- Chapter 6. Crypt-Me-Not Investments, Inc. is a new investment firm that deals exclusively with cryptocurrency investments. An investor wants to invest $100,000 in cryptocurrency next year and approaches them about investing in Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) which are currently selling at $175 and $1.00, respectively. The expected annual return on each unit of SOL is $180 and on each unit of DOGE is $100 and like everyone else, the investor wants to maximize their returns. The risk index associated with each unit of SOL is 1.6 and with each unit of DOGE is 1.8. Crypt-Me-Not recommends not crossing a total risk value of 5000 with the client’s investments. Moreover, since DOGE is substantially cheaper and less risky than SOL, the investor insists that a minimum of 1,000 units of DOGE in the portfolio is necessary. Based on these constraints, formulate a Linear Program and answer the following questions after solving it using Solver in Excel (Round up to the next whole number for first…Chapter 9. TechConsult Projects Ltd provides technical services to various small businesses in the San Antonio area. They have four technicians available to schedule and Tech1 can work for 160 hours, Tech2 can work for 100 hours, Tech3 can work for 160 hours, and Tech4 can work for 120 hours in the next month. Four clients are seeking technical services from the company and Client 1 requires 120 hours, Client 2 requires 120 hours, Client 3 requires 140 hours and Client 4 requires 160 hours of technical support in the next month. The billing rates for the technicians are based on the type of work each client project requires and the skills they have. The rates in dollars per hour are as follows.

At Hewlett-Packard (HP), billions of dollars of products—from computers and diagnostic devices to toner cartridges—are shipped each year. Customer orders come in twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. Nearly 16,000 different products are requested daily and must be shipped from six different warehouses—often located thirty or more miles apart. It often takes weeks to get the products into the customer’s hand. This is a serious problem with customers who have contracts with HP stating that deliveries are to be made in four hours or less. That means that from the time a customer calls the HP customer service line, they should have their replacement part and be back in operation within four hours—irrespective of where the customer is located! One characteristic that distinguishes an outstanding organization is its ability to know when…

X Chemical developed a new industrial lubricant which it felt could be producedat a price close to those of its competitors. The plant to manufacture the lubricant was built on land adjacentto the East River. X Chemical had already applied for and received the necessary permit that allows thecompany to dump waste materials in to the river. Several other chemical plants in the near vicinity are alsoreleasing their waste materials into the river.Bryan is concerned because the government agency which oversees the permit process has granted XChemical a permit to release more waste in the river than previously anticipated. An additional stage in theproduction process which would have reduced the waste and recycled some materials became unnecessarydue to the regulatory agency's decision. Because the additional process would have added capital andproduction…Dr. Doyle E. Campbell, an ophthalmologist, established his practice in southern Ohio in 1971. Many of Dr. Campbell’s patients are elderly people who qualify for federal Medicare benefits and state Medicaid benefits. Under the existing financing system, a doctor who treats a Medicare patient is required to submit a “Medicare Health Insurance Claim Form” (HCFA Form 1500). The doctor is required to certify that “the services shown on this form were medically indicated and necessary for the health of the patient and were personally rendered by me or were rendered incident to my professional service by my employees.” Claims Dr. Campbell submitted for his elderly patients ranged from $900 to $950, of which $530 to $680 were covered by the Medicare program. The government alleged that Dr. Campbell billed Medicare for several treatments that were either not performed or not necessary. 1 - Provide a paragraph with more than five sentences (i.e., in the section for “Purport”) that interprets the…
