In Solver’s sensitivity report for the product mix model, the allowable decrease for available assembling hours is 2375. This means that something happens when assembling hours fall to 20,000 - 2375 = 17,625. See what this means by first running Solver with 17,626 available hours and then again with 17,624 available hours. Explain how the two solutions compare to the original solution and to each other.

Select one: None of the answers are correct If the market is weak-form efficient, then it is also semistrong and strong-form efficient. If the market is semistrong form efficient, then it is also strong form efficient If a market is strong-form efficient, it is also semistrong and weak form efficient If the market is strong-form efficient, it is also semistrong but not weak-form efficientThe seasonal yield of olives in a Piraeus, Greece, vineyard is greatly influenced by a process of branch pruning. If olive trees are pruned every two weeks, output is increased. The pruning process, however, requires considerably more labor than permitting the olives to grow on their own and results in a smaller size olive. It also, though, permits olive trees to be spaced closer together. The yield of 1 barrel of olives by pruning requires 5 hours of labor and 1 acre of land. The production of a barrel of olives by the normal process requires only 2 labor hours but takes 2 acres of land. An olive grower has 250 hours of labor available and a total of 150 acres for growing. Because of the olive size difference, a barrel of olives produced on pruned trees sells for $20, whereas a barrel of regular olives has a market price of $30. The grower has determined that because of uncertain demand, no more than 40 barrels of pruned olives should be produced.

The management of Madeira Computing is considering the introduction of a wearable electronic device with the functionality of a laptop computer and phone. The fixed cost to launch this new product is $300,000. The variable cost for the product is expected to be between $128 and $192, with a most likely value of $160 per unit. The product will sell for $240 per unit. Demand for the product is expected to range from 0 to approximately 20,000 units, with 4,000 units the most likely.

Galaxy procures each pair of goggles for $150 from its supplier and sells each pair of goggles for $300. Monthly demand for the VR goggles is a normal random variable with a mean of 160 units and a standard deviation of 40 units. At the beginning of each month, Galaxy orders enough goggles from its supplier to bring the inventory level up to 140 goggles. If the monthly demand is less than 140, Galaxy pays $20 per pair of goggles that remains in inventory at the end of the month. If the monthly demand exceeds 140, Galaxy sells only the 140 pairs of goggles in stock. Galaxy assigns a shortage cost of $40 for each unit of demand that is unsatisfied to represent a loss-of-goodwill among its customers. Management would like to use a simulation model to analyze this situation. (c) Use the simulation model…We all hate to bring small change to the store.
