Five to six times a year, Kicker puts on tent sales in various cities throughout Oklahoma and the surrounding states. The tent sales are designed to show Kicker customers new products, engender enthusiasm about those products, and sell soon to be out-of-date products at greatly reduced prices. Each tent sale lasts one day and requires parking lot space to set up the Kicker semitrailer; a couple of show cars; a disc jockey playing music; a tent to sell Kicker merchandise, distribute brochures, and so on. Last year, the Austin, TX tent sale was held in a corner of the parking lot outside the city exhibition hall where the automotive show was in progress. Because most customers were interested more in the new model cars than in the refurbishment of their current cars, foot traffic was low. In addition, customers did not want to carry speakers and amplifiers all the way back to where they had originally parked. Total direct costs for this tent sale were $14,300. Direct costs…
Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are contestants on a game show called Split or Steal. On the show, Bugs and Daffy have to pick one of two cards and decide to split the prize money of $100,000 or steal it from the other contestant. The decisions are made simultaneously so neither player knows what the other will do. The table below represents the result of the contestants’ choices. See attached What should a rational player do in this game? Is this a zero-sum game?

An entrepreneur is starting up a new bakery featuring a special pastry from an old family recipe. The basic dough recipe requires 5cups of flour, which is 0.75kg, plus another 0.75kg consisting of all the other ingredients, sugar, butter, milk, yeast, fruits, nuts and spices, to make the dough for 15 medium pastries. She runs some tests to scale up her recipe. In her first test batch she creates dough for 300 pastries, how much flour, in kg, was required?
1. Write a linear program for the problem. 2. What is the optimal production mix among different coffee varieties and the profit associated with it? 3. What should be the per bag profit of Tarrazu which will make it beneficial to produce this variety? 4. One Cup is considering increasing the weekly bags to 150. If it costs One Cup $3.00 per bag to procure beans of any variety. Conduct sensitivity analysis and determine if One Cup should consider increasing the per week production. 5. Identify the range over which per bag profit of Sumatra and Kona may vary and still retain the current production plan as optimal for One Cup. 6. Once roasted the coffee beans must be preserved properly. To ensure that, One Cup Coffee is considering investing in a vacuum packaging machine for 24 hours/ week. It takes 10, 15 and 10 minutes to pack a bag of Sumatra, Kona and Tarazzu respectively. Identify if the current production plan will suit the installation of the new packaging scheme.
