Risk and uncertainty are often used interchangeably in everyday discussions, but they are different, in business, two different concepts. Risk describes a situation in which we do not know the outcome, but we do know all the possible outcomes and can assign probabilities to each of these outcomes happening. Risked can be managed. Knowing the potential costs of errors, allows managers to hedge and/and or insure against costly outcomes. For example, ever since you quarterback had shoulder surgery, he only connects with the receiver one out of every four passes. You know that your kicker can score 80% of the time when your team is within 25 yards of the goal. You can make the calculation. Every time you are within 25 years of the goal, an attempted pass will get .25*6 points or the point payoff is 1.5 points. Versus the point payoff for a kick is .80*3 or the point payoff is 2.4 points. You can make a plan for the game.Uncertainty is the situation in which we do not know all the possible outcomes and, therefore, can’t reasonably assign probability to outcomes. Uncertainty is the unknown factor(s) in decision making for managers. Per the Warfighting Manual of the U.S, Marines, Because we can never eliminate uncertainty, we must learn to fight (manage) effectively despite it. We do this by deploying simple, flexible plans; planning for likely contingencies; developing standing operating procedures; and fostering initiatives among subordinates.” (See reference in the Welcome on this week’s page.) Two entirely new teams have just joined the league. They will play each other. Someone will win, but who? (Beware of false probability, each team does not necessarily have an even chance of a win)AssignmentGovernment support for the development of Covid-19 vaccines took two different forms. Some firms accepted grants (a.k.a, direct monetary support) for vaccine development and testing. As a condition of the grant, the government has options to purchase a first and specific number of vaccine doses. Other firms chose not to accept grants. Instead they negotiated advanced-purchase agreement to support pre-approval manufacturing of vaccines. The purchase agreement stipulates that payment will be made upon delivery of the pre-specified number of doses.1. Is the successful development and delivery of a vaccine for Covid-19 virus risky or an uncertainty?2. In the case of direct support agreements, who bears the cost of failure?3. In the case of advanced purchase agreements, who bears the cost of a failure?4. Pfizer was the first firm to have its vaccine authorized for use in the U.S. It did not accept a grant to support development and testing, but the Pfizer did negotiate an advance-purchase agreement for $1.95 billion to support the manufacturing of 100 million doses. Looking back, what hidden information is revealed by Pfizer’s

Waterways (Chapter 27)For this assignment, you will apply what you have learned from the unit lesson and required unit resources. The Waterways (WP27) case is located on page 27-35 of the textbook.Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return that it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.This year, Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.Information Old Backhoes New Backhoes Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000 Salvage value now $42,000 Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000 Salvage value in 8 years $15,000 $90,000 Remaining life 8 years 8 years Net cash flow generated each year $30,425 $43,900Instructions:In the following methods, evaluate whether to purchase the new equipment or to overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.)Use the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old.Use the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.)Compare the profitability index for each choice.Compare the internal rate of return for each choice to the required 8% discount rate.Are there any intangible benefits or negatives that would influence this decision?What decision would you make, and why?Write your responses to these questions in a Word document. Your paper should be a minimum of two pages in length. You are not required to support your assignment with outside sources; however, if you do, adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references.

This quarter our case study questions have worked to build your ability to apply course concepts to organizational events. Let’s wrap up our case studies demonstrating our mastery of our ability to apply course concepts to the Warby Parker case.1. In the Warby Parker case, we learn that the company had such a successful launch that “three weeks after its launch, Warby Parker had hit its first-year sales target. A week later, the waiting list amounted to more than 20,000 customers” (p. 6). Is the company poised for a tipping point, or does it experience one in the course of the case? Drawing on the three principles of tipping points from our video lecture, illustrate how Warby Parker is poised for a tipping point or experienced a tipping point.2. Warby Parker sought to change the eyewear industry. Select one change that Warby Parker made from industry practices, and then applying our reading on Kotter’s 8-step model of change, consider how Warby Parker has led the change. How well do the company’s actions fit Kotter’s model of change? Would Kotter deem their approach successful?
