Q7: Read the scenario provided below. What is the nature of conflict between Charlotte and Mercedes? (Why do they have a conflict?) Charlotte and Mercedes both work at the Portland Furniture Mart-a large discount furniture retailer. Charlotte is a salesperson on the floor, and Mercedes is the company credit manager. The two women have known each other for years and have much in common: they live within two blocks of each other, and their oldest daughters attend the same middle school and are best friends. If Charlotte and Mercedes had different jobs, they might be best friends themselves, but they are constantly fighting battles with each other. Charlotte's job is to sell furniture, and she does it well. But most of her sales are made on credit. Because Mercedes' job is to make sure the company minimizes credit losses, she regularly has to turn down the credit application of a customer with whom Charlotte has just closed a sale. It's nothing personal between the women; the requirements…
Question 4: Ajloun Manufacturing Company makes three products in a single factory. These products have the following selling prices and unit product costs: Costs Product B $90 per unit S30 per unit S60 per unit $35 per unit s10 per unit S20 per unit $45 per unit S15 per unit S30 per unit 4 Minutes Product C Product A Selling Price Variable Manufacturing Costs Fixed Manufacturing Costs Tapping Machine Time 5 Minutes 2 Minutes Fixed manufacturing costs are allocated to the three products. Demand for the three products exceeds the company's productive capacity. The only tapping machine available at the factory is used to produce the three products with only 40 hours of tapping machine time available per week.

Question No. (01) a) ‘Since last few years Sri Lanka is experiencing an economic crisis and at present, the situation has become more severe amidst the influences of the pandemic. From 2020, Sri Lanka has cut down the imports of vehicles and by now, there are import restrictions on farm chemicals, fertilizer, electronic equipment as well as many other products as its foreign exchange reserves diminish. As a result of these import controls, prices of many products including essential consumer goods, fuel, and construction materials are also increasing. On the other hand, the country’s ability to repay its debt is also weakening and the Fitch Ratings has downgraded Sri Lanka to its CCC category, indicating a real possibility of default. Therefore, people of Sri Lanka are passing a very difficult time period and it is expected to continue this situation in coming few years too’. Identify three (03) international/ global players operate in the Sri Lankan market and discuss the influences…

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?
In early 20X1, Tech PC, a computer manufacturer, signed a contract with Forward University to ship 300 computers for a total price of CU 600,000(2,000 CU per computer). Due to the necessary preparatory work, Forward University agreed to ship computers in 3 separate shipments over the next 3 months (100 computers in each shipment). Maju Jaya Universityacquire control of the computer during delivery (FOB Shipping point). After the first shipment was made, Maju Jaya University and Tech PC changed the contract. Tech PC will supply an additional 200 computers (500 total). Price for an additional 200 computers agreed to be CU 280,000, to CU 1,400 per computer after a 30% discount. Tech PC provides a 30% discount for additional shipping because it hopes to collaborate with Maju Jaya University in the future. As of December 31, 20X1, Tech PC has shipped 400 computers (300 computers as initially agreed and 100 computers under contract amendment). Based on the above case, answer the following…

Question THREE: Suppose you are given a set of data for output at a company which manufactures detergents over a period of time. You have determined a relation between total operating cost and the quantity produced and is given by the linear regression model as follows: TC=20,000+2,500Q, where TC=Total Operating Cost (in $) per annum and Q = Quantity produced per annum Required: i. Determine the total operating cost in the event that quantity of production is at 4,500, 12,500 and 7,000units. ii. What do you think would be your reservations in relaying on the linear regression model for budgetary planning purposes?

Q1. Dallas Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban proved his business intelligence once again with the acquisition of star player Kristaps Porzingis. To benefit from this blockbuster trade even further, Cuban plans to sell one-time-only special edition Porzingis jerseys at a price of $380 each during the first month of the season (i.e., during October 2019 only). The production cost for each of these jerseys would be $100 thanks to their golden details, and any unsold jersey during October will be sold for $80 during November 2019. Knowing the fan base for years, Cuban estimates demand for these special edition jerseys to follow a normal distribution with a mean of 10,000 units and a standard deviation of 2,000. partc. Cuban also plans to sell these special edition jerseys in his vacation resort. Knowing that people are wealthier in the resort, he sets a price of $500 for each jersey (although production cost stays the same). This time however, he cannot sell any unsold jerseys outside the…
