You make the hand sanitizer by combining lotion, soap, and secret ingredient SpecialX. These ingredients are purchased from a mysterious supplier, and you can purchase at most 4000L of lotion, 5000L of soap, and 750L of SpecialX in a month. Lotion costs $25/L, soap costs $10/L, and SpecialX costs $35/L. To make 1L of Moisturizing+, you need to combine 0.5L of lotion, 0.3L of soap, and 0.2L of SpecialX. To make 1L of StandardSoap, you need to combine 0.4L of lotion, 0.55L of soap, and 0.05L of SpecialX. Your company has committed to donating 500L of StandardSoap to a local charity. Since this is a donation, you will not receive any revenue. However, the costs and purchasing limits apply to both the hand sanitizer that is sold on the market and donated to charity.

Let’s say your desired return on sale is 40% and since it is a home-based small business, she will not have any fixed expenses related to baking. Using the Unit Product Cost, compute for the unit product cost and the marked-up price of her brownies.
Suppose it costs $10,000 to purchase a new car. Theannual operating cost and resale value of a used car areshown in Table 4. Assuming that one now has a new car,determine a replacement policy that minimizes the net costsof owning and operating a car for the next six years.
Consider two products A and B that have identical cost, retail price and demand parameters and the same short selling season. The newsvendor model is used to manage inventory for both products. Product A is to be discontinued at the end of the season this year, and the leftovers will be salvaged at 65% of the cost. Product B will be re-offered next summer, so any leftovers this year can be carried over to the next year while incurring a holding cost on each leftover unit equal to 20% of the product's cost. How do the stocking quantities for these products compare? Multiple Choice Stocking quantity of product A is higher. Stocking quantity of product B is higher. The answer cannot be determined from the data provided. Stocking quantities are equal.
Consider a closed-loop supply chain subject to both finite product life cycle and limited component durability. The sales rate follows an isosceles trapezoid with T = 6 years, Q = 18000, and z = 2. The time interval between the sale of a product and its possible resale after being collected and remanufactured is 2 years. The maximum number of lives n is 2 for the product. Remanufactured and new items are perfect substitutes. Assume that Cman = 4, Creman = 1.5, Ccoll = 0.5, and Cdisp = 0.5. Calculate the average production cost difference ∆C (a) when the collection rate c is 1 and (b) when c is 0.5.

Explain how RPM can be used to increase retailer demand for inventories and thereby increase manufacturer profit. Explain whether profitable RPM can either increase or decrease welfare and how this depends on the variation in demand. Use diagrams and verbal explanation to explain your answer. Demonstrate the profit and welfare consequences of RPM by solving the 'RPM and Inventories Model' model done in class for the parameter value indicated below. RPM and Inventories Model Manufacturer MC = 0, Dealer MC = 0, Low and high demand are equally likely Low demand: qL = 1 - pL, High demand: qH = S(1 - pH) Parameter value: S = 4
