Engineering Economy
A company has determined the price and the monthly demand of its products are related by the equation D = √775 - p, where p is the price per unit in dollar and D, is the monthly demand. The associated fixed costs are $2,125 per month and the variable costs are $100/ unit. Use this information to answer the following:
a)What is the optimal number of units that should be produced and sold each month?
b) What is the maximum profit?
c)Determine the value of D that represents the break-even point?
Simulated Annealing
How would Simulated Annealing perform if the temperature, T, is always equal or very close to 0, where we omit the termination test (except that we terminate the search when a goal node, either a local or global optimum, is met)? Please pick up one option from the following options and explain.(a) A random walk(b) Hill-Climbing(c) It would halt immediately(d) It would never halt
