- Seas Beginning sells clothing by mail order. An important question is when to strike a customer from the companys mailing list. At present, the company strikes a customer from its mailing list if a customer fails to order from six consecutive catalogs. The company wants to know whether striking a customer from its list after a customer fails to order from four consecutive catalogs results in a higher profit per customer. The following data are available: If a customer placed an order the last time she received a catalog, then there is a 20% chance she will order from the next catalog. If a customer last placed an order one catalog ago, there is a 16% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order two catalogs ago, there is a 12% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order three catalogs ago, there is an 8% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order four catalogs ago, there is a 4% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order five catalogs ago, there is a 2% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. It costs 2 to send a catalog, and the average profit per order is 30. Assume a customer has just placed an order. To maximize expected profit per customer, would Seas Beginning make more money canceling such a customer after six nonorders or four nonorders?arrow_forwardA Strategic National Stockpile includes: a.

- State some key types of applications of the minimum spanning tree problem?arrow_forwardThe Gulf Coast Foundry is developing a long-range strategic plan for buying scrap metal for its foundry operations. The foundry can buy scrap metal in unlimited quantities from two sources, Atlanta (A) and Birmingham (B), and it receives the scrap daily in railroad cars. The scrap is melted down, and lead and copper are extracted for use in the foundry processes. Each railroad car of scrap from source A yields 1 ton of copper and 1 ton of lead and costs $10,000. Each railroad car of scrap from source B yields 1 ton of copper and 2 tons of lead and costs $15,000. If the foundry needs at least 21/2 tons of copper and at least 4 tons of lead per day for the foreseeable future, how many railroad cars of scrap should be purchased per day from Source A and Source B to minimize the long-range scrap metal cost?arrow_forwardPLEASE USE EXCEL Paul Bergey is in charge of loading cargo ships for International Cargo Company(ICC) at the port in Newport News, Virginia.

- The Excel file President’s Inn Guest Database provides a list of customers, rooms they occupied, arrival and departure dates, number of occupants, and daily rate for a small bed-and-breakfast inn during one month. Room rates include breakfast and are the same for one or two guests; however, any additional guests must pay an extra $20 per person per day for breakfast. Parties staying for seven days or more receive a 10% discount on the room rate as well as any additional breakfast fees. Modify the spreadsheet to calculate the number of days that each party stayed at the inn and the total revenue for the length of stay.arrow_forwardA large Midwestern university is opening a regional branch about an hour away from its main campus. Labor projections suggest that the company will need to hire about 200 new employees to fill cleaning, maintenance, security, and cafeteria entry-level positions. Because of traffic and bad winter weather, it is unlikely that many of the university's current staff will want to transfer to the regional branch. Most of the openings are for hands-on, manual labor jobs that do not require a college education, extensive computer skills, or office experience. The university would like to minimize the cost of its recruiting efforts. QUESTIONS 1. Why is social media the best recruiting sources for the university to fill its 200 positions? 2. Because of the new location relative to the main campus, why are external sources thebes t sourace of recuitment for the organization? Why are College and university placement offices considered as the LEAST appropriate source of recruiting for the vacant…arrow_forwardDiscuss a situation where constrained optimization is used?arrow_forward
- Formulate a system of equations for the situation below and solve.Cantwell Associates, a real estate developer, is planning to build a new apartment complex consisting of one-bedroom units and two- and three-bedroom townhouses. A total of 204 units is planned, and the number of family units (two- and three-bedroom townhouses) will equal the number of one-bedroom units. If the number of one-bedroom units will be 3 times the number of three-bedroom units, find how many units of each type will be in the complex. one-bedroom units units two-bedroom townhouses units three-bedroom townhouses unitsarrow_forwardThe High-Price Oil Company owns a pipeline network that is used to convey oil from its source to several storage locations. A portion of the network is as follows: Due to the varying pipe sizes, the flow capacities vary. By selectively opening and closing sections of the pipeline network, the firm can supply any of the storage locations. a. If the firm wants to fully utilize the system capacity to supply storage location 7, how long will it take to satisfy a location 7 demand of 100,000 gallons? What is the maximal flow for this pipeline system? b. If a break occurs on line 2–3 and that line is closed down, what is the maximal flow for the system? How long will it take to transmit 100,000 gallons to location 7?arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image formate thanku. Hoosier Power needs to determine a capacity expansion plan to meet Bloomington’s power needs for the next 20 years. The current capacity is 5,000 kWh. The demand for the current year is 4,000 kWh, and demand is expected to increase by 1,000 kWh in each succeeding year. At the beginning of each year, Hoosier Power must determine the amount of capacity to add, given the following inputs: Any year in which capacity is added, a fixed cost of $120,000 is incurred plus a cost of $120 per kWh of capacity; At most 10,000 kwh of capacity can be added in a single year; It costs $24 per year to maintain a unit of capacity; It costs $12 per year to produce one kWh; If production does not meet demand, a shortage cost of $75 per kWh short is incurred. Hoosier Power wants to determine a capacity expansion plan with the minimal total cost to meet Bloomington’s power needs for the next 20 years.
