The VP of admissions has a second concern as well. There are variety of ways to attract students and increase applications. The university can purchase online advertising, send out traditional mailings, and do in-person recruiting at various functions. The VP estimates that each online ad will result in 50 new applications, each traditional mailing will result in 30 new applications, and each recruiting event will result in 12 new applications. Online advertising costs $800 per ad, mailings cost $600 each, and in-person recruiting events are quite inexpensive at $150 per appearance. The university wants to maintain a broad presence, so at least 2 of each form of recruiting is desired. There are limited personnel available for recruiting, so a maximum of 5 in-person recruiting events can be managed. At least half of the advertising must be online, as the university president wants to expand enrollments in on-line programs. The VP has a budget of $8,000. The VP wants to understand the mathematical problem that must be solved to figure out how many of each type of advertising should be used, and have an Excel file that can solve the problem. (For convenience, feel free to solve the problem in terms of partial units…i.e. the final answer can be 1.2 online ads, 2.6 mailings, etc.). How many of each form of outreach should be purchased?

JCL Inc. is a major chip manufacturing firm that sells its products to computer manufacturers like Dell, HP, and others. In simplified terms, chip making at JCL Inc. involves three basic operations: depositing, patterning, and etching.
The following table lists the required processing times and setup times at each of the steps. Assume that the unit of production is a wafer, from which individual chips are cut at a later stage.
Note: A setup can only begin once the batch has arrived at the machine.
| Process Step | 1 Depositing | 2 Patterning | 3 Etching | |
| Setup time | 58 min. | 26 min. | 16 min. | |
| Processing time | 0.21 min./unit | 0.31 min./unit | 0.26 min./unit | |
(a) What is the process capacity in units per hour with a batch size of 100 wafers?
Answered in a table like:
Deposition units/hr
Patterning units/hr
Etching units/hr
(c) Suppose JCL Inc. came up with a new technology that eliminated the setup time for step 1 (deposition), but increased the processing time to 0.58 minute/unit. What would be the batch size you would choose so as to maximize the overall capacity of the process? (Round your intermediate computations to 2 decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Batch size is ___ units?

You are to select 1 business that does not already have a Web site, and develop an Internet strategy for it. Most large corporations already have Web sites, so you may have to think of something on a smaller scale such as a local bike store. Sole proprietorship businesses that provide services like car repair, house cleaning, tax preparation, and that use the Internet and similar services are also good options. You will also consider and describe how the business that you select can use social media to achieve its objectives. Use the Internet and the library to research and analyze markets and competitors.
After selecting a business, you will need to answer the following questions:

Review the discussion question and answer below. Do you agree with the answer? why or why not? Give your opinion.
Discussion Question:
1. Suppose an employer gives employees an insurance discount based on number of hours of physical fitness activities. Who benefits from the program? Who is harmed? Is this ethical?
2. Suppose an employer charges all employees the same premium, regardless of their health habits, Who benefits? Who is harmed? Is this ethical?
Answer: When an employer gives the employees insurance discounts based on number of hours if physical fitness activities the one who benefits from the programs is the employer and the ones who are harmed are the employees. This is because many people might not have capacity to do all the programs and the employees have age gaps which might not allow some to do fitness activities. The activities they do might not be related to the stress they take during work . Hence this is not only harmful but also unethical to relate discounts and fitness activities.
When an employer charges same premium regardless of health habits it is beneficial to the employer and employee. It provides full premium to the employee and any sudden health problems can also be covered as health will not be the same always. This also makes everyone in the company equal and gives equal rights and benefits to everyone which is also ethical.
