1. For each statement specify whether it is True or False? MLP solver is a heuristic method. A local optimum is better than all nearby points. An optimization problem can only have one local optimal solution. A global optimum is the best point in the entire feasible region. An optimization problem can only have one global optimal solution. For linear optimization problems any local optimal solution is a global optimal solution. For some nonlinear programming problems, Solver can get stuck at a local optimum and never find the global optimum. Forsomelinearprogrammingproblems,Solvercangetstuckatalocaloptimumandnever find the global optimum. Solver is guaranteed to find the global optimum for convex nonlinear optimization problems. A heuristic is a relatively simple solution method that often provides good but not necessarily optimal solutions. MLP solver is a heuristic method.

A company faces the following demands during the next three weeks: Week 1, 20 units Week 2: 10 units Week 3, 15 units The unit production costs during each week are as follows: week 1, $10; week 2, $11; week 3, $15. A holding cost of $2 per unit is assessed against each week’s ending inventory. At the beginning of week 1, the company has five units on hand. No backlog is allowed in any week. Determine how to minimize the cost of meeting the demand for the next three weeks. Please solve in excel.

Which of the following statements is (are) true? A SEP requires the plan sponsor to provide at least a 100% match up to 3% of all employee deferrals. A SEP plan can be established by employers who employ more than 100 employees who earn $5,000 or more during the preceding calendar year. SIMPLEs can be either contributory or noncontributory plans, whereas newly established SEP plans are always noncontributory. An employer who wants to share the responsibility of retirement plan funding should establish a SIMPLE rather than a SEP. a. 4 only. b. 2 and 3. c. 1, 2, and 4. d. 2, 3, and 4.

What assumptions or approximations are necessary to treat this model as a deterministic model? Are these assumptions or approximations acceptable to you? 2. Suppose that a manager has a choice between the following two mathematical models of a given situation: (a)a relatively simple model that is a reasonable approximation of the real situation, and (b)a thorough and complex model that is the most accurate mathematical representation of the real situation possible. Why might the model described in part (a) be preferred by the manager?

2. Provident Capital Corp. specializes in investment portfolios designed to meet the specific risk tolerances of its clients. A client contacted Provident with P2,000,000 available to invest. Provident’s investment advisor recommends a portfolio consisting of two investment funds: the Dynamic fund and the Diversified fund. The Dynamic fund has a projected annual return of 10%, and the Diversified fund has a projected annual return of 8%. The investment advisor requires that at most P1,400,000 of the client’s funds should be invested in the Dynamic fund. Provident’s services include a risk rating for each investment alternative. The Dynamic fund, which is the more risky of the two investment alternatives, has a risk rating of 6 per P40,000 invested. The Diversified fund has a risk rating of 4 per P40,000 invested. For example, if P400,000 is invested in each of the two investment funds, Provident’s risk rating for the portfolio would be 6(10) + 4(10) = 100. Finally, Provident developed…
Forrester and Cohen is a small accounting firm, managedby Joseph Cohen since the retirement in December of hispartner Brad Forrester. Cohen and his three CPAs can togetherbill 640 hours per month. When Cohen or another accountantbills more than 160 hours per month, he or she gets an additional"overtime" pay of$62.50 for each of the extra hours: this is aboveand beyond the $5,000 salary each draws during the month.(Cohen draws the same base pay as his employees.) Cohenstrongly discourages any CPA from working (billing) more than240 hours in any given month. The demand for billable hours forthe firm over the next 6 months is estimated below: Cohen has an agreement with Forrester, his former partner,to help out during the busy tax season, if needed, for an hourly feeof $125. Cohen will not even consider laying off one of his colleaguesin the case of a slow economy. He could, however,…
