- Lemingtons is trying to determine how many Jean Hudson dresses to order for the spring season. Demand for the dresses is assumed to follow a normal distribution with mean 400 and standard deviation 100. The contract between Jean Hudson and Lemingtons works as follows. At the beginning of the season, Lemingtons reserves x units of capacity. Lemingtons must take delivery for at least 0.8x dresses and can, if desired, take delivery on up to x dresses. Each dress sells for 160 and Hudson charges 50 per dress. If Lemingtons does not take delivery on all x dresses, it owes Hudson a 5 penalty for each unit of reserved capacity that is unused. For example, if Lemingtons orders 450 dresses and demand is for 400 dresses, Lemingtons will receive 400 dresses and owe Jean 400(50) + 50(5). How many units of capacity should Lemingtons reserve to maximize its expected profit?In Problem 12 of the previous section, suppose that the demand for cars is normally distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Use @RISK to determine the best order quantityin this case, the one with the largest mean profit. Using the statistics and/or graphs from @RISK, discuss whether this order quantity would be considered best by the car dealer. (The point is that a decision maker can use more than just mean profit in making a decision.)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.
- PRICING SUITS AT SULLIVANS Sullivans is a retailer of upscale mens clothing. Suits cost Sullivans 320. The current price of suits to customers is 350. which leads to annual sales of 300 suits. The elasticity of the demand for mens suits is estimated to be 2.5 and assumed to be constant over the relevant price range. Each purchase of a suit leads to an average of 2.0 shirts and 1.5 ties being sold. Each shirt contributes 25 to profit, and each tie contributes 15 to profit. Determine a profit-maximizing price for suits. In the complementary-product pricing model in Example 7.3, we have assumed that the profit per unit from shirts and ties is given. Presumably this is because the prices of these products have already been set. Change the model so that the company must determine the prices of shirts and ties, as well the price of suits. Assume that the unit costs of shirts and ties are, respectively, 20 and 15. Continue to assume that, on average, 2.0 shirts and 1.5 ties are sold along with every suit (regardless of the prices of shirts and ties), but that shirts and ties have their own separate demand functions. These demands are for shirts and ties purchased separately from suit purchases. Assume constant elasticity demand functions for shirts and ties with parameters 288,500 and 1.7 (shirts), and 75,460 and 1.6 (ties). Assume the same unit cost and demand function for suits as in Example 7.3. a. How much should the company charge for suits, shirts, and ties to maximize the profit from all three products? b. The assumption that customers will always buy, on average, the same number of shirts and ties per suit purchase, regardless of the prices of shirts and ties, is not very realistic. How might you change this assumption, and change your model from part a accordingly, to make it more realistic?If a monopolist produces q units, she can charge 400 4q dollars per unit. The variable cost is 60 per unit. a. How can the monopolist maximize her profit? b. If the monopolist must pay a sales tax of 5% of the selling price per unit, will she increase or decrease production (relative to the situation with no sales tax)? c. Continuing part b, use SolverTable to see how a change in the sales tax affects the optimal solution. Let the sales tax vary from 0% to 8% in increments of 0.5%.The Pigskin Company produces footballs. Pigskin must decide how many footballs to produce each month. The company has decided to use a six-month planning horizon. The forecasted monthly demands for the next six months are 10,000, 15,000, 30,000, 35,000, 25,000, and 10,000. Pigskin wants to meet these demands on time, knowing that it currently has 5000 footballs in inventory and that it can use a given months production to help meet the demand for that month. (For simplicity, we assume that production occurs during the month, and demand occurs at the end of the month.) During each month there is enough production capacity to produce up to 30,000 footballs, and there is enough storage capacity to store up to 10,000 footballs at the end of the month, after demand has occurred. The forecasted production costs per football for the next six months are 12.50, 12.55, 12.70, 12.80, 12.85, and 12.95, respectively. The holding cost incurred per football held in inventory at the end of any month is 5% of the production cost for that month. (This cost includes the cost of storage and also the cost of money tied up in inventory.) The selling price for footballs is not considered relevant to the production decision because Pigskin will satisfy all customer demand exactly when it occursat whatever the selling price is. Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. Can you guess the results of a sensitivity analysis on the initial inventory in the Pigskin model? See if your guess is correct by using SolverTable and allowing the initial inventory to vary from 0 to 10,000 in increments of 1000. Keep track of the values in the decision variable cells and the objective cell.

The selling price for footballs is not considered relevant to the production decision because Pigskin will satisfy all customer demand exactly when it occursat whatever the selling price is. Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. As indicated by the algebraic formulation of the Pigskin model, there is no real need to calculate inventory on hand after production and constrain it to be greater than or equal to demand. An alternative is to calculate ending inventory directly and constrain it to be nonnegative. Modify the current spreadsheet model to do this. (Delete rows 16 and 17, and calculate ending inventory appropriately. Then add an explicit non-negativity constraint on ending inventory.)The Pigskin Company produces footballs.

Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. Modify the Pigskin model so that there are eight months in the planning horizon. You can make up reasonable values for any extra required data. Dont forget to modify range names. Then modify the model again so that there are only four months in the planning horizon. Do either of these modifications change the optima] production quantity in month 1?A retired couple supplement their income by making fruit pies, which they sell to a local grocery store. During the month of September, they produce apple and grape pies. The apple pies are sold for $10.00 to the grocer, and the grape pies are sold for $8.00. The couple is able to sell all of the pies they produce owing to their high quality. They use fresh ingredients. Flour and sugar are purchased once each month. For the month of September, they have 1,500 cups of sugar and 2,400 cups of flour. Each apple pie requires 1½ cups of sugar and 3 cups of flour, and each grape pie requires 2 cups of sugar and 3 cups of flour. a.

JJ knows that the fund must be sufficient to make the payments listed in Table. Each payment must be made on the first day of each year. JJ is going to finance these payments by purchasing bonds. It is currently January 1 of year 1, and three bonds are available for immediate purchase. The prices and coupons for the bonds are as follows. (We assume that all coupon payments are received on January 1 and arrive in time to meet cash demands for the year on which they arrive.) ■ Bond 1 costs $980 and yields a $60 coupon in the years 2 through 5 and a $1060 payment on maturity in the year 6.■ Bond 2 costs $970 and yields a $65 coupon in the years 2 through 11 and a $1065 payment on maturity in the year 12.■ Bond 3 costs $1050 and yields a $75 coupon in the years 2 through 14 and a $1075payment on maturity in the year 15.JJ must decide how much cash to allocate (from company coffers) to meet the initial $11,000…
