Make a systematic list to help him decide which plan to use, showing which plan is best for each number of days up to 10.

The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning, any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week, the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $5.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $15.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $160 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 240 boxes with a standard deviation of 36 boxes How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow? Note: Use Excel's NORM.S.INV() function to find the z value. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Number of boxes

TopOil, a refiner in Indiana, serves three customers near Nashville, Tennessee and maintains consignment inventory (owned by TopOil) at each location. Currently, TopOil uses TL transportation to deliver separately to each customer. Each truck costs $800 plus $250 per stop.  Thus delivering to each customer separately costs $1050 per truck. TopOil is considering aggregating deliveries to Nashville on a single truck. Demand at the large customer is 60 tons per year, demand at the medium customer is 24 tons per year, and demand at the small customer is 8 tons per year. Product cost for TopOil is $10,000 per ton and they are using a holding cost of 25 percent. Truck capacity is 12 tons. What is the optimal order quantity to each customer assuming TopOil ships separately to each customer?

Mike and Bob are looking at a business concept to engage in rather than find summer jobs. Their friend Tim washes house windows in his home town and they like his business concept. They can only operate for 10 weeks (and only five days per week) before they have to return to soccer training at TWU. Here are the facts: They can rent a pickup and a trailer from Mike's grandfather for $300 per week. Business Insurance can be purchased for a premium of $100 per week. Tools and equipment are going to cost $1,500 and will be "worn out" by the end of the 10 week period Cleaning supplies, gasoline etc. are going to cost $10 per hour of operation. They have decided to charge clients on a per hour basis. Question: What are their Fixed costs and how do they break down per week? Per day? What are their Variable Costs per hour?

In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $32 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $40 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before finalizing the decision. (a) Determine the equation for computing FTC's profit for given values of the…

A zookeeper has a walrus with a nutritional deficiency. She wants to make sure the walrus consumes at least 2700 mg of iron, 2400 mg of vitamin B-1, and 1800 mg of vitamin B-2, One Maxivite pill contains 500 mg of iron, 200 mg of vitamin B-1, and 100 mg of vitamin B-2, and costs $0.05. One Healthovite pill provides 100 mg of iron, 150 mg of vitamin B-1, and 150 mg of vitamin B-2, and costs $0.06. Complete parts (a)-(c) below. (a) What combination of Maxivite and Healthovite pills will meet the walrus's requirement at lowest cost? What is the lowest cost? Set up the linear programming problem. Let m represent the number of Maxivite pils, h represent the number of Healthovite pills, and c represent the total cost in dollars. Minimize c= 0.05m + 0.06h subject to 500m + 100h 2 2700 200m + 150h 2 2400 100m + 150h 2 1800 m20, h 2 0. (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expressions. Do not include the $ symbol in your answers.) The best combination of pilts that moets the walrus's…
