recent FDA rejection. Looking for a much needed cash influx, LAB might be willing to strike a bargain. To evaluate the risks/rewards of the deal we construct a decision tree for Merck. The structure of tree presents a clearer picture of the possible risks and rewards during the comprehensive FDA approval process. Looking at this decision tree in phase 3, perhaps Merck can reduce its risk by pursuing only ‘depression’ even if phase 2 indicates that Davanrik could be efficacious in both ‘depression’

Quantitative Values Project: Homeowner Master Bathroom Remodel To incorporate quantitative values of expected value and probability into the risk management plan for my master bathroom remodel project will be a challenge. The homeowner is taking on the task of trying to do much of the remodel work himself. Hence the risk is related to human failure. Since the homeowner does not have extensive experience in some of the remodeling tasks, there is no history that can be used to calculate failure

334 units, the batch flow production should be used. Question 2. Determine the net income for each of the six demand and production options 2a. Draw an appropriate decision tree. Please refer to the lower half of the decision-tree hardcopy handout. Thanks 2b. To maximize the expected value, what is the production decision . There are three production levels: A. 15,000 units B. 30,000 units C. 40,000 units From Question 1 we know that the break-even volume is 28,334 units.

should they pay? III. What is the expected value of the licensing arrangement to LAB? IV. How would our analysis change if the costs of launching Davanrik for weight loss were $225 million instead of $100 million? In our analysis we will build a decision tree that shows the cash flows and probabilities at all stages of the FDA approval process. We will assume a royalty fee of 5% on the cash flows that Merck receives from Davanrik after successful launch. Analysis Merck is in the business of developing

to gaze upon a massive tree. The tree which I am looking at is very distinguished. This tree is absolutely massive. As I look at the tree, I start to see that are so many different grooves and markings on it. I examine each groove and marking, and I start to become lost while looking at it. As I continue up the tree, I notice all of the branches protruding out from the trunk out of the tree. I then start to examine the leaves on the branches. I have never studied a tree before, but now I understand

pounds. Another very unique species I found in this tropic climate was the Red-Eyed Tree Frog. The thing you may notice at first would be the big, bulging red eyes; but I noticed their special way of camouflaging themselves. Although their eyes may be very noticeable, those big eyes are actually how they hide themselves from predators. When this species of frogs close their eyes, the eye lids are a vibrant tree green that makes them practically disappear from anyone’s sight. One thing that I

particular space, it is made up of individual people gathered together as a public and expressing their thoughts. Through the discussion, the public sphere produces opinions and attitudes that are made to agree or disagree with a particular piece[1]. Tree Huts (2008) and Under the Water (2011) by Tadashi Kawamata are works of site-specific “public sphere” art that promote the reuse of supplies to help conserve the environment which would facilitate a thriving discussion in future classes, and therefore

woody vegetation, status (chewed vs. not-chewed), distance from the water, and circumference of trees near a beaver pond in North Carolina. Beavers avoided certain species of trees and preferred trees that were close to the water. No preference for tree circumference was noted. These data suggest that beaver food choice concurs with the optimal foraging theory. Introduction In this lab, we explore the theory of optimal foraging and the theory of central place foraging using beavers as the model
