An editorial in The New York Times on Sunday, June 4, 2011 discussed the redesigned fuel economy stickers to be required on new cars starting in 2013. Consider a new midsize Ford Fusion S model. At $4-a-gallon gas, annual fuel costs would be about $2,200 for 15,000 miles driven. ... And that’s for a car with a rated mileage of 34.9 m.p.g. (actual highway mileage, as with all vehicles, is lower, in this case about 27 m.p.g.). Industry clearly needs to do better. Did the Times use the rated or the actual mileage in its computation? In Canada, some multi-lane highways have a speed limit of 110 km/hour. Convert this speed to miles per hour, so you'll know how fast you may drive in Canada.

Casper Geriatric Center, a senior medical facility located in a large hospital in New Zealand, started a procedure where their guests receive their meals in their rooms while the food is still as hot as possible. The facility will continue to prepare the food in the commissary, but will now deliver it in bulk (not individual servings) to one of three new meal serving stations in the building. From there, the food will be reheated, meals will be placed on individual trays, loaded onto a cart, and distributed to the various floors and sections of the facility. The three new serving stations are as efficiently located as possible to reach the various hallways in the faility. The purpose of the new procedure is to increase the temperature of the hot meals that the guest receives. Therefore, the amount of time needed to deliver a tray from a serving station will determine the proper distribution of food from serving station to section.

A chef must decide how many chocolate lava cakes to prepare for the upcoming Mother's Day Dinner special. The chef can either prepare 50, 100, or 150 lava cakes. Assume that demand for the lava cakes can be 50, 100, or 150. Each dish costs $5 to make and is priced at for $7 on the menu. Unsold cakes are donated to a nearby charity center. Assume that there is no opportunity cost for lost sales. The cafe owner told the chef that in the past years, the probability that clients will order 50 cakes is 0.30; the probability they will order 100 cakes is 0.50, and the probability that they will order 150 cakes is 0.20.
