A craftsman named William Barnes builds two kinds of birdhouses, one for wrens and a second for bluebirds. Each wren birdhouse takes 4 hours of labor and 4 units of lumber. Each bluebird house requires 2 hours of labor and 12 units of lumber. The craftsman has available 48 hours of labor and 120 units of lumber. Wren houses yield a profit of $6 each and bluebird houses yield a profit of $15 each. The aim of the objective function for William should be to Maximize the objective value. Decision variables: X = number of wren houses to be produced Y = number of bluebird houses to be produced Z= 6X+ 15 Y a) Objective function: Subject to: 4X + 2Y 4X+ 12Y ≤ 48 (C₁) ≤ 120 (C₂) X, Y 20 b) On the graph on right, constraints C, and C₂ have been plotted. Using the point drawing tool, plot all the corner points for the feasible area. The optimum solution is: X = (round your response to two decimal places).

Mike Thatcher is a sales manager for an automobile dealership in Alberta. Mike earns a bonus each year based on revenue generated by the number of vehicles sold in the year less related warranty expenses. The quality of automobiles sold each year seems to vary since the warranty experience related to vehicles sold is highly variable. The actual warranty expenses have varied over the past 10 years from a low of 3% of an automobile’s selling price to a high of 10%. In the past, Mike has tended toward estimating warranty expenses on the high end just to be prudent. It is the end of the year and once again he must work with the dealership’s accountant in arriving at the warranty expense accrual for the cars sold this year. Required 1. Does the warranty accrual decision present any kind of ethical dilemma for Mike Thatcher? 2. Since the warranty experience is not constant, what percent do you think Mike should choose for this year? Justify your response.
Consider the following short case as you respond to the question:Abruzzi's Italian Kitchen is a small family restaurant with an administrative staff of four people. Giuseppi Abruzzi is the chief executive officer; his wife Maria is the chief financial officer. Their son Antonio is responsible for all transactions dealing with kitchen supplies, including the raw materials for menu items; their son Carlo is responsible for all transactions dealing with dining room supplies, such as eating utensils. The restaurant's administrative practices have developed over the ten years of its existence with minimal reliance on information technology and formal procedures and a stronger emphasis on interpersonal relationships with a few reliable vendors. Once a month, Antonio places orders for kitchen supplies with one of four vendors based on price; the supplies are usually received within ten calendar days. On receipt of the supplies, Antonio pays the vendor with a company check. Carlo follows a…

The average number of operational losses in a year at a particular plant is 18, so the number of losses in a year is distributed Poisson, with mean 18.) Given the distribution parameter from the previous question: What is the average number of weeks between operational losses (assume 52 weeks per year)? What is the probability that two operational losses will occur within two weeks of each other (i.e., given an operational loss today, what’s the probability the next one will happen in less than two weeks)?
Demand is forecasted using the following regression equation: D = 100 + 15(t) where “t” is a specified future time period. The current time period is 0 (t=0). The machines used to make this product have a capacity of 50 units/time period. The company currently has 4 machines yielding a total capacity of 200 units/time period. Due to technology changes, the current equipment will become obsolete at the end of period 15. If a new machine costs $2000, and the net revenue earned per unit is $10, how many machines should be added between today (t=0) and the end of period 15?

Martin owns an older home, which requires minor renovations. However, the neighborhood where Martin lives mostly includes newly constructed luxury homes. Why might Martin's home increase in value? Based on the principle of substitution, the value of Martin's house will equal the value of the newly constructed homes in the neighborhood. ○ The value of Martin's home will decrease due to the new competition in the neighborhood. Based on the principle of regression, the newly constructed homes in the neighborhood will increase the home values of the entire neighborhood. Based on the principle of progression, the newly constructed homes in the neighborhood will increase the home values of the entire neighborhood.
A company has 4 plants: Plant 1, Plant 2, Plant 3, and Plant 4. All the plants make the same product The company sells the product in 4 different cities: City 1, City 2, City 3, City 4. Maximum production (in thousands of units) that is possible at the 4 plants are given respectively by (Plant 1 to Plant 4): 5, 25, 10, and 15. Your forecast shows that the demand for the product (in thousands of units) in each of the cities is given by (City 1 to City 4): 15, 7, 9, 10. Your firm does not want to have any backorders or lost demand. The production & transportation cost for getting a product from any given plant to any given city if given blow: Plant 1 Plant 2 Plant 3 Plant 4 Production and Transportation Cost per 1000 units (Thousand $) City 1 City 2 1070 1260 1825 780 800 City 3 1400 1685 1540 1070 2425 1355 843 City 4 1530 1100 500 1045 You need to decide which plant will serve which city and how much.
