For the basic age replacement model, consider a piece of equipment that costs$18,000 to replace. The total maintenance costs for five years of operation areestimated to be $2,400. Assuming a linear maintenance cost rate, find the value ofa and the optimal age at which the equipment should be replaced.

The Falcon model has a lighter engine and a smaller frame to make novice riders easier to balance. The Hawk is a little bigger and uses a heavier engine. Falcon requires 6 hours of manufacturing time and Hawk takes only 3 hours. Duluth's main plant in Kentucky has 2,100 hours of engine manufacturing time available. Duluth's vendors have the ability to supply as many Falcon frames as needed, but they only provide 280 Hawk frames. Falcon requires 2 hours of testing and 2.5 hours for Hawk. There are only 1,000 hours available for testing. The finance department estimates that the Falcon model contributes a profit of $2,400 and the Hawk $1,800.

- You are the president of XYZ Manufacturing company. You have recently learned about the following issue: A month ago, the company’s general manager (GM) told one of the line managers to produce an extra 15,000 units of a product so that there would be inventory in stock for the next time the item is ordered. Last week, the GM scolded the line manager for having 15,000 units of the item in stock. The GM told the line manager that producing excess inventory costs the company money and should never be done. The GM then puts the line manager on a performance plan. This is not the first time you have heard about the GM telling an employee to do one thing only to criticize him or her for doing it later. This employee feels very frustrated by this, but does not want to make a formal complaint because she has seen other employees lose their jobs or get demoted for questioning the GM. Create an outline that proposes a leadership solution to this issue. The outline should address the following:…arrow_forwardJankord Jewelers permits the return of their diamond wedding rings, provided the return occurs within two weeks.

- Write a program that contains statements that output the values of five orsix variables that have been defined, but not initialized. Compile and run theprogram. What is the output? Explain.arrow_forwardYou work for a small retail store. You must decide how many cases of kombucha to order. Twenty cases fit on a pallet and because of shipping costs, orders must be placed in multiples of 20. You can either order 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 cases. Each case costs $15. If you order more than 1 pallet, you receive a discount of 5% per additional pallet ordered (2 pallets would be 5%, 3 would be 10%, etc). The cases can be sold for $25 each. Any that are left unsold can be sold to a discount store for $10. Your records suggest that the probability that you will sell 25 cases is 20%, 45 cases is 45%, 65 cases is 20% and 85 cases is 15%. a) Construct a payoff table to provide reflect the decisions and outcomes What would be your decision based on each of the following?
