PS.53 Brother I.D. Ricks is a faculty member at BYU-Idaho whose grandchildren live in Oklahoma and California. He and his wife would like to visit their grandchildren at least once a year in these states. They currently have one vehicle with well over 100,000 miles on it, so they want to buy a newer vehicle with fewer miles and that gets better gas mileage. They are considering two options: (1) a new subcompact car that would cost $18,750 to purchase or (2) a used sedan that would cost $12,750.They anticipate that the new subcompact would get 37 miles per gallon (combined highway and around town driving) while the sedan would get 26 miles per gallon. Based on their road tripping history they expect to drive 13,000 miles per year. For the purposes of their analysis they are assuming that gas will cost $2.93 per gallon.Question: How many miles would the Ricks need to drive before the cost of these two options would be the same? (Display your answer to the nearest whole number.) (Hint:…
Choose one major approach to job design, and then discuss how best that approach can be utilized in either your current or previous employer, including a discussion of its strengths and weaknesses.
The results of your four plans will provide an indicative EOQ value. State this value and discuss in a precise manner, why it is not the exact, true value.  Additional calculations in the form of plans E, F etc. may also assist your explanation of the EOQ and can be included
