CWD 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. Orders are always received at the beginning of the week.Note that a lead time of 2 weeks imply that an order placed in week one will arrive in week 4.

FRUIT COMPUTER COMPANY
Fruit Computer Company manufactures memory chips in batches of ten chips. From past experience, Fruit knows that 80% of all batches contain 10% (1 out of 10) defective chips, and 20% of all batches contain 50% (5 out of 10) defective chips. If a good (that is, 10% defective) batch of chips is sent to the next stage of production, processing costs of $4000 are incurred, and if a bad batch (50% defective) is sent on to the next stage of production, processing costs of $16000 are incurred. Fruit also has the alternative of reworking a batch at a cost of $4000. A reworked batch is sure to be a good batch. Alternatively, for a cost of $400, Fruit can test one chip from each batch in an attempt to determine whether the batch is defective.
QUESTIONS
1.Determine a strategy so Fruit can minimize the expected total cost per batch.
2.Compute the EVSI and EVPI.
Yearly oil production in Mexico, and yearly oil imports of the US from Mexico
can be represented by the functions:
P(t) = 3.0 – 0.13t million barrels
I(t)
1.4 + 0.06t million barrels
in year t, where t is the time in years since the start of 2000.
a) What is represented by the functions P(t) – I(t) and I(t)/P(t)? What are the units for these functions?
b) Let q(t) = I(t)/P(t). Compute q'(t) and q'(3). Interpret in a complete sentence.
c) In marginal analysis, we would use q' (3) to estimate what quantity? Compute the actual value of that
quantity and compare it with q'(3).

- Seas Beginning sells clothing by mail order. An important question is when to strike a customer from the companys mailing list. At present, the company strikes a customer from its mailing list if a customer fails to order from six consecutive catalogs. The company wants to know whether striking a customer from its list after a customer fails to order from four consecutive catalogs results in a higher profit per customer. The following data are available: If a customer placed an order the last time she received a catalog, then there is a 20% chance she will order from the next catalog. If a customer last placed an order one catalog ago, there is a 16% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order two catalogs ago, there is a 12% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order three catalogs ago, there is an 8% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order four catalogs ago, there is a 4% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order five catalogs ago, there is a 2% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. It costs 2 to send a catalog, and the average profit per order is 30. Assume a customer has just placed an order. To maximize expected profit per customer, would Seas Beginning make more money canceling such a customer after six nonorders or four nonorders?arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image format thanku Let xi = 1 if Project i is selected, i = 1,2,3,4,5; and 0 otherwise: Which answer below indicates that if Project 2 is selected, then Project 4 must be selected?

The new truck’s costs per mile are as follows: 54₵ (fuel/additives), 24₵ (truck payments), 36₵ (driver), 12₵ (repairs), and 1₵ (misc.). The old truck’s costs are 60₵ (fuel/additives), 0₵ (truck payments), 32₵ (rookie driver), 24₵ (repairs), and 1₵ (misc.). The company knows that truck breakdowns lose customers, so it has capped estimated repair costs at $14,000.

- You are in charge of purchases at the student-run used-book supply program at your college, and you must decide how many introductory calculus, history, and marketing texts should be purchased from students for resale. Due to budget limitations, you cannot purchase more than 750 of these textbooks each semester. There are also shelf-space limitations: Calculus texts occupy 2 units of shelf space each, history books 1 unit each, and marketing texts 5 units each, and you can spare at most 1,200 units of shelf space for the texts. If the used book program makes a profit of $20 on each calculus text, $8 on each history text, and $16 on each marketing text, how many of each type of text should you purchase to maximize profit?
