A tutoring service provides tutoring for a fee. When the tutoring service charges $11/hour, there is a demand for 28 tutors per week. When the hourly rate rises to $17/hour, the demand drops to 16 tutors per week.

Jason is considering two different jobs that he has been offered and he likes the atmosphere and other employees equally at both companies. With the first job he would be an apartment property manager for AMLI Company. This job is offering Jason an hourly rate of $19.00 an hour plus a weekly bonus of $200 for the new tenants he sets a one year lease up with. The company expects Jason to work all 52 weeks of the year and 40 hours per week. AMLI's individual health insurance costs $115 per month. With the second job he would work as water treatment facility manager in Gwinnett County. He would be paid an annual salary of $46,000 a year. There aren't any bonuses but the county's health insurance is only $25 per month for an individual. Both companies deduct for Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.2%), State Income Tax (3%), and Federal Income Tax (14%).

In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $32 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $40 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before finalizing the decision. (a) Determine the equation for computing FTC's profit for given values of the…
Residents of Mill River have fond memories of ice skating at a local park. An artist has captured the experience in a drawing and is hoping to reproduce it and sell framed copies to current and former residents. He thinks that if the market is good he can sell 400 copies of the elegant version at $150 each. If the market is not good, he will sell only 350 at $110 each. He can make a deluxe version of the same drawing instead. He feels that if the market is good he can sell 500 copies of the deluxe version at $100 each. If the market is not good, he will sell only 400 copies at $90 each. In either case, production costs will be approximately $45,000. He can also choose to do nothing at this time. If he believes there is a 60% probability of a good market, what should he do? A. Make the deluxe version B. Nothing C. Make the elegant version

Three friends are trying to predict who will make more money at work tomorrow. John works construction: he will make $250 tomorrow unless it rains, in which case he will make $0. Sara works in a restaurant: she will earn $100 if it is sunny, $200 if it is rainy, and $250 if the weather is average. Chris works in a warehouse, and he earns a flat rate of $200 per day, regardless of weather conditions. Suppose there is a 20% chance that tomorrow will be sunny, and 50% chance that the weather will be average, and a 30% chance of rain. Determine tomorrow’s expected earnings for each of these 3 friends. Compute the standard deviation for Sara’s earnings. Handwrite the solution
