In the Green Grass shipping model, we currently assume that if a customer’s order is satisfied, it must be satisfied from a single plant. Suppose instead that it can be satisfied from more than one plant. For example, if the company decides to satisfy Dallas’s order, it could ship part of this order from Denver and part from Phoenix (or some other combination of open plants). Continue to assume, however, that the company must satisfy either all or none of each customer’s order. Modify the model appropriately and use Solver to solve it. Does the solution change?

Draw a decision tree given problem below. A businessman must decide whether to open a new mini grocery branch or simply extend the number of hours of its operation on its existing branch with a payoff of Php150,000. According to his friend, demand at a new location can either be low or high, which he probabilities are estimated to be 35% and 65%, respectively. If a new branch is opened and demand proves to be high, the businessman may choose to operate 24hrs (payoff is Php350, 000) or to operate 12hrs (payoff is Php200,000). If a new branch is opened and demand proves to be low, there is no need to operate on a 24-hr basis but instead, they will just stick to 12-hr operation with payoff of Php100,000 or enhance marketing strategy through advertising. Projected response to advertising may either be favorable or not favorable, with estimated probabilities of 40% and 60%, respectively. If demand is favorable, the payoff grows to Php310,000 and if the response in unfavorable, the payoff is…
A company owns the same asset in a ASIAN plant and in a UK plant . It has B $2,000,000 and a salvage value of 20% of B . For tax depreciation purposes, ASIA allows a straight line write-off over 5 years, while the UK allows SL write-off over 8 years. The general managers of the two plants want to know the difference in the depreciation amount for year 5.
This question straightforward checkbook balancer that would include a succession of stores (positive drifting point values) and issuances (negative drifting point values) ended by a 0. It would yield the exchange type, the sum and the running equilibrium for every section. Expect the underlying equilibrium of 0. Guarantee that the gave check won't bounce it is.
Suppose that each firm in a perfectly competitive market has a cost of TC = 75 + 500Q - 5Q2 + 0.5Q3 Determine if this is a short-run or long-run cost function (motivate):
Vandelay Industries has 275 sales reps in order to sell its latex products, each to be assigned to one of four marketing teams. If the first team is to have four times as many members as the second team and the third team is to have five times as many members as the fourth team, how can the members be distributed among the teams?
1) For the following “Producer-consumer Problem using Semaphores”, (a) Will there be any deadlock if the order of the downs were switched, for the producer or for the consumer individually as well as together (so, 3 combinations)? Explain. Now, (b) similarly consider the order of ups and show (3 combinations again) – when you assume that the ups are switched then keep the downs intact (not switched).
Following on your job in modelling the employee assignments from the previous practical, you’ve now obtained the following business rules: One Employee supervises Many Employees, and possibly none, and a max of 20. One Employee is supervised by One Employee, and not none. One Employee takes on Many Assignments, and possibly none. One Assignment is taken on by One Employee, and not none. One Assignment takes place in One Section, and not none. One Section appears in Many Assignments, and possibly none. One Section belongs to One Building, and not none. One Building has Many Sections, and possibly none, and a max of 20. You have also been given a small sample of their records, in case this may prove useful. It is below.

In Figure, suppose that the wellheads can be divided into two groups depending on gas pressure: a high-pressure group that includes wells 2, 3, 4, and 6 and a low-pressure group that includes wells 5, 7, 8, and 9 . Because of pressure difference, it is not possible to link the wellheads from the two groups. At the same time, both groups must be connected to the delivery point through wellhead 1. Determine the minimum pipeline network for this situation. Choices: a.) Set length of arcs 3-5, 5-3, 4-5, 5-4, 4-7, 7-4, 5-6, and 6-5 to ∞ : Total length = 53 b.) Set length of arcs 3-5, 5-3, 4-5, 5-4, 4-7, 7-4, 5-6, and 6-5: Total length = 53 c.) Set length of arcs 3-5, 5-3, 4-5, 5-4, 4-7, 7-4, 5-6, and 6-7 to ∞ : Total length = 53 d.) Set length of arcs 3-5, 5-3, 4-5, 5-4, 4-7, 7-4, and 6-5 to ∞ : Total length = 53
Based on the following scenario, what is the total cost for the order of the optimal solution? Southeastern University must purchase 1000 dorm bunk beds from up to five vendors (they can chose 1-5 of the vendors). Vendor 1 charges $500 per bed but there delivery is free. Vendor 2 charges $350 per bed plus a total delivery charge of $4,000. Vendor 3 charges $250 per bed plus a total delivery charge of $6,000. Vendor 4 charges $300 per bed plus a total delivery charge of $4,500. Vendor 5 charges $225 per bed plus a total delivery charge of $8,000. Vendor 1 will sell the university at most 600 beds; vendor 2, at most 900; and vendor 3, at most 400; vendor 4, at most 550, and vendor 5; at most 700. The minimum order from any vendor is 200 beds. Determine how to minimize the costs of purchasing the needed beds.
