- Q3. Eight young UWI 2010 Mona graduates in hospitality management were interested in opening a business of their own, rather than seeking to gain employment in a going establishment. They had learned about many New and Exciting food offerings while on their course of study at UWI and had set their eyes on becoming suppliers of some of these very different range of menu items to students at their very alma-mater UWI at the Western Jamaica Campus. The campus is home to some 300 students and staff on any average school day. Grabbing a quick meal and getting back to class on-time continues to be a problem for all at WJC. Food options on campus are limited to a small cafeteria selling snacks and a limited variety of not very healthy cooked lunches and a permanently parked lunch wagon from a popular fast food provider, which supplies a variety of somewhat pricey sandwiches. Other food options for the WJC population include a limited and somewhat unreliable delivery service by a local…arrow_forwardQuestion 1 The probability that equipment in a hospital lab will need recalibration is given in the table below. A service firm will provide maintenance and provide any necessary calibrations for $650 per month. Recalibration costs $500 per time.

Step 2: Find the z value corresponding to the ratio from Step 1 and use this value of z to compute…arrow_forwardQuestion 2 "In air cargo revenue management, for every flight we operate, we first must forecast the capacity so we can understand how much space we can sell. Unlike on the passenger side where the number of seats is rather standard, the cargo capacity will vary based on the route, the aircraft, the number of passengers, the number of bags passengers are carrying and other metrics." Karri Kauppi, Head of Cargo Revenue Management & Pricing, Finnair Source: The Complexities of Air Cargo Revenue Management https://www.kambr.com/articles/the-complexities-of-air-cargo-revenue-management (a) According to Karri Kauppi, cargo revenue management (CRM) is complex. The first thing in CRM is to forecast the air cargo capacity which would depend on factors e.g. the route, the aircraft, the number of passengers, the number of bags and other metrics. Appraise how Karri practises CRM in forecasting air cargo capacity and pricing available cargo space for sale in order to maximize profitability.…arrow_forward
