Textbook Question
Chapter A, Problem 12P
Palmer Jam Company is a small manufacturer of several different jam products. One product is an organic jam that has no preservatives, sold to retail outlets. Susan Palmer must decide how many cases of jam to manufacture each month. The probability that demand will be 6 cases is .1, for 7 cases it is .3, for 8 cases it is .5, and for 9 cases it is .1. The cost of every case is $45, and the price Susan gets for each case is $95. Unfortunately, any cases not sold by the end of the month are of no value as a result of spoilage. How many cases should Susan manufacture each month?

- Hotel ReservationsA hotel near the university always fills up in the evening before football games. History has shown that when the hotel is fully booked, the number of last-minute cancellations has a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 3. The average room rate is $80. When the hotel is overbooked, the policy is to find a room in a nearby hotel and to pay for the room for the customer. This usually costs the hotel approximately $200 because rooms booked on such late notice are expensive. How many rooms should the hotel overbook?arrow_forwardHair Zone manufactures a brand of hair-styling gel. It is considering adding a modifiedversion of the product—a foam that provides stronger hold.

Hair Zone estimates that it would sell 1.5 million units of the gel if it did not introduce the foam. If the fixed cost of launching the new foam will be $100,000 during the first year, should Hair Zone add the newproduct to its line? Why or why not?arrow_forwardAt an Oxford grocery store, the manager Jenny Produce buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. In her focus on quality, 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 Jenny can buy fresh lettuce for $10.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $22.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $2.00 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 270 boxes with a standard deviation of 44 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should Jenny purchase tomorrow?
