- Seas Beginning sells clothing by mail order. An important question is when to strike a customer from the companys mailing list. At present, the company strikes a customer from its mailing list if a customer fails to order from six consecutive catalogs. The company wants to know whether striking a customer from its list after a customer fails to order from four consecutive catalogs results in a higher profit per customer. The following data are available: If a customer placed an order the last time she received a catalog, then there is a 20% chance she will order from the next catalog. If a customer last placed an order one catalog ago, there is a 16% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order two catalogs ago, there is a 12% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order three catalogs ago, there is an 8% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order four catalogs ago, there is a 4% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order five catalogs ago, there is a 2% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. It costs 2 to send a catalog, and the average profit per order is 30. Assume a customer has just placed an order. To maximize expected profit per customer, would Seas Beginning make more money canceling such a customer after six nonorders or four nonorders?Please show solution and formula used. Assuming the total number of students studying in the top four universities in the Philippines is approximately 158,000. And the distribution is as follows: University of the Philippines (UP) - 40% of the total number Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) - 23,700 De La Salle University (DLSU) - 25% of the total number University of Santo Tomas - 20% of the total number And only the following number of students owns a tablet computer: 20% of UP students 85% of ADMU students 90% of DLSU students 85% of UST students What is the total market penetration of tablet computers among the students of the top four universities? What is the total market size of tablet computers in the top four universities?The following payment period ratios, averaged, for borrowings were reported for the year 2021 by five competing biotech firms in San Diego: KLM-0.378 NOP = 0.348 QRS 0.421 UTV -0.355 XYZ 0.353 Question: Which of these five blotech firms reported the most efficient ("best") ratio for loan O Blotech firm XYZ O Biotech firm UTV OBotech firm KLM 1O Blotech firim QRS Botech firm NOP
- Long-Life Insurance has developed a linear model that it uses to determine the amount of term life Insurance a family of four should have, based on the current age of the head of the household. The equation is: y=150 -0.10x where y= Insurance needed ($000) x = Current age of head of household b. Use the equation to determine the amount of term life Insurance to recommend for a family of four of the head of the household is 40 years old. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Amount of term life insurance thousandsThe Fish House (TFH) in Norfolk, Virginia, sells fresh fish and seafood. TFH receives daily shipments of farm-raised trout from a nearby supplier. Each trout costs $2.45 and is sold for $3.95. To maintain its reputation for freshness, at the end of the day TFH sells any leftover trout to a local pet food manufacturer for $1.25 each. The owner of TFH wants to determine how many trout to order each day. Historically, the daily demand for trout is: Demand 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Probability 0.02 0.06 0.09 0.11 0.13 0.15 0.18 0.11 0.07 0.05 0.03 a. Construct a payoff matrix for this problem. b. How much should the owner of TFH be willing to pay to obtain a demand forecast that is 100% accurate? give a clear explanation for (b)Companies A, B, and C supply components to three plants (F, G, and H) via two crossdocking facilities (D and E). It costs $4 to ship from D regardless of final destination and $3 to ship to E regardless of supplier. Shipping to D from A, B, and C costs $3, $4, and $5, respectively, and shipping from E to F, G, and H costs $10, $9, and $8, respectively. Suppliers A, B, and C can provide 200, 300 and 500 units respectively and plants F, G, and H need 350, 450, and 200 units respectively. Crossdock facilities D and E can handle 600 and 700 units, respectively. Logistics Manager, Aretha Franklin, had previously used "Chain of Fools" as her supply chain consulting company, but now turns to you for some solid advice. Set up the solution in Excel and solve with Solver. What are total costs?

According to the CTA, the mean time taken for the trip is 50 minutes. Suppose the travel time is Normally distributed with standard deviation σ = 4 minutes. A random sample of 25 trips is obtained, and the time for each is recorded. Find the probability that the sample mean time will be less than 48 minutes.Using the grid technique to determine the least-cost location (warehouse) for this problem: Tons Rate X - Coordinates Y – Coordinates S1 200 0.5 2 14 S2 300 0.6 6 10 M1 100 1 2 2 M2 100 2 10 14 M3 100 1 14 18 M4 100 2 14 6 The Grid center coordination is ____ and _____ (round the results to 1 decimal place) Group of answer choices (9.9; 7.8) (5.5; 6.9) (8.7; 10.5) (10.5; 6.4) (9.9; 8.9)
