Demand for walnut fudge ice cream at the Sweet Cream Dairy can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 17 gallons per week and a standard deviation of 3.2 gallons per week. The new manager desires a service level of 90 percent. Lead time is two days, and the dairy is open seven days a week. (Hint: Work in terms of weeks.)

a-1. If an ROP model is used, what ROP would be consistent with the desired service level? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

ROP ______ gallons

a-2. How many days of supply are on hand at the ROP, assuming average demand? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Days _______

b-1. If a fixed-interval model is used instead of an ROP model, what order size would be needed for the 90 percent service level with an order interval of 7 days and a supply of 8 gallons on hand at the order time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)

Order size _______ gallons

b-2. What is the probability of experiencing a stockout before this order arrives? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole percent. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

Probability _________ %

c. Suppose the manager is using the ROP model described in part a. One day after placing an order with the supplier, the manager receives a call from the supplier that the order will be delayed because of problems at the supplier’s plant. The supplier promises to have the order there in two days. After hanging up, the manager checks the supply of walnut fudge ice cream and finds that 2 gallons have been sold since the order was placed. Assuming the supplier’s promise is valid, what is the probability that the dairy will run out of this flavor before the shipment arrives? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole percent. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

Risk probability _________ %

Widgets is considering a new investment that has a projected unit sales in year 1 of 1000 units. sales price per unit is $80, variable costs are 60% of sales, and fixed costs are $200,000 depreciation is 75,000 and the tax rate is 21%

what is the projects operating cash flow for year 1?

what is the depreciation tax shield in year 1?

how sensitive is the operating cash flow to a $1 change in per unit sales price

you feel that both sales and variable costs are accurate to +/- 15% what is the annual operating cash flow?

The last part of the question states "You feel that both sales and variable costs are accurate -/+ 15%. What is the annual operating cash flow for the best-case scenario?" I'm not certain on what to do with the variable costs, but I am sure that sales go up 15% from the 1000. does this imply that variable costs go down 15% from 60% or the number that is calculated after sales

All figures are correct. which is why im running into issues i think im doing it correctly but I have no idea on the answers.

U(C1, C2, C3, C4, C5) = C1∙C2∙C3∙C4∙C5

As a mathematical function, does U have a maximum or minimum value? What values of Ci correspond to the minimum value of U? What values of Ci correspond to the maximum value of U? Do these values of Ci make sense from an economic standpoint?

Now let us connect the idea of economic utility to actual dollar values. To keep the values more manageable, we will use household income rather than the entire state budget, and retail costs and measures rather than industrial ones. Find the Median Household Income for Mesa, AZ for the most recent year possible. Then find the dollar cost in Mesa, AZ for a Penny, a pound of Ground Beef, a pair of Jeans, fresh Orange Juice, and a Movie Ticket. (Entertainment is often used as a stand-in for Climate.) A Cost-of- Living Index is a good place to find much of this data. Record these prices as P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 respectively.

Construct an equation using Median Income, the Ci and Pi values that illustrates how much of each resource the Median Household can afford to purchase. Given this restriction, do the maximum or minimum values of U change? Do the values of Ci that give the maximum or minimum values change? What are these new values? How should the Median Household budget its Income so as to maximize its Economic Utility?

Write up your findings in a paper that you could turn in to an employer. Be sure to show all your work. Include any appropriate references as well as any computational devices used.

Students will be asked to formulate, define, and interpret mathematical modeling (particularly ordinary differential equation) which involves real engineering applications and related to their majoring (E.g. Newton’s law cooling/warming, mixture problem, radioactive decay, spring-mass system, series circuit, deflection of the beam, etc.).. The selected model should be solved analytically using any methods that have been learnt in the mathematic lecture. just give me an example with related topic and how to solve it using math

1. A mass weighting 8 pounds is suspended from a spring whose spring constant is 9 lb/ft. There are no damping or
external forces. The mass is then released from an initial position of 5 feet above the equilibrium position with an
initial downward velocity of 30 ft/sec. (Note: Use g = 32 ft/sec!)
a) Write down an initial value problem modeling this situation.
b) Find the equation of motion.
c) What are the amplitude, period, and frequency of the simple harmonic motion?
d) At what time does the mass pass through the equilibrium position heading upward for the first time, if ever?
Explain your answer.

(solve using differential equations not trig)

You just received a drone! After a little practice, you try a long-range test of it by having it carry a small package to your home. A friend volunteers to take it 5 miles east of your home with the goal of flying directly back to your home. So you program and guide the drone to always head directly toward home at a speed of 6 miles per hour. However, a wind is blowing from the south at a steady 4 miles per hour. The drone, though, always attempts to head directly home. We will assume the drone always flies at the same height. What is the drone's flight path? Does it get the package to your home? What happens if the speeds are different? What if the initial distance is different? How much time does the drone’s battery have to last to get home?

  1. OR. If you prefer, calculate ProjCS(A)b using the approach of Example 8 on page 266 instead. You should get an infinite number of solutions for x to the normal equation. Any solution for x will work, and then calculate Ax to get ProjCS(A)
    • For either approach, briefly explain why ProjCS(A)b is the closest vector in your plane to the vector (See Theorem 5.15 if needed.)
  2. Choose 5 arbitrary unique vectors in R2 that are not on the same line or scalar multiples of each other. What are your 5 vectors in R2?
    • Use normal equations (see page 265, if needed) to determine the equation of the least square regression line for this set of 5 points.
  3. Choose any 2 of the 5 vectors in the above problem that will form a nonstandard basis for R2, which we will call B’. (12 points for entire problem)
    • What are your two vectors in B’?
    • If B is the standard basis for R2 (I.e. B ={(1.0). (0.1)}, determine the transition matrix (called P-1 in our text) from B to B’.
    • Use P-1 to calculate the coordinates for (1,5) with respect to the basis B’.
  4. Investigate the following linear differential equation: y’’ + 4y = 0; Solutions {sin(2x), cos(2x)}
  • Verify that each solution satisfies the differential equation.
  • Use the Wronskian to verify that the solution set is linearly independent.
  • Write the general solution of the differential equation.
