A grocery store sells a bag of 4 oranges for $2.84. How much would it cost for 5 oranges?
Any Company buys and resells a wide range of personal care products. Their ongoing challenges, like many of their competitors include shipping time for purchases, optimizing use of their storage space, and shipping time for sales to their customers.
The company’s control over shipping time for purchases is limited. Their choice of suppliers has more impact on shipping time than any encouragement they can offer to those suppliers. Any Company uses multiple warehouses. Some are owned by the company, others are leased. The company uses contract shippers, FedEx/UPS, and the US Postal Service.
Your task is to identify at least 4 KPIs you think will be relevant for Any Company to understand and improve their inventory management. Identify the data necessary for your KPIs as specifically as possible. You may use any KPIs we have mentioned in class or from the labs. Feel free to use others or to create your own. Your response does not need to include a description of graphs you might…

- A young computer engineer has $12,000 to invest and three different investment options (funds) to choose from. Type 1 guaranteed investment funds offer an expected rate of return of 7%, Type 2 mixed funds (part is guaranteed capital) have an expected rate of return of 8%, while an investment on the Stock Exchange involves an expected rate of return of 12%, but without guaranteed investment capital. Computer engineer has decided not to invest more than $2,000 on the Stock Exchange in order to minimize the risk. Moreover for tax reasons, she needs to invest at least three times more in guaranteed investment funds than in mixed funds. Assume that at the end of the year the returns are those expected; she is trying to determine the optimum investment amounts. (a) Express this problem as a linear programming model with two decision variables.(b) Solve the problem with the graphical solution procedure and define the optimum solution.arrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. An independent contractor for a transportation company needs to determine whether she should upgrade the vehicle she currently owns or trade her vehicle in to lease a new vehicle. If she keeps her vehicle, she will need to invest in immediate upgrades that cost $5,200 and it will cost $1,300 per year to operate at the end of year that follows. She will keep the vehicle for 5 years; at the end of this period, the upgraded vehicle will have a salvage value of $3,800. Alternatively, she could trade in her vehicle to lease a new vehicle. She estimates that her current vehicle has a trade-in value of $9,800 and that there will be $4,100 due at lease signing. She further estimates that it will cost $2,900 per year to lease and operate the vehicle. The independent contractor's MARR is 11%.

- a) Suppose you walk into a large supermarket at 2 am with a friend. Your friend says, "I can't believe that these stores stay open all night. Only one out of fifteen checkout lines is open. There can't be more than ten shoppers in this store. It just doesn't make any sense for this store to be open all night." What conditions must be true for it to be to the advantage of the supermarket to stay open all night? b) Your friend has a large garden and grows fresh fruit and vegetables to be sold at a local "farmer's market." Last year your friend was the only worker in the garden, without any additional workers. However, this year your friend hired a worker and production more than doubled. He comments "Next summer, I think I'll hire another two workers (so total workers including myself would go up from 2 to 4) and my output should again more than double". Is it likely that he could hire more workers and always continue to reap greater than proportional increases in production?
