Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. Hoosier Power needs to determine a capacity expansion plan to meet Bloomington’s power needs for the next 20 years. The current capacity is 5,000 kWh. The demand for the current year is 4,000 kWh, and demand is expected to increase by 1,000 kWh in each succeeding year. At the beginning of each year, Hoosier Power must determine the amount of capacity to add, given the following inputs: Any year in which capacity is added, a fixed cost of $120,000 is incurred plus a cost of $120 per kWh of capacity; At most 10,000 kwh of capacity can be added in a single year; It costs $24 per year to maintain a unit of capacity; It costs $12 per year to produce one kWh; If production does not meet demand, a shortage cost of $75 per kWh short is incurred. Hoosier Power wants to determine a capacity expansion plan with the minimal total cost to meet Bloomington’s power needs for the next 20 years. Define the decision variables and write down the…
Chalimbana university farm is about to hire workers for its production of cabbage in a space of 5 months. as a student of farm management, you decide to increase the labour by 2 units at the first output,1 unit in the second and third output, 16 units in the fourth output and 20 units in the fifth output at each production level. The farm then realizes an output of 10,25, 65,30, and 30 in that period. The farm workers got a wage of k40 per month.a. Calculate the following at different level of output.i. marginal product, (MP) ii marginal revenue product (MRP) iii marginal resource cost (MRC)
Mary is planning to do two part-time jobs, one in the retail store ABC and the other in the restaurant LMNO, to earn tuition. She decides to earn at least $120 per week. In ABC, she can work 5 to 12 hours a week, and in LMNO, she can work 4 to 10 hours a week. The hourly wages of ABC and LMNO are $6 per hour and $8 per hour, respectively. When deciding how long to work in each place, Mary hopes to make a decision based on work stress. According to reviews on the Internet, Mary estimates that the stress levels of ABC and LMNO are 1 and 2 for each hour of working, respectively (stress levels are between 1 and 5; a large value means a high work stress which may cause work and life imbalance). Since stress accumulates over time, she assumes that the total stress of working in any place is proportional to the number of hours she works in that place. (a)How many hours should Mary work in each place per week? State verbally the objective, constraints and decision…
Rand Enterprises is considering a number of investment possibilities. Specifically, each investment under consideration will draw on the capital account during each of its first three years, but in the long run, each is predicted to achieve a positive net present value (NPV). Listed here are the investment alternatives, their net present values, and their capital requirements, and all figures are in millions of dollars. In addition, the amount of capital available to the investments in each of the next three years is predicted to be $20 million, $12 million, and $20 million, respectively.
