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…

Your company makes hand sanitizer in two lines: Moisturizing+, and StandardSoap. On the market, Moisturizing+ retails for $175/L and StandardSoap retails for $95/L. 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. You want to maximize your monthly profit. Assume that…

The most critical challenge for Chase in my opinion, was customer retention. My analysis of the value of the 100k points and point accumulation rate vs annual and merchant fees and interest suggested that Chase is actually spending most of the merchant fees on points (merchant fees are 1.5 to 2.2 cents/$, point accumulation is 1.5 cents/$) and $300 of the $450 annual fee on travel credit. I assumed that interest income would be small, just enough to cancel out administrative expenses, because affluent customers with plenty of money don't need to run balances and know how to manage their finances. At this rate, even with high spending customers, per customer annual margin will be about $400 so it could take between 3 and four years to pay off the initial investment in points alone (ignoring other customer acquisition costs, like advertising). Since retention rates are typically 60-90%, Chase could easily lose money if retention wasn't high. I suggested that they offer a retention…
