- Question A firm that assembles refrigerators and stoves is about to start production of new models of each. Each model will require assembly time, inspection time, and storage space. The amounts of each of these resources that can be devoted to the production of the items is limited. The manager of the firm would like to determine the quantity of each item to produce in order to maximize the profit generated by sales. He has the following data at his disposal: Refridgerators Stoves Profit per unit $60 $50 Assembly time per unit 4 hours 10 hours Inspection time per unit 2 hours 1 hour Storage space per unit 3 cubic feet 3 cubic feet Other information Resource Amount of time available Assembly time 100 hours Inspection time 22 hours Storage space 39 cubic feet Questions - •Identify the feasible solution space. •At which point will profit be maximized?arrow_forwardQUESTION 13 (Please use at least four significant figures in your calculations.) $60 S-curve Turntables $160 Hullabaloo Records $40 $260 S-Curve Turntables manufactures turntables, and sells them through Hullabaloo Records, a chain of specialty record stores. For a model year, they will manufacture their newest model of turntable, called "Orbitz", which will be sold through the record stores. It costs $60 for S- Curve to manufacture the turntables, which it then sells to Hullabaloo for $160. Hullabaloo Records then sells the turntables at retail for $260. Whatever doesn't sell gets put on clearance for $40. Demand for the turntable is expected to be normally distributed with a mean of 1833 and a standard deviation of 1092. What is the optimal order amount that will maximize the SUPPLY CHAIN'S expected profit?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
