We produce a breakfast cereal containing oats and rice (among other ingredients). We want to ensure there is at least 96 mg of vitamin A and at least 24 mg of vitamin B in each box. An ounce of oats contains 8 mg of vitamin A and 1 mg of vitamin B. An ounce of rice contains 6 mg of vitamin A and 2 mg of vitamin B. Oats cost $.05/ounce and rice costs $.03/ounce. what are the constants

Suppose that it costs $15 to produce a low-quality wallet and $16 to produce a high-quality wallet, consumers cannot distinguish between the products before purchase, there are no repeat purchases, and consumers value the wallets at their cost of production. The twenty firms in the market produce 500 wallets each. Each firm produces only high-quality or low-quality wallets. Consumers pay the expected value of a wallet. Do any of the firms produce high-quality wallets? A firm will not have an incentive to produce high-quality wallets: If one firm makes a high-quality wallet, then each firm that produces low-quality wallets will earn a profit of $ and the firm that makes the high-quality wallets will earn S.

Barbara Flynn sells papers at a newspaper stand for $0.40. The papers cost her $0.30, giving her a $0.10 profit on each one she sells. From past experience Barbara knows that: a) 20% of the time she sells 150 papers. b) 20% of the time she sells 200 papers. c) 30% of the time she sells 250 papers. d) 30% of the time she sells 300 papers. Assuming that Barbara believes the cost of a lost sale to be $0.05 and any unsold papers cost her $0.30 and she orders 250 papers. Use the following random numbers: 14, 4, 13, 9, and 25 for simulating Barbara's profit. (Note: Assume the random number interval begins at 01 and ends at 00.) Based on the given probability distribution and the order size, for the given random number Barbara's sales and profit are (enter your responses for sales as integers and round all profit responses to two decimal places): Random Number Sales Profit 14 4 13 9 25

Monsanto sells genetically modified seed to farmers. It needs to decide how much seed to put into a warehouse to serve demand for the next growing season. It will make one quantity decision. It costs Monsanto $8 to make each kilogram (kg) of seed. It sells each kg for $45. If it has more seed than demanded by the local farmers, the remaining seed is sent overseas. Unfortunately, it only earns $3 per kg from the overseas market (but this is better than destroying the seed because it cannot be stored until next year). If demand exceeds its quantity, then the sales are lost—the farmers go to another supplier. As a forecast for demand, it will use a normal distribution with a mean of 300,000 and a standard deviation of 100,000. Round your answer to 2 digits after the decimal point if it is not an integer. Do NOT use comma in your numeric answers. Use excel for accurate numbers. Don't round until the end. Monsanto’s maximum profit for this seed is $[xa]. The underage cost is $[xb]. The…
Tom is a habitual shopper at garage sales. Last Saturday he stopped at one where there were several types of used building materials for sale. At the low prices being asked, Tom knew that he could resell the items in another town for a substantial gain. Four things stood in his way: he could only make one round trip to resell the goods; his pickup truck bed would hold only 1200 pounds; the pickup truck bed could hold at most 80 cubic feet of merchandise; and he had only $190 cash with him. He wants to load his truck with the mix of materials that will yield the greatest profit when he resells them. Formulate (define objective function and constraints) and solve this problem (using excel solver) as a linear program.
You are a Business Analyst working for the ABC Ball Bearing company. An hour ago, you sent an order of 74 boxes of your A1 ball bearings to a customer on your delivery truck. You have just found out that your truck is going to go over a bridge that has a weight limit of 11,500 lbs. You need to determine if your truck will safely make it over the bridge. If you determine that the truck cannot make it over the bridge, you will need to call the driver and have him/her turn back. The plant manager has told you that an empty delivery truck with the driver weights about 8500 lbs. You have 30 boxes of the A1 ball bearings in your plant. You immediately had them weighed. The weights of the boxes are: 40.1 41.1 39.5 40.1 39.1 41.2 37.6 39.1 41.6 40.8 43.2 38.9 38.1 43.5 36.9 39.1 40.5 41.2 37.6 44.0 38.0 39.8 42.1 38.6 41.3 43.7 36.9 43.6 38.1 40.2 1.

Struggling with answering this question A manufacturer produces three types of humidifiers. The retail price of Humidifier Regular (HR) is $60 with variable costs of $20. Humidifier Advanced (HA) sells for $200 for its advanced features. This model’s variable costs are $80. Humidifier Simple (HS) is a simplified version and only sells for $25 with variable costs of $15. The manufacturer has machines and facilities worth $320,000 annually. The sales data show that 1000 units of HR, 2000 units of HA, and 10,000 units of HS was sold last year. Calculate the break-even point of the firm. The firm has some idle capacity at these volumes and chooses to cut the selling price of HR from $60 to $45, believing that its sales volume will rise from 1000 units to 2500 units. What is the revised break-even point?

You are the president of XYZ Manufacturing company. You have recently learned about the following issue: A month ago, the company’s general manager (GM) told one of the line managers to produce an extra 15,000 units of a product so that there would be inventory in stock for the next time the item is ordered. Last week, the GM scolded the line manager for having 15,000 units of the item in stock. The GM told the line manager that producing excess inventory costs the company money and should never be done. The GM then puts the line manager on a performance plan. This is not the first time you have heard about the GM telling an employee to do one thing only to criticize him or her for doing it later. This employee feels very frustrated by this, but does not want to make a formal complaint because she has seen other employees lose their jobs or get demoted for questioning the GM. Create an outline that proposes a leadership solution to this issue. The outline should address the following:…
