Industrial Designs has been awarded a contract to design a label for a new wine produced by Lake ViewWinery. The company estimates that 150 hours will be required to complete the project. The firm’s threegraphics designers available for assignment to this project are Lisa, a senior designer and team leader;David, a senior designer; and Sarah, a junior designer. Because Lisa has worked on several projects forLake View Winery, management specified that Lisa must be assigned at least 40% of the total number ofhours assigned to the two senior designers. To provide label-designing experience for Sarah, Sarah must beassigned at least 15% of the total project time. However, the number of hours assigned to Sarah must notexceed 25% of the total number of hours assigned to the two senior designers. Due to other projectcommitments, Lisa has a maximum of 50 hours available to work on this project. Hourly wage rates are $30for Lisa, $25 for David, and $18 for Sarah.a. Formulate a linear program…
A ticket between Corellia and Dantooine (located in a galaxy far far away) sells for $150. The plane can hold 100 people. It costs $8000 to fly an empty plane. Each person on the plane incurs variable costs of $30 (for food and fuel). If the flight is overbooked, anyone who cannot get a seat receives $300 in compensation. On average, 95% of all people who have a reservation show up for the flight. To maximize profit, how many reservations for the flight should you book? Hint: You can assume that the number of people that show up for a flight follows a binomial random variable.
A tutor at ABC learning center receives a monthly base pay of P8,000 corresponding to a P5,000 tutorial fee input to the center. he gets a share of 15% of all tutorial fees beyond the mandatory P15,000 input. If each student he handles pays P6,000/month on tutorial fees and he has five students for the month, how much share does he receive beyond his base pay?

Tiger Funds Ltd. operates a number of mutual funds in high technology and in financial sectors. Hussein Roberts is a fund manager who runs a major fund that includes a wide variety of technology stocks. As fund manager he decides which stocks should be purchased for the mutual fund. The compensation plan for fund managers includes a first-year bonus for each stock purchased by the manager that gains more than 10% in the first six months it is held. Of those stocks that the company holds, 40% are up in value after being held for two years. In reviewing the performance of Mr. Roberts, they found that he received a first-year bonus for 60% of the stocks that he purchased that were up after two years. He also received a first-year bonus for 40% of the stocks he purchased that were not up after two years.What is the probability that a stock will be up after two years given that Mr. Roberts received a first-year bonus?
The developer of a new residential area has plans for houses, parks, a school, and a community centre, connected by roads and footpaths. Some of these areas need to be fenced off. The developer proposes to use "solar fences" using vertically mounted bidirectional solar panels, which generate electricity whichever side of the fence the sun is shining on. The electricity would be sold to local residents at 10% less than the cost of buying electricity from the local electric utility. This would decrease revenues for the local electric utility which is owned by the city. The city council decides to give planning permission for solar fences if > 50% of residents are in favour. It selects 34 residents at random and finds that 23 of them support the installation of these solar fences. Complete parts (a) through (c). a) Check whether the city should give planning permission at the 10% significance level using a hypothesis test. Let p be the proportion of people that support the installation of…
Each Friday afternoon, Xiang and Lin both hand out coupons on campus for discount meals at a restaurant located in downtown Iowa City. The restaurant pays Xiang and Lin for their services: Depending on the number of coupons redeemed (used) by customers, Xiang and Lin possibly earn either nothing, $20 (this happens on 20% of Fridays for Xiang and on 40% of Fridays for Lin), or $40 (this happens on 40% of Fridays for Xiang and on 20% of Fridays for Lin.) Xiang works east of the river and Lin works west of the river so their earnings are independent. Find Xiang's mean earnings per Friday.
Chip Bilton sells sweatshirts at State U football games. He is equally likely to sell 200 or400 sweatshirts at each game. Each time Chip places an order, he pays $500 plus $5 for each sweatshirt he orders. Each sweatshirt sells for $8. A holding cost of $2 per shirt (because of the opportunity cost for capital tied up in sweatshirts as well as storage costs) is assessed against each shirt left at the end of a game. Chip can store at most 400 shirts after each game. Assuming that the number of shirts ordered by Chip must be a multiple of 100, determine an ordering policy that maximizes expected profits earned during the first three games of the season. Assume that any leftover sweatshirts have a value of $6. make a solutions on paper and use math equatiıns not only use table
Jason receives an inheritance of $50,000. His financial advisor suggests that he invest this in three mutual funds: a money-market fund, a blue-chip stock fund, and a high- tech stock fund. The advisor estimates that the money-market fund will return 5% over the next year, the blue-chip fund 9%, and the high-tech fund 16%. Jason wants a total first-year return of $4000. To avoid excessive risk, he decides to invest three times as much in the money-market fund as in the high-tech stock fund. How much should he invest in each fund?

Two dentists, Lydia Russell and Jerry Carlton, are planning to establish practices in a newly developed community. Both have allocated approximately the same total budget for advertising in the local newspaper and for the distribution of fliers announcing their practices. Because of the location of their offices, Russell is expected to get 43% of the business if both dentist advertise only in the local newspaper; if both dentist advertise through fliers, then Russell is expected to get 39% of the business; if Russell advertises exclusively in the local newspaper and Carlton advertises exclusively through fliers, then Russell is expected to get 66% of the business. Finally, if Russell advertises through fliers exclusively and Carlton advertises exclusively in the local newspaper, then Russell is expected to get 58% of the business.
