QUESTION 10
A manufacturing facility is manufacturing a new tablet. The tables are formed by mother board, memory chips, and touch display. A tablets requires one mother
board and 1 touch display. The motherboard requires two memory chips. Once that all pieces are in the plant it takes 2 weeks to assemble the final product. TH
projected demand for weeks 6 to 10 are: 120, 170, 250, 200, and 125. The company has for week 6 already 60 tablets. The company also need to have at the
end of week 10 an inventory of 50 tablets.

- Question type: Module B Linear Programming Each coffee table produced by Kevin Watson Designers nets the firm a profit of $12. Each bookcase yields a $22 profit. Watson's firm is small and its resources limited. During any given production period (of 1 week), 20 gallons of varnish and 32 lengths of high-quality redwood are available. Each coffee table requires approximately 1 gallon of varnish and 2 length of redwood. Each bookcase takes 1 gallon of varnish and 1 lengths of wood. Formulate Watson's production-mix decision as a linear programming problem, and solve. How many tables and bookcases should be produced each week?

His academic life had been quite eventful, as he had been part of the top 10 students in his class and had dropped to be part of the last 10 students during the past school term. On 28th May 2022, in the heat of the preparation towards the final examination, Kofi Kwakye took exeat from school to acquire some "provisions" to enable him cope during the final exam period, which was three months ahead. He entered a shop in Accra and, instead of focusing on the "provisions", he purchasee the following items: Microsoft Xbox, the latest iPhone, and a three-piece suit by Pierre Cardin. Kofi Kwakye did not have enough money to pay for all the items at once. He, therefore, agreed with the shop owner, Mr. Ametepe, to pay the outstanding amount owed in five instalments. However, after paying the first instalment, Kofi Kwakye fell into arrears. The two parties then entered into another arrangement under…arrow_forward

Instead of letting this money sit in a bank account for a paltry 6% risk free interest rate, it has decided to invest half of the money in four stocks on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). The four stock options the government is considering and the relevant financial data are as follows: Stock A В C D Price Per Share (in GH¢) 100 50 80 40 Annual Return (in GH¢) 18 6. 8 8. Possible Loss Per Share (in GH¢) 10 6. 6. 5 However, the annual return is only a forecast (provided by experts at the ministry of finance), and could be worse or better – a risk that the government has been advised to be worry of in order not to jeopardize the finances of the Free SHS program. For example, though a share of stock A could yield a return amount of GH¢18, it is also likely it could lead to a loss of GH¢10. In order to minimize the risk (i.e. losses) associated with investing…arrow_forwardQuestion Consider the following transactions occurring during a given fortnight.
