- Kenneth currently sells suits for company A at a salary of $22,000 plus a $10 commission for each suit sold. Company B offers him a position with a salary of $28,000 plus a $4 commission for each suit sold. How many suits would Kenneth need to sell for the options to be equal?arrow_forwardWhen Gloria spent 15 minutes on the elliptical trainer and then did circuit training for 30 minutes, her fitness app says she burned 435 calories. When she spent 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer and 40 minutes circuit training she burned 690 calories. Solve the system {15e+30c=43530e+40c=690 for e, the number of calories she burns for each minute on the elliptical trainer, and c, the number of calories she burns for each minute of circuit training.arrow_forward3. A shop owner blends a fancy brand of tea with a cheaper brand. The fancy brand sells for $5 per pound, and the cheaper brand sells for $2 per pound. How much of each should the owner mix to have 30 pounds worth $3.69 per pound? (Be sure to define your variables and show all your work for full credit.)arrow_forward
- A self-employed carpenter earns $60 for the sale of a table, T, and $40 for the sale of a rocking chair, C. It takes 3 hours for him to make a table and 4 hours to manufacture each rocking chair. He is limited to working at most 60 hours per week. The average manufacturing cost to the carpenter is $26 per table and $30 for every rocking chair. He wishes to keep his manufacturing costs to no more than $390 per week. Given these various constraints, he wishes to maximize his revenue, R. a) In each blank box below, select the best answer from the list that helps complete the objective function and its associated constraint inequalities. Please note that the option = indicates >.

During the flu season Jerg sells doses to distributors and to health-care providers for $25. However, sometimes the flu season is mild and not all doses are sold - if a dose is not sold during the season then it is worthless and must be thrown out. Jerg anticipates demand for next flu season to follow a normal distrbituion with a mean of 60 million units and a standard deviation of 15 million units. Which one of the following is CORRECT? -Jerg should order more than 67.5 million units. -Jerg should order more than 75 million units. -Jerg should order more than 60 million units. -Jerg should order more than 82.5 million units.arrow_forwardA manufacturer of downhill and cross-country skis reports that manufacturing time is 1 hours and 4 hours, respectively, per ski and that finishing time is 3 hours for each downhill and 4 hours for each cross-crountry ski. There are only 16 hours per week available for the manufacturing process and 24 hours for the finishing process. The average profit is $62 for downhill ski and $92 for cross-country ski. The manufacturer wants to know how many of each type of ski should be made to maximize the weekly profit. Corner points of the feasible region: If there is more than one corner point, type the points separated by a comma (i.e. (1,2).(3,4)). Maximum profit is: $ when and downhill skis cross country skis are produced.arrow_forward
- Q: The Morton Supply Company produces clothing, footwear, and accessories for dancing and gymnastics. They produce three models of pointe shoes used by ballerinas to balance on the tips of their toes. The shoes are produced from four materials: cardstock, satin, plain fabric, and leather.

- An investment manager has a dilemma of how to invest K10 000 000. He could either invest in stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (CD) or a mixture of the three. The economy could be stagnant 25%, slow growth 45% and rapid growth 30%. For the stagnant economy –K500 000, -K100 000, K300 000 and –K200 000 would be the payoffs for the different investments For the slow growth economy K700 000, K600 000, K500 000 and K650 000 would be the payoffs for the different investments For the rapid growth economy K2200 000, K900 000, K750 000 and K1300 000 would be the payoffs for the different investments. Required: Compute the expected monetary value (EMV).arrow_forwardKevin is an auto mechanic. He spends 2 hours when he replaces the shocks on a car and 2 hours when he replaces the brakes. He works no more than 42 hours a week. He routinely completes at least 4 shocks replacements and 6 brake replacements a week. If he charges $400 for labor replacing shocks and $300 in labor for replacing brakes, how many jobs of each type should he complete a week to maximize his income?arrow_forward2.) You need to buy some filing cabinets. You know that Cabinet X costs $10 per unit, requires 6 square feet of floor space, and holds 8 cubic feet of files. Cabinet Y costs $20 per unit, requires 8 square feet of floor space, and holds 12 cubic feet of files. You have been given $140 for this purchase, though you don't have to spend that much. The office has room for no more than 72 square feet of cabinets. How many of each model should you buy in order to maximize storage volume? a) Formulate the problem, listing the decision variables, the objective function, and constraints (i.e., give the mathematical model).arrow_forward
