An energy company owns a power plant that generates electricity using a steam turbine. Coal is used to generate steam due to the presence of rich coal deposits in the campus. As it is known, some environmental standards must be followed regarding the use of coal in energy production. According to these standards; The acceptable amount of sulfur dioxide emitted to the environment is 2000 particles per million, and the amount of smoke is 20 kg per hour. The company uses two different qualities of powder coal, C1 and C2, in its steam facility. These two qualities of powder coal are mixed before use. It is accepted that the environmental pollution caused by sulfur is the weighted average of the amount of each quality coal used in the mixture. The data in the table below is obtained from two different quality coal when 1 ton per hour is used. Establish the linear programming (DP) model that gives the best mixing ratio of the two coals and determine the best solution?

Stanley Black & Decker produces drills at a manufacturing cost of $59/drill. Defective units can be reworked at a cost of $20/drill. The manufacturing process produces 87% good products and 69% of the defective drills can be reworked. What is the total manufacturing cost PER DRILL if you start a production run of 98 drills (meaning you would yield less)? Hint: don't round your Yield. Give your answer to two decimal places. DO NOT INCLUDE the $ symbol!
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.

CLV = Profit per year X Number of years as a customer (lifetime) less customer acquisition costs And we can use the churn rate % to tell us how many years our average customer stay by dividing 1/churn rate. In our case that is 1/20% = 5 years = customer lifetime. A supermarket chain ran a social media campaign and they got 2,000 new customers. The TOTAL cost of the campaign was $250,000. These customers visited the supermarket 25 times a year. Each customer spends $100 per visit and the supermarket makes a 4% profit margin on the customer’s spend. The retention rate of the customers is 60%. What is their CLV? Assume that the profit margin is based on the customer’s non-discounted spend, then deduct the discount.

Question: Sunblessed Juice Company sells bags of oranges and cartons of orange juice. Sunblessed grades oranges on a scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (excellent). At present, Sunblessed has 220,000 pounds of grade 6 oranges and 150,000 pounds of grade 9 oranges on hand. The aver- age quality of oranges sold in bags must be at least 7, and the average quality of the oranges used to produce orange juice must be at least 8. Each pound of oranges that is used for juice yields a revenue of $2.25 and in- curs a variable cost (consisting of labor costs, variable overhead costs, inventory costs, and so on) of $1.35. Each pound of oranges sold in bags yields a revenue of $2.00 and incurs a variable cost of $1.20. a. Determine how Sunblessed can maximize its profit.
Hydronos is a Greek manufacturer of yogurts that have gained popularity in the United States, so it has recently built a U.S. production plant and distribution center. To ensure that it complies with U.S. environmental standards, Hydronos is planning to implement efforts to reduce emissions and other industrial waste at its manufacturing plants using a program called Green-100. Green-100 covers all company procedures, from reducing manufacturing emissions, to how the lights are controlled in the plant, to how the truck drivers complete their routes. For example, under the new Green-100 guidelines, Hydronos has measured the amount of fuel drivers need to complete their routes for traveling at moderate speeds. If drivers choose to drive at higher speeds, they will need to pay for any extra fuel they use. Hydronos also has plans to install speed governors in its fleet of trucks to ensure that the drivers do not exceed speeds of 80 miles per hour. Mangements' claim that the new technology…

Grain dust is pound for pound more explosive than coal dust or gunpowder. Ignited by an electrostatic discharge or other cause, it has ripped apart grain silos and has killed or wounded many workers over the years. When 54 people were killed during Christmas week 1977, grain handlers and the U.S. government finally decided to combat dust accumulation.10 Ten years, 59 deaths, and 317 serious injuries later, a compromise standard was agreed on that designates dust accumulation of one-eighth inch or more as dangerous and impermissible in silos in the United States. Nevertheless, on Monday, June 8, 1998, a series of explosions killed seven workers performing routine maintenance at one of the largest grain elevators in the world, demolishing one of the 246 concrete, 120-feet-high silos that stretch over a length of one-half mile in Haysville, Kansas. Discuss grain facility explosions as a case study of workplace safety and rule making: Which ideas concerning acceptable risk apply here? My…
