A manufacturing company has a small production line dedicated to making a particular product. The line has four stations in serial. Inputs arrive at station 1 and the output from station 1 becomes the input to station 2. The output from station 2 is the input to station 3 and so on. The output from station 4 is the finished product. Station 1 can process 2,700 units per month, station 2 can process 2,500/month, station 3 can process 2,300/month, and station 4 can process 2,100/month. a. What station sets the maximum possible output from this system? O Station 1 O Station 2 O Station 3 O Station 4 b. What is that maximum output number? Maximum output units per month

Question 5 5.1 Suppose an economy's production function is Y = AK“L'«. If the annual rate of economic growth is 4.5 per cent and labour and capital are both growing annually by 3 per cent and 4 percent respectively, what contribution to growth is made by total factor productivity? You can assume that labour receives 65 per cent of the total income generated in this economy. 5.2 Does this mean that labour contributes 65 per cent of the increased output? Explain.

Question 6 Flu Shot Dosage A hospital in a developing nation is forced to manually put the flu shot vaccine into syringes. The recommended dosage for the flu shot is 0.5mL. The local health authorities define all syringes that have less than 0.45ml or more than 0.55mL as defective. In a sample of 100 syringes, the hospital’s quality control officer finds the average dosage to be 0.5mL. The standard deviation of the dosage is 0.02 mL and the distribution of the dosages resembles a normal distribution reasonably closely. What percentage of the manually filled syringes will be outside the specification limits provided by the local health authorities? (Please answer in decimal form.)

Q2/ A chemical factory produces three types of materials (A, B, C). After reviewing the request, the producer found the need to produce no less than four tons of product (A) and two tons of product (B) and one ton of product (C) per day. These materials are produced from two other components, namely (X, Y), where each ton of (X) gives a quarter of a ton of (A), a quarter of a ton of (B), and (1/12) of (C). Each ton of (7), (1/2) ton of (A), O (1/10) ton of (B), and (1/12) ton of (C). So if component (X) costs (250) dollars per ton and component (7) costs (400) dollars per ton, and the operating cost is (250) dollars per Tons of (X), (200) dollars for each ton of (7). Put the mathematical model for this problem in the form of linear programming?
