Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.
In Problem 12 of the previous section, suppose that the demand for cars is normally distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Use @RISK to determine the best order quantityin this case, the one with the largest mean profit. Using the statistics and/or graphs from @RISK, discuss whether this order quantity would be considered best by the car dealer. (The point is that a decision maker can use more than just mean profit in making a decision.)

C) 1.45 Z, 8.36 Y, and 0 Z for $129.09. D) 14 Z, 13 Y, and 17 X for $9.81. 3-3) Taco Loco is unsure whether the amount of beef that their computer thinks is in inventory is correct. What is the range in values for beef inventory that would not affect the optimal product mix? A) 26 to 38.22 pounds B) 27.55 to 28.45 pounds C) 17.78 to 30 pounds D) 12.22 to 28 pounds
The demand for a certain product is given by p + 4q = 316, and the supply for this product is given by p-6q = 26, where p is the price and q is the number of products. Complete parts ( a) and (b) below. a. Find the price at which the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.
Consider a monopolistically competitive market with NN firms. Each firm's business opportunities are described by the following equations: Demand: Q=100N−PQ=100N−P Marginal Revenue: MR=100N−2QMR=100N−2Q Total Cost: TC=50+Q2TC=50+Q2 Marginal Cost: MC=2QMC=2Q How much profit does each firm make? a: 1,250/N*2−50 b: 2,500/N*2−50 c: 50+625/N*2 d: 1,875/N*2 In the long run, how many firms will exist in this market?

A bakery that orders cartons of bread mix has used an EOQ model to determine that an order quantity of 90 cartons per order is economically optimal. The bakery needs 150 cartons per month to meet demand. It takes L days for the bakery’s supplier to deliver an order. When should the bakery place its orders when L = 2, when L = 5, and when L = 10? (Assume that the bakery and its supplier both work seven-day weeks and that there are 30 days per month.)

(1) When chef Paolo prices his speciality ‘pizza-n-all’ meal at £25, he sells 20 meals a day. When he prices his pizza meal at £22, he sells 21 meals a day. Suppose Paolo reduces his price from £25 to £22. Explain the impact of the price reduction on the revenue he receives from the first 20 meals he sells. Total Revenue – Price X Quantity. Revenue @ £25 = £25 X 20 = £500. Revenue @ £22 = £25 X 20 = £440 The impact of the price reduction is a reduction in total revenue of £60 (-12%) over the first 20 meals that he sells. Calculate the additional revenue generated from the additional meals he sells when he lowers his price to £22. Total Revenue = Price X Quantity. Total Revenue @ £22 = £22 X 21 = £462. Additional Revenue = Revenue @ £25 – revenue @ £22 = £500 - £462 = -£38. Calculate the marginal revenue Paolo receives from the 21st meal. How does that amount relate to the amounts you calculated in (a) and (b)? (3%) Suppose Paolo reduces his price from £25 to £22. Explain…
A hospital orders its thermometers from a hospitalsupply firm. The cost per thermometer depends on the ordersize q, as shown in Table 6. The annual holding cost is 25%of the purchasing cost. Let EOQ80 be the EOQ if the costper thermometer is 80¢, and let EOQ79 be the EOQ if thecost per thermometer is 79¢.a Explain why EOQ79 will be larger than EOQ80. b Explain why the optimal order quantity must be ei-ther EOQ79, EOQ80, or 100. c If EOQ80 100, show that the optimal order quan-tity must be EOQ79. d If EOQ80 100 and EOQ79 100, show that theoptimal order quantity must be either EOQ80 or 100.e If EOQ80 100 and EOQ79 100, show that the optimal order quantity must be EOQ79.
The annual demand for a product of XYZ company is 12.000. The cost of ordering this product is CU25 and the holding cost is CU0.5/(piece year). The company in question wishes to follow the "Pending Order" stock policy and the holding cost is CU5/(piece year). The lead time for this product is 2 days and it is worked for 300 days a year. In this case, calculate the economic order quantity, the highest pending order quantity and the highest stock level
A firm is considering importing some products to sell in a local market. The unit price and cost for product i are p; and Cį, respectively. While the prices may be determined by the firm, the costs are given and fixed. For product i, the demand volume is Aį – Bipi, where A; and Bi are all given. The amount of budget that may be used to purchase all products is K. The demand volume may be fractional. Formulate a mathematical program that can find a purchasing plan that maximizes the firm's profit. Determine whether your program is an LP, IP, or NLP.
