First carefully calculate the following: VV = LAST 4 DIGITS OF YOUR STUDENT NUMBER (e.g., 5043210 3210; 5090807 0807) VVSS= SUM OF DIGITS OF V (e.g., 3210 6; 080715) Consider TXL, an original equipment manufacturer that produces mobile communication devices with very short product life cycles, for telecom companies all around the world who brand and sell these devices under their name. Due to market forces, TXL has to innovate and introduce a new version of their products every year. Demand characteristics of its products makes forecasting and purchase decisions very challenging for the components that go into manufacturing. Sourcing of the LCD module has historically been problematic, with significant observations of insufficient quantities in the recent years, and the management at TXL would like to develop a solid approach to their decision process and contractual relationship with its supplier, Pavan, Inc. For the upcoming year, Pavan has announced a unit wholesale price of $(4444 - VVSS/44) for these modules, which are custom designed (in terms of size, resolution, technology, and interface) for the current generation of TXL's devices and has little value if not used. It is estimated that TXL could liquidate the leftover modules in a secondary market at 60% loss. To build the current generation of devices, TXL's cost for all other components and material was $(111111 + VVSS) per unit, and the average sale price was expected to be $200 per unit. TXL's demand forecast was Normally distributed with mean (55555555+ VV) and standard deviation (222222 - VVSS). Assume Pavan's unit cost for each module to be $20. 4) Fully develop a buyback contract that would coordinate the supply chain. Assume that the buyback contract would be implemented as markdown money, with no items to be sent back 5) Fully develop a revenue-sharing contract that would coordinate the supply chain. 6) Assuming no spot market for these LCD modules, fully develop an options contract that would coordinate the supply chain.
