A manager must decide which type of machine to buy, A, B, or C. Machine costs (per individual machine) are as follows:

Product forecasts and processing times on the machines are as follows:

a. Assume that only purchasing costs are being considered. Compute the total processing time required for each machine type to meet demand, how many of each machine type would be needed, and the resulting total purchasing cost for each machine type. The machines will operate 10 hours a day, 240 days a year. (Enter total processing times as whole numbers. Round up machine quantities to the next higher whole number. Compute total purchasing costs using these rounded machine quantities. Enter the resulting total purchasing cost as a whole number. Omit the "$" sign.)

b. Consider this additional information: The machines differ in terms of hourly operating costs: The A machines have an hourly operating cost of $12 each, B machines have an hourly operating cost of $14 each, and C machines have an hourly operating cost of $15 each. What would be the total cost associated with each machine option, including both the initial purchasing cost and the annual operating cost incurred to satisfy demand?(Use rounded machine quantities from Part a. Do not round any other intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole number. Omit the "$" sign.)

A city is hosting an annual marathon event and wants to produce t-shirts. Maria was able to obtain previous years’ demand and probability data as given in below table. She also estimates:

Selling price is $10, cost is $3, and the salvage value is $1.

Calculate all numbers in the payoff table. Show all work. How many shirts should be made to maximize profit?

2. Consider the Leader-Member Exchange Theory, what do you see as the significant contradiction between this theory and Fiedler’s Contingency Theory when it comes to leadership styles. Explain fully.

3. Explain Transformational Leadership and Charismatic Leadership. What do you see as similarities in these two styles and what do you see as dissimilarities. Explain fully giving examples.

Discuss considerations that a restaurant owner or manager should take into account before deciding between the following alternatives: pur- chasing an expensive piece of equipment to make hamburger portions of uniform size, or employing people on hourly wages to do the same work, along with buying inexpensive portion scales for them to work with.

1. Fiedler’s Contingency Theory of Leadership was an important advanement in our understanding effective leadership styles. But, it was just a beginning in our understanding of the “contingencies” that impact leadership effectiveness. Summarize Fiedler’s leadership contingency factors. Now consider House’s Path-Goal Theory, what did the Path-Goal Theory of Leadership add to our understanding of leadership contingencies. What contingency did House consider that Fiedler did not?  Explain fully.

Sampling 4 pieces of​ precision-cut wire​ (to be used in computer​ assembly) every hour for the past 24 hours has produced the following​ results:

Based on the sampling​ done, the control limits for ​3-sigma x overbarx chart are ​(round all intermediate calculations to three decimal places before proceeding with further​calculations)​:
Upper Control Limit ​(UCL Subscript x overbarUCLx​) ​= ?
Lower Control Limit ​(LCL Subscript x overbarLCLx​) ​= ?
Based on the x overbarx​-chart, the wire cutting process has been
IN CONTROL or OUT OF CONTROL?

The control limits for the ​3-sigma​ R-chart are ​(round all intermediate calculations to three decimal places before proceeding with further ​calculations)​:
Upper Control Limit ​(UCL Subscript Upper RUCLR​) ​= ?
Lower Control Limit ​(LCL Subscript Upper RLCLR​) ​= ?
Based on the​ R-chart, the wire cutting process has been
IN CONTROL or OUT OF CONTROL ?

Anecdotal notes are one way to document learning. What are some advantages and disadvantages for this assessment strategy? What do teachers need to be aware of when using this strategy?

You manage a fabrication shop and have collected the following measurements (cm). You collected 7 random samples each day for a month. Below find the average of those 7 measurements and the range. You do not know the natural variation. Construct an x-bar and range chart. Include several sentences about your conclusions after analyzing your charts.

Continuing on with the data from the fabrication shop (cm. measurements), you have the following additional information. The standard deviation is 1.3 cm. The contract specifies that parts will be between 50 cm and 60 cm. What is the Cp? Express with 2 decimal places.
