Downpour. The cost of each ticket for this lottery game is $5.00. A player can instantly win $75,000,
$1,000, $100, $50, $20, $10, or $5. Each ticket has 19 spots covered by latex coating, and the top
four spots contain numbers that, if matched by the player's numbers, win money. The remaining 15
spots belong to the player. A player wins if any of the numbers in the player's 15 spots matches any
of the four winning numbers.

Daisy works for a candle manufacturer and has a great idea for a new product. She wants the candle to smell like french fries that have just been lifted from a deep fryer, as she knows this is a smell that many people find nostalgic. She designed the cover of the package to mirror a popular fast food chain's packaging. The legal team has advised that there is risk with this approach. The cost of the candles will be 10% more to manufacture than a more traditional candle, and the candles will have a retail prices of 20% more. Which of the following can be concluded from Daisy's story above?
A) Daisy's new candle is the most expensive canlde that Daisy's company makes
B) The french fry candle will sell more than lavender candles due to nostalgia
C) The french fry candle will have a higher profit margin ([price - cost]/price) than a more traditional candle
D) The legal team strongly believes Daisy will be sued because of the packaging design
SBC company has demand for 1,000 pumps each year.

The supplier just Informed the SBC that. If pumps are ordered in quantities of 200 units or more that they will receive a 3% discount, How many pumps should SBC order from their supplier each time they place an order to minimize its expected iotal annual cost for this Item?

- A machine that produces a certain piece must be turned off by the operator after each piece is completed. The machine "coasts" for 15 seconds after it is turned off, thus preventing the operator from removing the piece quickly before producing the next piece. An engineer has suggested installing a brake that would reduce the coasting time to 3 seconds. The machine produces 50,000 pieces a year. The time to produce one piece is 1 minute 45 seconds, excluding coastint time. The operator earns $11 an hour and direct costs for operation are $6 an hour. The direct costs are incurred whenever the operator has to work. The brake will require servicing every 572 hours of operation. It will take the operator 30 minutes to perform the necessary maintenance and will require $48 in parts and material. The brake is expected to last 7,500 hours of operation (with proper maintenance) and will have no salvage value. How much could be spent for the brake if the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return is 10%…arrow_forwardGerry likes driving small cars and buys nearly identical ones whenever the old one needs replacing. Typically, he trades in his old car for a new one costing about $15,000. A new car warranty covers all repair costs above standard maintenance (standard maintenance costs are constant over the life of the car) for the first two years. After that, his records show an average repair expense (over standard maintenance) of $2600 in the third year (at the end of the year), increasing by 50 percent per year thereafter. If a 30 percent declining-balance depreciation rate is used to estimate salvage values and interest is 8 percent, how often should Gerry get a new car?

The cost of operating a jet-powered commercial (passenger- carrying) airplane varies as the three-halves (3/2) power of its velocity; specifically, Co kny3/2, where n is the trip length in miles, k is a constant of proportionality, and vis velocity in miles per hour. It is known that at 400 miles per hour, the average cost of operation is $300 per mile. The company that owns the aircraft wants to minimize the cost of operation, but that cost must be balanced against the cost of the passengers' time (CC), which has been set at $300,000 per hour. At what velocity should the trip be planned to minimize the total cost, which is the sum of the cost of operating the airplane and the cost of passengers' time?arrow_forwardYour friend - an artist - has asked you to help her determine how many paintings sized 50x150cm she should paint for sale. She's deciding between one, two, three, or four paintings. Your friend sells the paintings for 300 monetary units each. She spends 8 hours on each painting (1 hour of work = 15 monetary units). Additionally, each painting incurs an extra cost of 40 monetary units (for canvas, backing, paints, brushes, sprays). Based on past data, you estimate that with a probability of 0.2, there will be no potential buyers; with a probability of 0.2, there will be one potential buyer; with a probability of 0.2, there will be two potential buyers; with a probability of 0.3, there will be three potential buyers; with a probability of 0.1, there will be four potential buyers. Assume that if there are fewer paintings produced than potential buyers, some (randomly selected) potential buyers will remain without a painting; otherwise, all potential buyers will purchase exactly one…arrow_forward
