Ohio Swiss Milk Products manufactures and distributes ice cream in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The company wants to expand operations by locating another plant in northern
Ohio. The size of the new plant will be a function of the expected demand for ice cream within the area served by the plant. A market survey is currently under way to determine that
demand.
Ohio Swiss wants to estimate the relationship between the manufacturing cost per gallon and the number of gallons sold in a year to determine the demand for ice cream and, thus, the
size of the new plant. The following data have been collected:

She is trying to determine whether to build a large wing on the existing hospital, a small wing, or no wing at all. If the population of Lowell continues to grow, a large wing could return $150,000 to the hospital each year. If a small wing were built, it would return $100,000 to the hospital each year if the population continues to grow. If the population of Lowell remains the same, the hospital would encounter a loss of $85,000 with a large wing and a loss of $45,000 with a small wing. Unfortunately, Suit does not have any information about the future population of Lowell. a. Assuming that each state of nature has the same likelihood, determine the best alternative.

- A company produces a product at two plants, 1 and 2. The unit production cost and production capacity during each period are: Unit production cost $ capacity Plant 1 (period 1) 33 7 Plant 1 (period 2) 43 4 Plant2 (period 1) 30 9 Plant 2 (period 2) 41 9 The product is instantaneously shipped to the company's only customer according to the unit shipping costs below: Period 1 Period 2 Plant 1 to customer $51 $60 Plant 2 to customer $42 $71 If a unit is produced and shipped during period 1, it can still be used to meet a period 2 demand, but a holding cost of $13 per unit in inventory is assessed. At the end of period 1, at most six units may be held in inventory. Demands are as follows: period 1, 9; period 2, 11. Formulate an MCNFP that can be use to minimize the cost of meeting all demands on time.
