Chapter 1 Management Decision Problems

For each management decision problem question, type a brief answer as informal notes – that is, brief phrases that represent the key ideas. Identify answers with numbers and letters. Restrict your answers to no more than a total of one typewritten sheet, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font, with 1 inch margins. Expect lost credit for failure to write informal notes or otherwise follow this format.
Bring the typed answers to class on the due date and be prepared to discuss them. If you anticipate you may miss class, also email them in an attached Word document to lederer@uky.edu to arrive before class, and keep a copy of the outgoing message with the attachment in your outgoing mail folder.
