Question 5The management of CDC Construction Pioneers have decided to build 900 new apartments in the Kasoa area due to the influx of immigrant workers into the country. Two Architectural Companies have provided building plans and technical schematics for the project. Management are happy with the proposals of both Standard apartment and Deluxe apartment. After investigating the steps involved in construction, management determined that each apartment complex built will require some resources. Management analysed each of the bids and concluded that if the plans of Standard apartment are built, it requires 0.7 days in foundation works, 0.5 days in the masonry, 1 day in finishing, and 0.1 days in painting works. Deluxe apartment will require 1 day in foundation works, 0.83 days in the masonry, 0.67 days in finishing, and 0.25 days in the painting works. Management estimate that, 630 days for foundation works, 600 days for masonry, 708 days for finishing and 135 days for 11painting works…
Question : One way for a manager of a property to increase the net operating income of a retail store is to increase the flow of customer traffic into the store. If the increased traffic results in increased sales, then the net operating income of the store will increase. If this can be sustained then the manager has increased the value of the property.

Jeremy Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder rods is $1800 and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder rods is $3200. Manufacturing costs are $16 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $20 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. The production capacities are 5800 and 7200 for 6 and 4 cylinder rods respectively. The operating budget is $100,000. The selling prices are $55 per 4-cylinder rod and $70 per 6-cylinder rod. What is the optimal number of 4 and 6 cylinder rods that should be produced by the company?

- *Question on LP*A company produces two products that are processed on two assembly lines. Assembly line one has 100 available hours and assembly two has 42 available hours. Each product requires 10 hours of processing time in assemble line one. Whilst on assemble line two, product one requires 7 hours and product two 3 hours. The profit for product one is ghc 6 per unit. The profit for product two is ghc 4 per unit. Management wishes to know how many units of each product to produce in order to maximize total profit. a) Define the decision variables for this Linear Programming problem b) Formulate a LP model for this problem c) Solve this model using graphical analysis.arrow_forwardQuestion 5 AIT computer department purchases a new computer every two years with preferences for three models; T1, T2 and T3. If the present model is T1, the next computer may be T2 with probability 0.2 or T3 with probability 0.15. If the present model is T2, the probabilities of switching to T1 and T3 are 0.6 and 0.25 respectively. And if present model is T3 then, the probabilities of switching to T1 and T2 are 0.5 and 0.1 respectively. Represent the situation as a Markov chain.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not true? Question 6 options: 1) Climate involves statistics (e.g., long-term averages) but weather considers conditions at a particular time and place (e.g., one week of this summer). 2) The current weather at a location can be characterized by a single measurement, but climate requires many years of measurements (typically around 30) to characterize. 3) Both weather and climate can vary regionally (e.g., from one side of a mountain range to another). 4) Climate only refers to temperatures, but weather also includes other factors like wind, rain, and snow.arrow_forward

Each driver obtains a benefit v from the journey and incurs a cost c(N ) that increases with the number of drivers on the road due to congestion. Suppose that the cost incurred is given by c(N) = a+bN, for some positive numbers a, b. If the agent decides not to use the road, they receive 0. You may assume throughout that the number of drivers N can be any real number (rather than an integer). Each driver uses the road at most once. the number of drivers that join the road is Ne = (v−a)/b (iv) Suppose that the government charges a toll t (a congestion charge) for each journey. Find the optimum toll. Interpret your answer in terms of the externality that each driver imposes on others.arrow_forward
