Problem 10-27 (Algorithmic) A perishable dairy product is ordered daily at a particular supermarket. The product, which costs $1.23 per unit, sells for $1.74 per unit. If units are unsold at the end of the day, the supplier takes them back at a rebate of $1 per unit. Assume that daily demand is approximately normally distributed with p - 145 and o- 25. Note: Use Appendix B to identify the areas for the standard normal distribution. a. What is your recommended daily order quantity for the supermarket? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b. What is the probability that the supermarket will sell all the units it orders? Round your answer to three decimal places. P(Stockout) - c. In problems such as these, why would the suppler offer a rébate as high as $17 For example, why not offer a nominal rebate of, say, 25¢ per unit? What happens to the supermarket order quantity as the rebate is reduced? The lower rebate decreases v the quantity that the supermarket should order.

CWD Business systems maintains a successful Telecom sales department for Top up call creditin which a clerk takes orders by telephone. If the clerk is occupied on one line, incoming phonecalls to the department are answered automatically by an answering machine and asked to wait.As soon as the clerk is free, the party that has waited the longest is transferred and answered first.Calls come in at a rate of about 15 per hour. The clerk is capable of taking an order in an averageof 3 minutes. Calls tend to follow a Poisson distribution, and service times tend to be exponential.The clerk is paid $15 per hour, but because of lost goodwill and sales, CWD loses about $30 perhour of customer time spent waiting for the clerk to take an order. Part B CWD is considering adding a second clerk to take calls. The store would pay that person thesame $15 per hour.Using appropriate formula for the multiple channel model, answer the following questions. a. What is the probability that no customers are…

First Securities, Inc., an investment firm, has $380,000 on account. The chief investment officer would like to reinvest the $380,000 in a portfolio that would maximize return on investment while at the same time maintaining a relatively conservative mix of stocks and bonds.

3. As you know, the European Monetary Union (EMU) has recently adopted a common currency a single central bank (the ECB). Assume the cen- tral bank has direct control over the rate of inflation and has a standard loss function defined over output and inflation. Further suppose that all economies in the EMU follow the same underlying model, and that the ECB cannot commit to a particular policy. (a) Suppose a country has a different target level of output than the ECB. Further assume that a country which decides to leave the EMU pays some annual cost C in units of the loss function (this may be lost trade, fines, lost prestige, etc.) Work out the conditions under which a country will choose to leave the EMU. Provide an intuitive explanation for your answer. (b) Now suppose that a country has a different weight on inflation in its loss function. Assuming the same cost C as in part (a), work out the conditions…
b) An economy consists of three sectors which include agriculture, manufacturing, and energy. In general, part of the output of one sector is absorbed by another sector through inter- industry purchases, with the excess available to fulfill consumer demands. The intra- industrial and inter-industrial sales and purchases in millions of shillings for last financial year is From To Consumer Energy Agriculture Manufacturing demand Energy 160 200 40 400 Agriculture 160 400 40 400 Manufacturing 80 200 120 0 Consumer demand has been forecasted to be worth sh. 550 million, sh. 700 million and sh. 100 million from energy, agriculture and manufacturing respectively. Required (i) Determine the output from each sector that will satisfy the new demands. (ii) Distribute the output obtained in (ii) to the various users.

A manufacturer produces a toy sold during the summer season at a unit production cost of $5. The manufacturer sells the toy to a retailer, who then sells the product for $35 to the end customer. The manufacturer and retailer have agreed upon a revenue sharing contract that coordinates the supply chain and optimizes the expected profit of the entire supply chain (i.e., the retailer and the manufacturer), which is expected to be $4,000 over the summer selling season. If the wholesale price of the revenue sharing contract is $2, what is the manufacturer’s expected profit? PLEASE SHOW CALCULATIONS
1. OPER Health Center is rightfully worried about the need for additional physicians to cope with the increased patient flow. To see what the implications of increased flows would be, let us first investigate whether physicians are assigned efficiently in the current setting. Consider a typical day. The average numbers of patient arrivals to the health center during different times are shown in the following table. Time Slot Average Number of Patients # of physicans per hour 9-11am 32 9 11-1 pm 1-3 pm 20 23 10 9 3-5 pm 15 8 Coefficient of variation for the patient interarrival times is 1.4 and coefficient of variation for the activity times is 2. a) Compute the average waiting time to see a doctor for each time slot. (Remember that only 80% of patients visit the physicians). b) Suppose that the objective of BCG is to ensure that the average waiting time of a patient to see a physician is less than 25 minutes throughout the day (i.e., in each time slot) Develop a…
Ajax has established a new sandwich shop format for airports and train stations.Here, the sandwitches are only made from a specially made,long,individual loaf of bread.But the innovations is that the sandwiches are not made ahead in large batches.Intead,a few of each variety of sandwich are made at a time,in the shop,with the result being a better ability to exactly match supply to demand. If prior to this change the shop has roughly 5 percent leftovers of one-half of the sandwich varieties each day,but could have sold 10 percent more of the two best sellers that day,what are the potential benefits of the new format if the store sells 12 different sandwiches each with an average demand of 20 per day?
The Arctic Air Company produces residential air conditioners. The manufacturing manager wants to develop a sales and operations plan for the next year based on the following demand and capacity data (in hundreds of product units): Undertime is unpaid, and no cost is associated with unused overtime or subcontractor capacity. Producing one air conditioning unit on regular time costs $1,000, including $300 for labor. Producing a unit on overtime costs $1,150. A subcontractor can produce a unit to Arctic Air specifications for $1,250. Holding an air conditioner in stock costs $60 for each 2-month period, and 200 air conditioners are currently in stock. The plan calls for 400 units to be in stock at the end of period 6. No backorders are allowed. Use the transportation method to develop a plan that minimizes costs.
The Brazilian meat company SoCarnes wishes to start production in France. This new production is associated to a project with the following forecasted cash flows in euros (see table 1 below).
