(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The quantities of H and W that can maximize profits by using both the objective function method and enumeration method when a manufacturer produces two models of ovens H and W which need fabrication and assembly work. Each H uses 4 hours of fabrication and 2 hours of assembly, and each W model uses 2 hours of fabrication and 6 hours of assembly. Total fabrication hours that are available this week are 600 and 480 for assembly hours. Each H model contributes $40 to profits and each W contributes $30 to profits.

Introduction: A trend equation is used to calculate or identify the expected level of output according to the trend followed by sales.

Summary Introduction

To determine: How many units of every model needed to be produced if the goal is profit maximization by using the objective function method and enumeration method where two refrigerator models L and M involve limited hours for assembly and fabrication. 540 hours are available for fabrication and 600 hours for assembly this week and each model of L needs 6 hours for fabrication and 3 hours for assembly whereas, M needs 4 hours of fabrication and 5 hours for assembly. Every unit or model of L contributes $50 to profit and M produces $40. Therefore, it is needed to determine

The strategy of Multiple Equivalent Simultaneous Offers involves presenting several equally valuable options to the other party during negotiations. This approach benefits negotiators by creating flexibility and increasing the chances of finding a mutually agreeable solution. By offering multiple options, negotiators show that they are open to compromise, which can build trust and make the negotiation process smoother. It also helps avoid getting stuck on one issue, as the other party can choose from several alternatives that meet their needs. In my experience, using MESOs in a work negotiation helped both parties reach an agreement more quickly because each option was carefully thought out to address different needs, and this made it easier for us to settle on one that worked for both sides. This strategy can also reveal what is most important to the other party, helping negotiators understand their priorities better. agree or disagree with the post
