Mcburger inc wants to redesign its kitchens to improve


McBurger, Inc., wants to redesign its kitchens to improve productivity and quality. Three designs, called designs K1, K2, and K3, are under consideration. No matter which design is used, daily production of sandwiches at a typical McBurger restaurant is for 500 sandwiches. A sandwich costs $1.40 to produce. Non-defective sandwiches sell, on average, for $2.75 per sandwich. Defective sandwiches cannot be sold and are scrapped. The goal is to choose a design that maximizs the expected profit as a typical restaurant over a 300-day period. Designs K1, K2, and K3 cost $100,000, $130,000, $160,000 respectively. Under design K1 there is a .80 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .20 change that 70 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective. Under K2, there is a .85 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .15 chance that 75 out of 100 sandwiches are non-defective. Under design K3, there is a .90 chance that 95 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .10 chance that 80 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective. The expected profit level of design K1 is $_________ (Enter your response as a real number rounded to two decimal places.)
