Problem 2: As a building designer, you have been asked to analyze and select the best window frame type alternative-either aluminum or steel. The project is located in a remote area, and the nearest industrial area hosting steel and aluminum windows frames manufacturers is 250 km away. All project windows are identical, and the circumference of the window frame is 6.2 meter. A crew of two labors is required to manufacture one steel frame. It takes 2.5 hours to manufacture the first window every day, and the learning rate is 0.9. The number of production units is per day is limited to 8. The weight of steel is 12 kg per meter, and the weight of aluminum is 4.5 kg per meter. The cost of steel is 0.4 OMR and the cost of aluminum 1.1 OMR per kg. If 45 windows frames are required for the project, the crew cost is 3 OMR per hour for steel frames and 3.6 for aluminum frames, and the transportation, price is 0.01 OMR per kg per 50 km, which alternative would you select? per kg

Daisy works for a candle manufacturer and has a great idea for a new product. She wants the candle to smell like french fries that have just been lifted from a deep fryer, as she knows this is a smell that many people find nostalgic. She designed the cover of the package to mirror a popular fast food chain's packaging. The legal team has advised that there is risk with this approach. The cost of the candles will be 10% more to manufacture than a more traditional candle, and the candles will have a retail prices of 20% more. Which of the following can be concluded from Daisy's story above? A) Daisy's new candle is the most expensive canlde that Daisy's company makes B) The french fry candle will sell more than lavender candles due to nostalgia C) The french fry candle will have a higher profit margin ([price - cost]/price) than a more traditional candle D) The legal team strongly believes Daisy will be sued because of the packaging design
If company A manufactures t-shirts and sells them to retailers for US$9.80 each. It has fixed costs of $2625 related to the production of the t-shirts, and the production cost per unit is US$2.30. Company B also manufactures t-shirts and selll them directly to consumers. The demand for its product is p = 15– 125 its production cost per unit is US$5.00 and its fixed cost are the same as for company A. (i) Derive the total revenue function, R(x) for company A. (ii) Derive the total cost function, C(x) for company A. (iii) Derive the profit function, II(x) for company A. (iv) Using a spreadsheet, create a table for showing x, R(x),, C(x) for company A in the domain x = 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450. (v) Graph the functions from (d) above on the same axes. (vi) From your graph, determine the break-even level of output for company A. (vii) Derive the total revenue function, R(x) for company B. (viii) Derive the profit function, II(x) for company B. (ix) How many t-shirts must…

1 Vehicle purchase. A student living in Lower Hutt is considering the purchase of a new vehicle. An electric vehicle (EV) can be purchased for $40,000 and has a running cost of $0.20 per km. Alternatively, a (petrol) combustion vehicle (CV) can purchased for $25,000 and has a running cost of $0.45 per km. The student is determined to make a decision which minimises the total cost depending on the number of kilometres that the vehicle will be used. (Here you should assume that the running costs also account for periodic costs such as mainte- nance, insurance, registration.) (a) Describe the decision and environment variables associated with this problem. (b) Determine the utility function R(D, X) which maps the outcomes to the total cost incurred. (c) Use a break-even analysis to determine the number of km for which the optimal decision differs above and below this amount. Specifically, plot R(D, X), determine where the break-even point occurs and mark it clearly on your plot, then…
I leave a like on all sections for your assistance, thank you.WATER TREATMENT PLANT PROCESS COSTSInformation: (Please see the attached image depicting the schematics + Text) The results obtained from the four operating modes showed that the hardness decreased by 4.7% when both processes were in operation (i.e., sludge recirculation and aeration). When only sludge was recirculated, the reduction was 3.8%. There was no reduction due to aeration only, or when there was neither aeration nor recirculation. For turbidity, the reduction was 28% when both recirculation and aeration were used. The reduction was 18% when neither aeration nor recirculation was used. The reduction was also 18% when aeration alone was used, which means that aeration alone was of no benefit for turbidity reduction. With sludge recirculation alone, the turbidity reduction was only 6%, meaning that sludge recirculation alone actually resulted in an increase in turbidity-the difference between 18% and 6%. Since…
