Autos orders their tires from a wholesaler. Every year Radfors requires 10,000 tires of a certain type. Cost is $150 per tire from their supplier.
The estimated cost of orderingat the suppliers and paying shipping fees is $80 per order. K = $80
The holding cost per tire is estimated to be 10% of the cost of the tire. h = .01 * $150 = $15
Using the economic ordering quantity model, the order size that would minimize the total costs is equal to
a. 103
b. 194
c. 287
d. 327

Current Issues
One of the biggest issues facing this company is the rise in prices of raw materials, especially the iconic almond, which due to drought in California has seen a price rise in recent years. In order to diversify their product line, Brown & Haley has started to expand its repertoire to including other nuts, such as cashews and macadamia nuts. They also have a project underway to test a new product line of packaged mixed nuts. Note that this scenario is fictional and the details do not represent actual operations of Brown & Haley.
The Scenario
The company is considering three nut mixes for inclusion in the new product line: Regular Mix, Deluxe Mix, and Holiday Mix. Each mix is made from 5 nuts in different combinations:
An accountant at Brown & Haley completed a cost analysis and determined that the profit contribution per pound is $1.65 for the Regular Mix, $1.90 for the Deluxe Mix, and $2.35 for the Holiday Mix.
Different nuts come from different suppliers. They are shipped in bulk containers and ordering a partial container is not possible. The currently available container sizes and costs are as follows:
Type of Nut |
Container Size (pounds) |
Cost per Container |
Almond |
6000 |
$7800 |
Brazil |
7500 |
$7350 |
Filbert |
7500 |
$7150 |
Pecan |
6000 |
$7200 |
Walnut |
7500 |
$7450 |
One container of each of the types of nuts has been ordered and is on the way.
The sales and marketing teams have projected that initial demand for the different types of mixes will be as follows:
Type of Mix |
Orders (pounds) |
Regular |
10,000 |
Deluxe |
5,000 |
Holiday |
3,000 |
The president of Brown & Haley wants to commit to producing enough of the various mixes to meet the projected initial demand, even if not immediately profitable, in order to introduce these new mixes to the market.
The Analysis Required
The President would like to see a PowerPoint presentation of no more than 10 slides that answers the following questions:

Please answer all parts of the following question. Please show all work and all steps.
1a.) Solve the initial value problem W((t^2) + 1, f(t)) = 1, f(0) = 1
1b.) Let x1 and x2 be two solutions of x''+ ((x')/(t)) + q(t)x = 0, t > 0, where q(t) is a continuous function. Given that W(6)=7, find W(7)
1c.) Show that any solution of x''+ 5x' + 6x = 0 tends to zero as t approaches positive infinity.
1d.) Solve x'' + 2x' = 0, x(0) = 0, the limit as t approaches positive infinity x(t) = a
1e.) Solve x'' - x = t(e^(2t))

Honeydew bottles honey jars and sells them through retail
channels. The weight on the sticker says 20 oz and Honeydew claims
its bottles have a weight that is normally distributed with a mean
of 20 oz and std dev of 2 oz. The retailer has been receiving
several complaints lately and decides to measure a sample of 4 jars
and finds weights of 18, 20, 17 and 19 oz respectively.
a. The retailer complains to Honeydew if he is 95% confident that
the mean is lower than advertised. Does he complain?
b. If the retailer’s customers return any jar under 18 oz in
weight, what fraction of the retailer’s sales result in a
return?
c. Assuming Honeydew’s claim is true, what is their current sigma capability? What can they do to reduce the fraction of returns to 5%? What then would the new sigma capability be?

FlorU football programs are printed 1 week prior to each home game. Attendance averages 90,000 screaming and loyal Tators fans, of whom two-thirds usually buy the program, following a normal distribution with standard deviation of 5000 programs. A program sells for $4 each. Unsold programs are sent to a recycling center that pays 10 cents per program. The cost to print each program is $1.
a. How many programs should be ordered per game to maximize expected profit?
b. What is the stockout risk for this order size?
c. How sensitive is the order quantity in (a) to the following estimates?
I. The standard deviation of demand
II. The selling price of a program
III. The cost of recycling an unsold program Answer by considering at least 4 values of each quantity and calculating the corresponding order quantity. Draw a graph showing the effect of the above variables with order quantity on the Y axis. Comment briefly (1-2 lines) on each graph.

You can use two types of fertilizer in your orange grove, Best Food and Natural Nutri. Each bag of Best Food contains 8 pounds of nitrogen, 4 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 2 pounds of chlorine. Each bag of Natural Nutri contains 3 pounds of nitrogen, 4 pounds of phosphoric acid and 1 pound of chlorine. You know that the grove needs at least 1,000 pounds of phosphoric acid and at most 400 pounds of chlorine. If you want to minimize the amount of nitrogen added to the grove, how many bags of each type of fertilizer should be used? How much nitrogen will be added?
