At the beginning of each week, a machine is in one of four conditions: 1 = excellent; 2 = good; 3 = average; 4 = bad. The weekly revenue earned by a machine in state 1, 2, 3, or 4 is 100, 90, 50, or 10, respectively. After observing the condition of the machine at the beginning of the week, the company has the option, for a cost of 200, of instantaneously replacing the machine with an excellent machine. The quality of the machine deteriorates over time, as shown in the file P10 41.xlsx. Four maintenance policies are under consideration: Policy 1: Never replace a machine. Policy 2: Immediately replace a bad machine. Policy 3: Immediately replace a bad or average machine. Policy 4: Immediately replace a bad, average, or good machine. Simulate each of these policies for 50 weeks (using at least 250 iterations each) to determine the policy that maximizes expected weekly profit. Assume that the machine at the beginning of week 1 is excellent.
Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.
The average basket size per purchase per agent in the fashion category in April is Rp.180.000,-. A third of agents made only 1 purchase that month. A third made 2 purchases that month. The rest made an average of 3.5 purchases that month. What % of agents in April bought fashion? Sales of ABC Fashion category comes from two merchants: Verry Venka (VV) and Vuka Lavak (VL). VV typically constitutes 40% of the fashion sales in ABC. VV's COO came to us and said, "Let's make our relationship stronger. We would like to be the merchant of your agents." VV decided to launch a free shipping promotion for ABC agents during the 2ndhalf of May. The promotion is expected to grow VV's sales at ABC by 45% for the remainder of the month, over current forecasted figures for the rest of May. In addition to that, a third of VL's sales are expected to be shifted to VV. If this happens, by what % will ABC's overall fashion sales exceed target in May? If this happens, what % of fashion sales will come from…

Casting molds are produced by MYMOLD company. Each order has unique specifications, depending on customer needs. MYMOLD has received an order of two molds from a customer. The agreed selling price of the molds is 5000TL per mold. According to the agreement, for a defective mold the customer will pay 1000TL instead of the standard price. The customer will not buy any more than two molds and there is a 2000 TL fine for not meeting the demand with two non-defective molds. The excess molds can be salvaged for 500 TL per piece. The cost of production per mold is 2000TL and the probability of producing a non-defective mold is 0.8. Assume that MYMOLD decided to produce two molds, and the first production has been succesfull (a non-defective mold is produced). What is the expected profit given the result of the first production?
The seasonal yield of olives in a Piraeus, Greece, vineyard is greatly influenced by a process of branch pruning. If olive trees are pruned every two weeks, output is increased. The pruning process, however, requires considerably more labor than permitting the olives to grow on their own and results in a smaller size olive. It also, though, permits olive trees to be spaced closer together. The yield of 1 barrel of olives by pruning requires 5 hours of labor and 1 acre of land. The production of a barrel of olives by the normal process requires only 2 labor hours but takes 2 acres of land. An olive grower has 250 hours of labor available and a total of 150 acres for growing. Because of the olive size difference, a barrel of olives produced on pruned trees sells for $20, whereas a barrel of regular olives has a market price of $30. The grower has determined that because of uncertain demand, no more than 40 barrels of pruned olives should be produced. Use graphical LP to find (a) the…

Consider the requirement that shopping malls need a license to remain open 24 hours, where these licenses are in fixed supply. These licenses are however freely tradable among actual and potential owners, and the industry is perfectly competitive. If the average 24-hour shopping mall’s annual revenue is $250,000, while the licenses may be leased at an annual fee of $100,000. Given this information, average variable cost for the industry would be $100,000. Is the preceding statement true or false?
The annual maintenance costs of a machine that has been in use for 3 years are 300 TL, 350 TL and 375 TL, respectively. The machine is expected to be available for 8 years after purchase. The maintenance costs foreseen for the coming years are 400 TL in the first year and 150 TL in the following years. If the machine is sold today, it can be sold for 1500 TL, and in the following years for 1000 TL. What is the optimum regeneration time of the machine if the MCVO is 10%?

You are in the competitive field of selling high-capacity photocopiers. One of your prospects is looking for copiers that will reliably run up to 5000 copies per day without being overloaded. After doing an analysis of the prospect's paper purchases over the last year, you extrapolate that 90 percent of her copiers ran at only 60 percent (3000 copies per day) capacity over the last year. Your dilemma is this: Should you propose your medium-duty copier, which was designed for 3500 copies per day, knowing that this will handle her needs most of the time based on the usage history? This will allow you-to come in with a price about 15 percent below your competitors and will allow you to get this lucrative deal. After all, it is highly unlikely that a problem will ever arise. Explain what do you do?
