Henry Lee is the Vice President of Purchasing for the consumer electronics division of the Major Electric Corporation (MEC). The company recently introduced a new type of video camcorder that has taken the market by storm. Although Henry is pleased with the strong demand for this product in the market place, it has been a challenge to keep up with MEC's distributors' orders of this camcorder. His current challenge is how to meet requests from MEC's major distributors in Pittsburgh, Denver, Baltimore, and Houston who have placed orders of 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 25,000 units, respectively, for delivery in 2 months (there is a 1-month manufacturing and one-month shipping lead time for this product). MEC has contracts with companies in Hong Kong, Korea, and Singapore who manufacture camcorders for the company under the MEC label. These contracts require MEC to order a specified minimum number of units each month at a guaranteed per unit cost. The contracts also specify the maximum…

Two employees (Molly and Jim) must conduct a data analysis project on the success of a firm’s marketing efforts and then write a report of their findings for consideration by the firm’s board. If the first employee, Molly, worked completely alone, she could finish the data analysis component of the project with 30 hours of work and could write the report with an additional 10 hours of work. If Jim worked alone, he would take 48 hours of work to conduct the data analysis and then 12 hours to write the report. Assume that both employees need to contribute to the project, that there would be no benefits to having two people work on the same part of the project (data analysis and writing), and that working on the two parts are independent (i.e. there is no benefit to working on both parts). Which employee has the comparative advantage in conducting the data analysis? Explain

A serious side effect of allergy medicines is that they cause drowsiness, which can cause many problems for the individuals taking them. In recent years, a new non-drowsy allergy medicine has been developed. The company that created the medicine claims to be the first, once-a-day, non-drowsy allergy medicine (call it Medicine A). An independent research group wanted to check on this claim by comparing medicine A with another allergy medicine not advertised as non-drowsy (call it Medicine B). A random sample of 3,193 allergy sufferers was selected and each individual was randomly assigned to take either Medicine A or Medicine B. From the Medicine A group, 114 of 1,604 reported drowsiness and from the Medicine B group, 155 of 1,589 reported drowsiness. Calculate and label the two sample proportions separately. Next, calculate the difference between these sample proportions by subtracting (Medicine A – Medicine B). Complete these calculations by hand, label each of them, and…

Montreal Mini-Covid Hospital is serving COVID-19 patients. The hospital is receiving 20 patients per hour for COVID test. At any given time, there are 5 patients waiting in line while the front desk is serving each patient in 3 minutes and directing 50% of patients to Dr. John and 50% of patients to Dr. Mary. At any given time, there are 15 patients in Dr. John's waiting room while he is serving each patient in 4 minutes and admitting 20% of his patients for treatment. Likewise, at any given time, there are 8 patients in Dr. Mary's waiting room while she is serving each patient in 5 minutes and admitting 15% of her patients for treatment. All details are presented in the process diagram below: Dr. John (GP) 20% Admit Service time = 4 min Waiting patients = 15 Patients 50% 80% 20 / hour Front Desk Waiting Patients - 5 Service time = 15%, 3 min 50% Don't admit Dr. Mary (GP) Service time = 5 min 85% Waiting patients = 8 How long in minutes, does an admitted patient spend in the system on…
For his classes, Professor Wright gives three types of quizzes, objective, recall, and recall-plus. To keep his students on their toes, he has decided to give at least 20 quizzes next quarter. The three types, objective, recall, and recall-plus quizzes, require the students to spend, respectively, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes for preparation, and Professor Wright would like them to spend at least 12 hours(720 minutes) preparing for these quizzes above and beyond the normal study time. An average score on an objective quiz is 5, on a recall type 6, and on a recall-plus 7, and Dr. Wright would like the students to score at least 130 points on all quizzes. It takes the professor one minute to grade an objective quiz, 2 minutes to grade a recall type quiz, and 3 minutes to grade a recall-plus quiz. How many of each type should he give in order to minimize his grading time?
