Products A,B, and C are sold door-to-door. A costs $ 3 per unit, take 10 minutes to sell (on the average) and
costs $0.50 to deliver to customer. B costs $ 5, takes 15 minutes to sell, and is left with the customer at the time
of sale. C costs $ 4, takes 12 minutes to sell, and costs $ 1 to deliver. During any week, a salesperson is allowed to
draw up to $ 500 worth of A,B,C (at cost) and is allowed delivery expenses not to exceeds $ 75. If a salesperson’s
selling time is not expected to exceed 30 hours (1,800 minutes) in a week, and if the salesperson profit (net after
all expenses) is $ 1 each on a unit of A and B and $ 2 on a unit of C, what combination of sales of A, B, and C
will lead to maximum profit, and what is the maximum profIt?

- In the financial world, there are many types of complex instruments called derivatives that derive their value from the value of an underlying asset. Consider the following simple derivative. A stocks current price is 80 per share. You purchase a derivative whose value to you becomes known a month from now. Specifically, let P be the price of the stock in a month. If P is between 75 and 85, the derivative is worth nothing to you. If P is less than 75, the derivative results in a loss of 100(75-P) dollars to you. (The factor of 100 is because many derivatives involve 100 shares.) If P is greater than 85, the derivative results in a gain of 100(P-85) dollars to you. Assume that the distribution of the change in the stock price from now to a month from now is normally distributed with mean 1 and standard deviation 8. Let EMV be the expected gain/loss from this derivative. It is a weighted average of all the possible losses and gains, weighted by their likelihoods. (Of course, any loss should be expressed as a negative number. For example, a loss of 1500 should be expressed as -1500.) Unfortunately, this is a difficult probability calculation, but EMV can be estimated by an @RISK simulation. Perform this simulation with at least 1000 iterations. What is your best estimate of EMV?arrow_forwardCWD Electronics sells Televisions (TV), which it orders from the USA. Because of shipping and handling costs, each order must be for 5TVs. Because of the time it takes to receive an order, the company places an order every time the present stock drops to 5 TVs. It costs $50 to place anorder. It costs the company $500 in lost sales when a customer asks for a TV and the warehouse is out of stock. It costs $100 to keep each TV stored in the warehouse. If a customer cannot purchase a TV when it is requested, the customer will not wait until one comes in but will go to a competitor.The following probability distribution for demand for TV has been and the time required to receive an order once it is placed (lead time) has the following probability distribution: (Attached) The company has 3 TVs in stock.

Your plan is to add $500 to the account each year on your birthday. Your first $500 contribution will come one year from now on your 21st birthday. Your 45th and final $500 contribution will occur on your 65th birthday. You plan to withdraw $5,000 from the account five years from now on your 25th birthday to take a trip to Europe. You also anticipate that you will need to withdraw $10,000 from the account 10 years from now on your 30th birthday to take a trip to Asia. You expect that the account will have an average annual return of 12 percent. How much money do you anticipate that you will have in the account on your 65th birthday, following your final contribution?arrow_forward
- Use excel for this problem A trust officer at the Blacksburg National Bank needs to determine how to invest $150,000 in the following collection of bonds to maximize the annual return. Bond Annual Return Maturity Risk Tax Free A 9.5% Long High Yes B 8.0% Short Low Yes C 9.0% Long Low No D 9.0% Long High Yes E 9.0% Short High No The officer wants to invest at least 40% of the money in short-term issues and no more than 20% in high-risk issues. At least 25% of the funds should go in tax-free investments, and at least 45% of the total annual return should be tax free. Formulate the LP model for this problem.

It costs $5000 to rent a copier for a year, and it costs $0.03 per copy to operate the copier. Other fixed costs of running the store will amount to $400 per month. You plan to charge an average of $0.10 per copy, and the store will be open 365 days per year. Each copier can make up to 100,000 copies per year. a. For one to five copiers rented and daily demands of 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 copies per day, find annual profit. That is, find annual profit for each of these combinations of copiers rented and daily demand. b. If you rent three copiers, what daily demand for copies will allow you to break even? c. Graph profit as a function of the number of copiers for a daily demand of 500 copies; for a daily demand of 2000 copies. Interpret your graphs.arrow_forward
- MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS An ecommerce company decides to send a gift voucher worth $1000 to a set of customers they believe would make a purchase of at least $5000. They develop a model to identify potential customers who can make a purchase of $5000 if we send the $1000 voucher. Which of the following is more critical about the model? O False negative is worse than False positive if voucher amount crosses $5000 O Both False positive and negative are acceptable O False positive is worse than a False negative O False negative is worse than a False positive Which of the following statements is TRUE? O Tree based models are normally not affected by outliers O Presence of outliers in the data has no effect on Regression models O Standard scaler performs well on features that have outliers O Tree-based models do not rely on dividing the feature space into sub-sectionsarrow_forwardYou work for a small retail store. You must decide how many cases of kombucha to order. Twenty cases fit on a pallet and because of shipping costs, orders must be placed in multiples of 20. You can either order 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 cases. Each case costs $15. If you order more than 1 pallet, you receive a discount of 5% per additional pallet ordered (2 pallets would be 5%, 3 would be 10%, etc). The cases can be sold for $25 each. Any that are left unsold can be sold to a discount store for $10. Your records suggest that the probability that you will sell 25 cases is 20%, 45 cases is 45%, 65 cases is 20% and 85 cases is 15%. a) Construct a payoff table to provide reflect the decisions and outcomes What would be your decision based on each of the following?

At the beginning of each week, you order some fruit, and sell it retail at a 100% markup. For example, a piece of fruit that you sell retail for $5 cost you $2.50. At the end of the week, any fruit not sold is sold to a juicer for 40% of what you paid for it (or 20% of the retail price). (For example, you pay $2.50 for a piece of fruit, which you can sell retail for $5, but if you don't sell it retail you can sell it to a juicer for $1.) The average amount of fruit that your customers want to purchase that week is $10,000 (Retail. In other words, you paid 5,000 for it.). This amount is distributed normally, with a standard deviation of $1,000. To maximize your long term profits, how much fruit (in terms of retail price) should you purchase each week? Round, if necessary, to the nearest $10.arrow_forward
- As part of a campaign to promote its annual clearance sale, Excelsior Company decided to buy television advertising time on Station KAOS. Excelsior's television advertising budget is $111,000. Morning time costs $3000/min, afternoon time costs $1000/min, and evening (prime) time costs $12,000/min. Because of previous commitments, KAOS cannot offer Excelsior more than 6 min of prime time or more than a total of 25 min of advertising time over the 2 weeks in which the commercials are to be run. KAOS estimates that morning commercials are seen by 200,000 people, afternoon commercials are seen by 100,000 people, and evening commercials are seen by 600,000 people.
