Many manufacturing situations, for example, the production of such large and complex items as aircraft or machines, exhibit a learning effect in which the production time per unit decreases as
more units are produced. This is often modeled by a power curve, y = ax , where a and b are constants. Suppose that the accompanying data on production times for the first ten units produced
were collected from a new project at Glasgow Machine Tool. Develop a model for estimating the power curve to minimize the sum of the squared deviations of the errors. Use nonlinear
optimization to find the parameters.

The model is y=(x-D

3. A manufacturer of paper used for making grocery bags is interested in improving the tensile
strength of the product. Product engineering thinks that tensile strength is a function of the
hardwood concentration in the pulp and that the range of hardwood concentrations of practi-
cal interest is between 5 and 20%. A team of engineers responsible for the study decides to in-
vestigate four levels of hardwood concentration: 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. They decide to
make up six test specimens at each concentration level, using a pilot plant. All 24 specimens
are tested on a laboratory tensile tester, in random order. The data from this experiment are
shown in Table
Construct ANOVA table to determine whether hardwood concentration is a
significant factor or not at a=0.05?

A large food chain owns a number of pharmacies that operate in a variety of settings. Some are situated in small
towns and are open for only 8 hours a day, 5 days per week. Others are located in shopping malls and are open for
longer hours. The analysts on the corporate staff would like to develop a model to show how a store's revenues
depend on the number of hours that it is open. They have collected the following information from a sample of stores.

a) Use a linear function (e.g., y = ax + b; where a and b are parameters to optimize) to represent the relationship
between revenue and operating hours and find the values of the parameters using the nonlinear solver that
provide the best fit to the given data. What revenue does your model predict for 120 hours?
b) Suggest a two-parameter nonlinear model (e.g., y = at where a and b are parameters to optimize) for the…

- A company is keen on investing in expanding its market penetration in Africa opening an on-line shop to new potential African clients. For this reason, the company wants to understand the level of digital divide, measured by the total number of internet users in relation to total population, as a function of clients’ personal characteristics. Considering the following analysis based on a survey conducted in two main markets, Nigeria and Kenya, we have the following information to estimate the digital divide: Age: respondent’s age from 25 to 55 years old. Gender: 1 female, 0 male. Education level measured as years of schooling. Region: Kenya =1, Nigeria =0. As part of their work they have produced the following linear regression.

Then estimate the parameters and report the final model.arrow_forwardWe want to understand the relationship between sales growth rates (s) and project FCF growth rates (g). This is useful to think about, because in our spreadsheet models we often need an estimate of g but when we look for analyst forecasts, they often just apply to s. We consider a hypothetical firm in which there are Sales, COGS, Depreciation, Taxes, ONWC, and CAPEX occurring each year. You know that sales growth is constant and equals s. You further know that in any given year, COGS/Sales-c, the tax rate is p, the ratio of ONWC to Sales is n, and CAPEX-Depreciation, and Depreciation/Sales-d. s, c, p, n, and d are constants (i.e., fixed parameters that don't change over time). Perform an algebraic series of calculations. Start with FCF = (Sales - COGS - DA - Taxes - etc). Simplify the expression until it is in the form Sales. *((1-c-d)(1-p)-s/(1+s)*n).arrow_forwardData collected on the yearly demand for 50-pound bags of are shown in the following table. Year Demand for fertilze ,000 1 4 2 6 3 4 4 5 6 10 5 8 7 7 8 9 9 12 10 14 11 15 i. Develop a 3-year moving average to forecast sales. Then estimate demand again with a weighted moving average in which sales in the most recent year are given a weight of 2 and sales in the other 2 years are each given a weight of 1. Which method do you think is best? ii. Develop a trend line for the demand for fertilizer.arrow_forward
