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.
You manage a production line that operates using a monthly production cycle. There are five different products that could be made this month. However, you only have 500 hours of line capacity, so you must be careful which products you select to make in the production cycle. Making a product incurs two types of setup costs: (1) a material “tear down” cost (measured in dollars) and (2) downtime for line preparation (measured in hours). Any quantity up to the forecasted monthly demand can be sold. Additional production details are given in the table below: Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 Product 4 Product 5 Monthly Demand 1000 units 1100 units 1700 units 1600 units 1500 units Revenue (per unit) $150 $175 $155 $200 $225 Production Cost (per unit) $60 $70 $60 $100 $110 Set Up Cost $10000 $15000 $25000 $10000 $5000 Set Up Time 25 hrs 15 hrs 0 hrs 10 hrs 30 hrs Production Time (per unit) .1 hrs .12…

Hello. I need help with this Order-up-to policy question for homework. I'm stuck! You play a Retailer in the Beer Game. You receive orders directly from the Customer and place orders with the Wholesaler. When you place an order, it takes 2 weeks for the order to be received by the Wholesaler and 2 weeks for the shipment from the Wholesaler to arrive to your warehouse. One period is one week in the game. You are charged $0.5 for each unit of inventory per week, and $1.00 for each unit of backlog per week. It has been estimated that the Customer weekly demand follows a normal distribution with a mean 50,000 cases and a standard deviation 10,000 cases. What should be the order-up-to level to minimize holding and backorder costs? What safety stock should you keep? Assume that the Wholesaler keeps enough inventory to cover your demand and delivers the beer after the lead time with no uncertainty.

A company produces two products: A and B. Prod-uct A sells for $11 per unit and product B sells for $23 per unit. Producing a unit of product A requires two hours on assembly line 1 and one unit of raw ma-terial. Producing a unit of product B requires two units of raw material, one unit of A, and two hours on as-sembly line 2. On line 1, 1300 hours of time are avail-able, and 500 hours are available on line 2. A unit of raw material can be bought (for $5 a unit) or produced(at no cost) by using two hours of time on line 1.a. Determine how to maximize profit.b. The company will stop buying raw material whenthe price of raw material exceeds what value? (UseSolverTable.)
Max the Tailor is going to sell custom suits. He was able to rent a garage from his Uncle Ed for $2,000 a month, which includes utilities, and he already owns the equipment he needs. He anticipates being able to sell his suits for $500 each. The raw materials (fabric, buttons, zippers, thread, etc.) will cost an average of $75 for each suit, and he plans to spend $25 per suit to advertise them. Assuming these are all the costs and revenues, what will be Max’s monthly break-even point in units? Does this seem like a reasonable amount for him to produce and sell every month? Please show your calculations.
