A group of music lovers in a large urban area incorporate a company, Mozart Holdings Ltd., in order to purchase land and build a music hall that they claim will be “a glittering jewel in the cultural crown” of the city. The corporation selects an architectural firm that will design the building, a construction company that will construct the music hall, and chooses other suppliers who will provide goods and services necessary to the planning and development of a unique structure. One of the contracts that Mozart enters into is with an artist, Paige Presley, who is commissioned to produce an artistic work for the main lobby of the music hall. Presley is to be paid the sum of $50 000 for the work, and Mozart stipulates that the work is to be in any medium, but it must be permanently affixed to the north wall of the lobby, and must be of a size no less than 10 metres by 15 metres. The artist and the corporation enter into a written contract whereby the artist agrees to create the artistic work, warrants that it is her original work, and transfers the work to Mozart Holdings Ltd., in consideration of payment of the agreed‐upon contract price. No mention is made of moral rights. Presley designs and creates an artistic work that is an abstracted representation of musicians, musical instruments and musical notes on a scale. The work is created out of a series of more than two hundred 30 cm by 30 cm ceramic tiles that are made by the artist by hand and fired in her kiln in her studio. The artist and two assistants install the work on the north wall of the lobby, in time for the official opening of the music hall. The work is titled “The Song of Ages.” Presley attends the official opening for the music hall, at which many dignitaries are present. Media representatives are present, and photographers take pictures of the lobby, the people present, and Presley’s artistic work. At a table in the lobby, Presley notices a brochure that solicits funds from donors, asking them to contribute to the operation of the music hall. Donors are promised various “gifts” for donations at different levels of giving, ranging from music CDs for donations of $50 to $100, up to the “benefactor” level. Those who make a donation at the benefactor level will have their name inscribed in one of the tiles that form the work “The Song of Ages.”
Question: Presley is incensed and embarrassed that her art would be defaced in this fashion. She considers commencing a court action, seeking an injunction. Evaluate the situation and advise what chances of success she has and on what grounds?

You are a member of a training team who is preparing a training module for new nontraditional students, or students who fall outside the 18-22 age range. Rather than going immediately into college from high school, many nontraditional students enter the workforce instead. Using the andragogical assumptions in addition to the andragogical principles and training applications reviewed in chapter 2, show how your team would develop a module that trains nontraditional students in how to study and manage time.

We mention that the differences between qualitative and quantitative analytics are not necessarily about differences in the analytics methods used as much as it is about the different stages of analysis. As we consider descriptive and predictive analytics techniques used to address business risks, how would you go about determining how these techniques might align with qualitative and quantitative methods used in addressing the initial stages of risk identification?

The objective function can be maximization or minimization.
The LP must have at least three decision variables.
The LP must have at least three constraints.
a) Solve the LP you create by using the Simplex Method. You can use Big-M or Two-Phase Method if needed. Show each iteration in detail. You should have at least 2 iterations and at most five iterations. If your model is not obeying this rule, please change your model and randomly generate a new model. Make sure that you obtain a single optimal solution.
b) Indicate clearly the optimal basic and nonbasic variables and their values and write the reduced cost of each optimal nonbasic variable.
c) Find the dual of the primal problem you have on hand.
d) Find the optimal dual solution by using the two methods you have learned in class.
e) Verify that your primal and dual solutions are indeed optimal using the Complementary Slackness theorem. Show your work clearly.
f) For the basic variables at the optimal solution, create your optimal tableau this time by using matrix operations.
g) Change the right-hand-side value of one of the constraints. Make sure that your current solution becomes infeasible and you apply the Dual Simplex Method to recover feasibility.
h) Change the objective function coefficient of one basic variable and one nonbasic variable if all nonbasic variables are not slack variables. If you do not have a nonbasic variable which is an original variable for your problem, then change the objective function coefficient of two basic variables. Make sure that your current solution becomes nonoptimal and you apply the Primal Simplex Method to recover optimality.
i) Add a new constraint into your model. Make sure that the new constraint is not satisfied by the current optimal solution and you apply the Dual Simplex Method to recover feasibility.
j) Add a new activity (a new decision variable) into your model. Make sure that your current solution becomes non-optimal and you apply the Primal Simplex Method to recover optimality.
Hint 1: Please use this theorem for question d)
Theorem 1 (Sufficient Optimality Criterion): If x0 and y0 are feasible solutions to the primal and dual problems such that z = cx0 = y0b = w, then x0 and y0 are optimal solutions to their respective problems.
Theorem 2 (Strong Duality): In a primal-dual pair of LPs, if either the primal or the dual problem has an optimal feasible solution, then the other problem does also have an optimal solution and the two optimal objective values are equal.
I really can't solve and these questions are connected to each other so please help as much as you can! It's also for my learning. Thanks for your effort!
