 2). The transition matrix P for moving from one day to the next is shown below. If the machine is 100% Operational today (Day 0), what is the exact probability that it will be Down on Day 2?

In a complex PERT network, Activity M takes 8 weeks to complete and connects Event 4 to Event 5. Event 4 has an Early Time of 10 weeks and a Last Time of 12 weeks. Event 5 has an Early Time of 20 weeks and a Last Time of 20 weeks. If an unforeseen supply chain issue delays Activity M by exactly 3 weeks (making its duration 11 weeks), what is the direct consequence on the project?

A financial analyst is evaluating an industrial project with a specific estimated raw cash flow (Q3) expected in Year 3. The company’s cost of capital is K, and the expected inflation rate is g. According to the course formulas, there are two ways to account for inflation when calculating Present Value. Which of the following mathematical operations will yield the correct Present Value for this specific Year 3 cash flow?

A factory utilizes a closed loop of N=10 Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). They occasionally break down and queue for a single repair station. The breakdown rate per AGV is lambda = 1 per day, and the mechanic's repair rate is mu = 4 per day. The probability of having 0 AGVs in the repair system is given as P0 = 0.50. Using the limited customer number model, what is the average number of AGVs currently in the total repair system (waiting + being repaired)?

A supply chain manager uses the EOQ method with variable supply costs. The standard price is c1, but a discounted price c2 is available if the order quantity exceeds a threshold h. The manager calculates the optimal standard EOQ (Q) and finds it is 500 units. The supplier's threshold h is 600 units. The manager then calculates the intersection point a (where total costs at standard and discounted prices are equal, y1(Q) = y2(a)) and finds a = 700 units. What is the strictly optimal order quantity to minimize total costs?

An industrial robotics firm is planning a massive expansion. Currently, their Return on Investments (RoI) is exactly 6.5%. The Financial Department secures a long-term loan to fund the expansion, which carries an interest rate (Ki) of exactly 6.5%. The expansion will triple the company's Debt (D) while Equity (E) remains unchanged. Assuming the core operations maintain the same RoI after expansion, how will this massive increase in debt impact the company's Return on Equity (RoE)?
