You are scheduling production of your popular Rustic Coffee Table. The table requires a top, fourlegs, 1/8 gallon of stain, 1/16 gallon of glue, 2 short braces between the legs and 2 long bracesbetween the legs, and a brass cap that goes on the bottom of each leg. You have 100 gallons ofglue in inventory, but none of the other components. All items except the brass caps, stain, andglue are ordered on a lot-for-lot basis. The caps are purchased in quantities of 1,000, stain and glueby the gallon. Lead time is 1 day for each item. a) Schedule the order releases necessary to produce 640 coffee tables on days 5 and 6, and128 on days 7 and 8. (See Appendix A1.)

Refer to the table below. Assume that the company involved now finds that the learning rate is 71 percent. The 71 percent learning rate coefficient is −0.494109; that is b = −0.494109 in the formula Y = aXb. Required: Using the formula, Y = aXb, compute the labor time and costs for 5, 6, and 7 units.

Constrained Optimization A firm's total cost function is: C = 6x2 - xy + 10y2 + 30, subject to the production quota x + y = 34. Construct the Lagrange function and solve for the equilibrium values. Calculate the total cost. What is the equilibrium value of x? What is the equilibrium value of y? What is the equilibrium value of λ? What is the optimized value of cost? What is the value of the determinant of the bordered Hessian matrix? Based on the value of the determinant of the bordered Hessian matrix, comment on the optimized value of Cost.
