Question
FlyUs Airlines is unhappy with the number of empty seats on
its New York to Philadelphia flight. To remedy the problem,
the airline is offering a special discounted rate of $89 instead
of the normal $169, but only for 7-day advance purchases
and for a limited number of seats per flight. The aircraft
flown from NY to Philly holds 100 passengers. Last month’s
distribution of full-fare passengers is shown below. How
many seats should FlyUs reserve for full-fare passengers?

- Greek Circle manufacturing makes and sells specialty hubcaps for the retail automobile after market. GC’s forecast for its wire-wheel hubcap is 2,000 units next year, with an average daily demand of 4 units. However, the production process is most efficient at 8 units per day. If the Setup costs are $10, the Carrying Costs are $0.50 per unit per year, what is the Optimum Production Order Quantity? So the company produces 8 per day but uses only 4 per day. The company wants to solve the optimum number of units per order. (Note. The plant schedules production of this hubcap only as needed, during the 250 days per year the shop operates).
