Chapter F, Problem 7P
Question:
• F.7 A warehouse manager at Mary Beth Marrs Corp. needs to simulate the demand placed on a product that does not fit standard models. The concept being measured is “demand during lead time,” where both lead time and daily demand are variable. The historical record for this product, along with the cumulative distribution, appear in the table. Random numbers have been generated to simulate the next 5 order cycles; they are 91, 45, 37, 65, and 51. What are the five demand values? What is their average?

Question 18 options:
………………. is a tool used by companies for the purpose of expanding their operations often aiming at an increase of their long term profitability.
Which 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.
Question 2
A particular road is used by N drivers each day. 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.

- Question 1 Josh and Amy are finance trainees at a company which has been reporting a positive cash flow for the last 5 years. Both Josh and Amy have learned in their finance courses at the university that “cash is king” and is more important than reported profits by a company.
