In this assignment you will work with Andrew Jaworski, the cruise ship’s Medical Officer. He has a special offer from a supplier for a disposable syringe filled with a premeasured dosage of medicine to alleviate motion sickness, which needs to be evaluated. He has provided you with all the necessary information needed to analyze the quantity discount offered by the supplier. One additional concern comes from Peggy Johnson, the Corporate Medical Officer. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently testing a new motion sickness medicine that would make the other medicine obsolete. She believes there is a 10 percent chance of the new medicine receiving FDA approval and that we will know in approximately nine months. Your job is to make a recommendation regarding this quantity discount offer. This assignment will enable you to enhance your knowledge of the material in Chapter 12 of your textbook and prepare you for future assignments.
