Question 1The Rotary Club is holding a pizza sale to finance outreach projects. The Club made an agreement to purchase pizza from Pizza Hut at a 30% discount which the Rotary Club can then resell for a profit. It is expected that of the 500 families in the community, at most 70% will buy pizza. Based on a survey of their personal preferences, the students believe that they should orderno more than 120 cheese pizzas, no more than 150 pepperoni pizzas, and no more than 100 vegetarian pizzas. They also want to make sure that at least 20% of the total pizzas are cheese and at least 50% of the pizzas are pepperoni. The standard price (before discount) for the cheese, pepperoni and vegetarian is $12, $15 and $14, respectively. The Rotary Club makes a profit of 10%, 15% and 20%, respectively, for each cheese, pepperoni, and vegetarian pizza they resell.

- Question 1. Hoverboards and the Factory Market Area: Suppose there is a single shoe factory in the region. The factory competes with homemade shoes and will sell shoes to any household for which the net price of factory shoes is less than the cost of homemade shoes. The cost of a homemade shoe is the opportunity cost of the time required to make the shoe at home, that is, the one gallon of milk that could be produced instead. Suppose the higher cost of living and commuting requires compensation of 0.80 gallons of milk per hour. Each worker produces 10 shoes per hour, so the average labor and capital cost are 0.18 gallons of milk and 0.12 gallons of milk respectively. The factory price of shoe (equal to the average production cost, sum of the average labor cost and the average capital cost) is 0.30 gallons of milk. A round-trip mile involves one mile of travel to a location and one mile back, for a total distance of two miles. Linear travel cost 20 miles /hour.

Jerry loves to take his own bike on 50-mile trips with his friends, but he believes that any small business should be started only if there is a good chance of making a profit. Jerry can open a small shop, a large shop, or no shop at all. The profits will depend on the size of the shop and whether the market is favorable or unfavorable for his products. Because there will be a 5-year lease on the building that Jerry is thinking about using, he wants to make sure that he makes the correct decision. Jerry is also thinking about hiring his old marketing professor to conduct a marketing research study. If the study is conducted, the study could be favorable (i.e., predicting a favorable market) or unfavorable (i.e., predicting an unfavorable market). Develop a decision tree for Jerry.arrow_forwardQuestion 5: After completing the jewelry design course, Kiran opened a jewelry showroom in Kohat. She employs eleven people in her showroom.

- Question 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.
