- John Clooney, a bush pilot in Alaska, makes regular charter flights in his floatplane to various towns and cities in western Alaska. His passengers include hunters, fishermen, backpackers and campers, and tradespeople hired for jobs in the different localities. He also carries some cargo for delivery. The following network shows the possible air routes between various towns and cities John might take (with the times, in hours). For safety reasons, he flies point-to-point, flying over at least one town along a route, even though he might not land there. In the upcoming week John has scheduled charter flights for Kotzebue, Nome, and Stebbins. Determine the shortest route between John’s home base in Anchorage and each of these destinations.arrow_forwardWhat is the key financial factor that determines the survivability of an airline?

Many American cities are confronted with high traffic and congestion. Finding parking spaces, whether in the street or a parking lot, can be time-consuming and contribute to congestion. Some cities have rolled out data-driven parking space management to reduce congestion and make traffic more fluid. You’re a data analyst working for a mid-size city that has anticipated significant increments in population and car traffic. The city is evaluating whether it makes sense to invest in infrastructure to count and report the number of parking spaces available at the different parking lots downtown. This data would be collected and processed in real-time, feeding an app that motorists can access to find parking space availability in different parking lots throughout the city.

Patients are tapping their phones, tablets, and keyboards instead of making an office visit or trip to the emergency room. Technology makes it possible for doctors to consult with patients through Skype or FaceTime on smartphones, access medical tests via electronic medical records, and send a prescription to a patient’s local pharmacy—all from miles away. The telemedicine industry is still in its infancy, earning only $200 million in annual revenue, but it is predicted to increase to an almost $2 billion industry in just a few years. Technology isn’t the only reason for this industry’s growth. The HITECH Act encouraging electronic medical records is also adding fuel to this fire.

The total cost of employing a teller is $100 per day, and a teller can serve an average of 160 customers per day. On average, 210 customers arrive per day at the bank, and both service times and interarrival times are exponentially distributed. If the delay cost per customer day is $500, how many tellers should the bank hire? (The “MMs Template with Economic Analysis” is attached for you to do the calculation.

- High-Low Method for a Service Company Boston Railroad decided to use the high-low method and operating data from the past six months to estimate the fixed and variable components of transportation costs. The activity base used by Boston Railroad is a measure of railroad operating activity, termed “gross-ton miles,” which is the total number of tons multiplied by the miles moved. Transportation Costs Gross-Ton Miles January $1,245,000 332,000 February 1,388,100 371,000 March 981,000 240,000 April 1,330,800 359,000 May 1,116,200 289,000 June 1,431,000 390,000 Determine the variable cost per gross-ton mile and the total fixed cost.

SVTC is currently evaluating four different approaches to help them maintain their fleet of cars and vans efficiently at the lowest possible cost. Their options are: (1) No preventive maintenance at all and repair vehicle components when they fail; (2) Take oil samples at regular intervals and perform whatever preventive maintenance is indicated by the oil analysis; (3) Perform an oil change on a regular basis on each vehicle and perform repairs when needed; (4) perform oil changes at regular intervals, take oil samples regularly, and perform maintenance repairs as indicated by the sample analysis. Option #1 costs nothing to implement and results in two possible outcomes: There is a .10 probability that a defective component will occur, requiring emergency maintenance at a cost of $1,200, or there is a chance that no defects will occur and no maintenance will be…arrow_forwardWith the increased need for parking spaces on campus, Seton Hill University has hired additional bus drivers to accommodate the demand. However, the administration is worried about what will happen to those jobs if the need ever decreases. To resolve this, they have asked our class to determine the feasibility of SHU expanding their bus program to all of Westmoreland County. What information/data might be beneficial to determine if this is an appropriate direction for Seton Hill University? List as many as you can think of.arrow_forward
