Walmart in Mexico corruption scandal.
Question- Describe the scandal what happened?

Zan Azlett and Angela Zesiger have joined forces to start A&Z Lettuce Products, a processor of packaged shredded lettuce for institutional use. Zan has years of food processing experience, and Angela has extensive commercial food preparation experience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuce and then sorting, washing, slicing, preserving, and finally packaging the prepared lettuce. Together, with help from vendors, they think they can adequately estimate demand, fixed costs, revenues, and variable cost per 5-pound bag of lettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed costs of $37,500 and variable costs of $1.75 per bag. A more mechanized process will have fixed costs of $75,000 per month with variable costs of $1.25 per 5-pound bag. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $2.50 per 5-pound bag.

a) What is the break-even quantity for the manual process? b) What is the revenue at the break-even quantity for the manual process? c) What is the break-even quantity for the mechanized process? d) What is the revenue at the break-even quantity for the mechanized process? e) What is the monthly profit or loss of the manual process if they expect to sell 60,000 bags of lettuce per month? f ) What is the monthly profit or loss of the mechanized process if they expect to sell 60,000 bags of lettuce per month? g) At what quantity would Zan and Angela be indifferent to the process selected? h) Over what range of demand would the manual process be preferred over the mechanized process? Over what range of demand would the mechanized process be preferred over the manual process?

Case study:

A health system owns and operates a hospital and employs primary care physicians, general surgeons, and oncologists. The hospital purchased a surgical practice in 2012. Part of the purchase of the practice included the purchase of the electronic medical record system that was a certified EHR. In January 2014, the hospital transitioned the primary care physicians, surgeons, and the radiologists in the hospital to a new certified electronic health record, the implementation of which was completed 10 months later in October 2014. The physicians did not satisfy the MU criteria from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2104, because of the transition to a new certified EHR system. In addition, in 2015 the hospital’s electronic medical record vendor informed the hospital that it would not be able to satisfy the Stage 3 interoperability and technology standards by January 2018.

1. Describe the process the physicians must complete to avoid the payment penalties.

2. Discuss what the hospital must do to achieve the MU objectives for interoperability.

The Monet Company produces four types of picture frames, which are labeled types 1, 2, 3, and 4. The four types of frames differ in size, shape, and materials used. Each type requires a certain amount of skilled labor, metal, and glass. These requirements, along with the profit for each one are shown in the table below:

During the coming week Monet has 4000 hours of labor, 6000 ounces of metal, and 10,000 ounces of glass. Also, due to market constraints, it is impossible to sell more than 1000 type 1 frames, 2000 type 2 frames, 500 type 3 frames, and 1000 type 4 frames. The company wants to maximize profits.

Formulate a linear program to determine how many of each type of frame should Monet build. Include an objective function and all constraints.
