1. Due to the quarantine, the demand for NineTendo On/Off console suddenly peaked and is expected tohave the following demands for the next four quarters: 5million, 7million, 4million, and 5million units,respectively. The unit price starts at 20,000 and increase by 1,000 each quarter thereafter. The companyNine Tendo can supply no more than 7million units in any one quarter. Although, we can take advantageof lower prices in early quarters, a storage cost of 2,800 is incurred per unit per quarter. In addition, thenumber of units that can be held over from one quarter to the next must be 1.4million or less. Developan LP to determine the schedule for purchasing the item to meet the demand while minimizing the cost.

Decision variables:xq : number of units purchased in quarter q.yq : number of units held over from…

PharmaPlus operates a chain of 30 pharmacies. The pharmacies are staffed by licensed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The company currently employs 105 full-time-equivalent pharmacists (combination of full time and part time) and 175 full-time-equivalent technicians. Each spring management reviews current staffing levels and makes hiring plans for the year. A recent forecast of the prescription load for the next year shows that at least 320 full-time-equivalent employees (pharmacists and technicians) will be required to staff the pharmacies. The personnel department expects 10 pharmacists and 30 technicians to leave over the next year. To accommodate the expected attrition and prepare for future growth, management states that at least 15 new pharmacists must be hired. In addition, PharmaPlus's new service quality guidelines specify no more than two technicians per licensed pharmacist. The average salary for licensed pharmacists is $45 per hour and the average salary for…

2. A small company manufactures 3 different electronic components for computers. Component A requires 2 hours of fabrication and 1 hour of assembly; component B requires 1 hr of fabrication and 2 hours of assembly, and component C requires 2 hours of fabrication and 2 hours of assembly. The company has up to 1000 labor-hours of fabrication time and 800 labor-hours of assembly time available per week. The profit on each component A, B, and C is $7, 9, and 10 respectively. How many components of each type should the company manufacture each week in order to maximize its profit? What is the maximum profit?
Jenck's Homemade Ice Cream, LLC is planning its production for next week. As there is a current shortage of fresh milk and one of the mixing machines is broken, demand for chocolate chocolate-chip ice cream and chocolate peanut-butter ice cream continues to outpace the company's production capacities. The mixing machines will be available for only for only 158.6 hours, and only 17500 gallons of high grade milk will be available. One hundred gallons of chocolate chocolate-chip requires 0.6 hour of mixing and 75 gallons of milk. One hundred gallons of chocolate peanut-butter ice cream requires 0.8 hour of mixing and 80 gallons of milk. If company earns a profit of $115.00 per hundred gallons of chocolate chocolate-chip and $130.00 per hundred gallons of chocolate peanut-butter, how many gallons of each ice cream should company produce next week to maximize profit? How much profit will result? (Use x for hundred gallons of chocolate chocolate-chip and y for hundred gallons of chocolate…
Suppose that the R&B Beverage Company has a soft drink product that shows a constant annual demand rate of 3,600 cases. A case of the soft drink costs R&B $2. Ordering costs are $22 per order and holding costs are 26% of the value of the inventory. R&B has 250 working days per year, and the lead time is 5 days. Identify the following aspects of the inventory policy: Economic order quantity. If required, round your answer to two decimal places. Q* = fill in the blank 1 Reorder point.

A federal agency wants to investigate the value workers place on being able to work in quiet factories over noisy factories. It conducts a study and finds the average annual wage in quiet factories to be $55,550 and the average annual wage in noisy factories to be $49,250. (a) How much does the average worker value working in a quiet factory? (b) Suppose the agency could mandate that all factories reduce their noise levels must therefore accept a $6,000 pay decrease. Are these workers helped by the intervention, hurt by the intervention, or indifferent to the intervention?
(ii) A state predicts that it will need $2.15 billion for construction of new roads and maintenance of existing roads in year 2025. It is forecast that 1.5 percent of the vehicle-fleet in that year will be electric vehicles with the remaining being gas powered vehicles. The population of the state is forecast to be 10 million persons in 2025 with the average number of vehicles owned per person being 0.75. It is projected that on average each vehicle will be driven 12,000 miles per year, with gas powered vehicles achieving an average gas consumption of 25 miles per gallon (mpg). If the state plans to raise 99 percent of the required revenue from gas powered vehicles and the remainder from electric vehicles, (a) Determine how much each gallon of gas sold should be taxed to achieve the revenue target (b) Determine what the annual flat tax for each electric vehicle should be to raise the appropriate revenue target; (c) If the state decides to raise the required revenue based on a tax per…
A regional municipality is studying a water supply plan for its tri-city and surrounding area to the end of year 2070. To satisfy the water demand, one suggestion is to construct a pipeline from a major lake some distance away. Construction would start at the beginning of 2030 and take five years at a cost of $30 million per year. The cost of maintenance and repairs starts after completion of construction and for the first year is $3 million, increasing by 2 percent per year thereafter. At an interest rate of 7 percent, what is the present worth of this project? Assume all cash flows take place at year-end. Consider the present to be the end of 2025/beginning of 2026. Assume there is no salvage value at the end of year 2070. Click the icon to view the table of compound interest factors for discrete compounding periods when i = 7%. The present worth of this project is $ (Round to two decimal places as needed.) million.
On February 23, 2011 Matthew Wald blogged in The New York Times that, “a car buyer who lays out an extra $6,200 to buy the hybrid version of the Lexus RX will get the money back in gas savings within five years, according to Consumer Reports magazine, but only if gasoline averages $8.77 a gallon. Otherwise, the nonhybrid RX 350 is a better buy than the Hybrid 450h, the magazine says.”Wald notices that the study assumes:▪ The car will be driven 12,000 miles a year.▪ Gas will cost $2.80 a gallon.▪ The hybrid gets 26 miles per gallon while the nonhybrid gets 21.(a) Show that the computation is wrong—that at $8.77 per gallon of gas you can’t save $6,200 in 60,000 miles of driving.(b) Show that you can save that much with that much driving if gas costs $8.77 per gallon more than $2.80 per gallon.
If a company has excess capacity, it is contemplating whether a special order should be accepted. The order will not impact regular sales. If the company accepts the special order, what will occur? O Both fixed and variable costs will increase. Net income will increase if the special sales price per unit exceeds the unit variable costs. There are no incremental revenues. Incremental costs will not be affected.
you have total portfolio $500,000 that is to be invested in certificates of deposit that pay simple annual interest of 2.5%, municipal bonds that pay simple annual interest of 10%, blue chip stocks that you expect to return 12% annually, cryptocurrency that you expected to return 18% annually. You want a combined annual return of 10% annually and you want one quarter of them invested in stocks and crypto. How much should be put in each type of investment
A surfboard manufacturer lost $500,000 last year during a recession. Total revenue was $5,000,000 and total variable costs were 40% of sales. The production facility ran at 50% capacity. The production manager wants to know the following: a. What is the percent capacity required to break even? b. When the economy recovers this year, if the plant runs at 100% capacity what net income could the company realize? c. There is a possibility that sales could be so strong this year that the plant may be required to run at 120% capacity by offering a lot of overtime to its production workers. This would result in total variable costs rising by 35%. On a strictly financial basis, should the production manager plan to exceed capacity or should he advise top management to freeze production at 100% capacity? Justify your answer. Answer Solution- 9a. 58.3% 9b. $2,500,000 9c. $3,100,000
