Kilgore's Deli is a small delicatessen located near a major university. Kilgore does a large walk-in carry-out lunch business. The deli offers two luncheon chili specials, Wimpy and Dial 911. At the beginning of the day, Kilgore needs to decide how much of each special to make (he always sells out of whatever he makes). The profit on one serving of Wimpy is $0.35, on one serving of Dial 911, $0.59. Each serving of Wimpy requires 0.45 pound of beef, 0.45 cup of onions, and 5 ounces of Kilgore's special sauce. Each serving of Dial 911 requires 0.45 pound of beef, 0.72 cup of onions, 1 ounces of Kilgore's special sauce, and 4 ounces of hot sauce. Today, Kilgore has 33 pounds of beef, 47 cups of onions, 81 ounces of Kilgore's special sauce, and 48 ounces of hot sauce on hand.

  1. Develop an LP model that will tell Kilgore how many servings of Wimpy and Dial 911 to make in order to maximize his profit today.

Let

W = # of servings of Wimpy to make

D = # of servings of Dial 911 to make

Max 0.35W + 0.59D
s.t.
0.45W + 0.45D 33 (Beef)
0.45W + 0.72D 47 (Onions)
5W + 1D 81 (Special Sauce)
4D 48 (Hot Sauce)
W, D 0

b. Find an optimal solution. Truncate your answers to whole servings available for sale.

Solution:

W = 13

D = 12

  1. What is the optimal profit? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

    Profit = $ __________

  2. What is the dual value for special sauce? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

    Dual value for special sauce = $ 0.07
  3. Increase the amount of special sauce available by 1 ounce. Give the new solution. Round the answer for profit to the nearest cent.

    Solution: W = ________ , D = 12 , Profit = $ _________

    Does the solution confirm the answer to part (c)?

    Dual value is confirmed.

Wally’s Widget Company (WWC) incorporated near the end of 2011. Operations began in January of 2012. WWC prepares adjusting entries and financial statements at the end of each month. Balances in the accounts at the end of January are as follows: Cash $ 20,870 Unearned Revenue (30 units) $ 5,100 Accounts Receivable $ 11,900 Accounts Payable (Jan Rent) $ 2,800 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ (1,650) Notes Payable $ 13,500 Inventory (35 units) $ 2,975 Contributed Capital $ 6,500 Retained Earnings – Feb 1, 2012 $ 6,195 • WWC establishes a policy that it will sell inventory at $165 per unit. • In January, WWC received a $5,100 advance for 30 units, as reflected in Unearned Revenue. • WWC’s February 1 inventory balance consisted of 35 units at a total cost of $2,975. • WWC’s note payable accrues interest at a 12% annual rate. • WWC will use the FIFO inventory method and record COGS on a perpetual basis. February Transactions 02/01 Included in WWC’s February 1 Accounts Receivable balance is a $1,300 account due from Kit Kat, a WWC customer. Kit Kat is having cash flow problems and cannot pay its balance at this time. WWC arranges with Kit Kat to convert the $1,300 balance to a note, and Kit Kat signs a 6-month note, at 12% annual interest. The principal and all interest will be due and payable to WWC on August 1, 2012. 02/02 WWC paid a $800 insurance premium covering the month of February. The amount paid is recorded directly as an expense. 02/05 An additional 190 units of inventory are purchased on account by WWC for $14,250 – terms 2/15, n30. 02/05 WWC paid Federal Express $380 to have the 190 units of inventory delivered overnight. Delivery occurred on 02/06. 02/10 Sales of 160 units of inventory occurred during the period of 02/07 – 02/10. The sales terms are 2/10, net 30. 02/15 The 30 units that were paid for in advance and recorded in January are delivered to the customer. 02/15 25 units of the inventory that had been sold on 2/10 are returned to WWC. The units are not damaged and can be resold. Therefore, they are returned to inventory. Assume the units returned are from the 2/05 purchase. 02/16 WWC pays the first 2 weeks wages to the employees. The total paid is $2,300. 02/17 Paid in full the amount owed for the 2/05 purchase of inventory. WWC records purchase discounts in the current period rather than as a reduction of inventory costs. 02/18 Wrote off a customer’s account in the amount of $1,750. 02/19 $5,600 of rent for January and February was paid. Because all of the rent will soon expire, the February portion of the payment is charged directly to expense. 02/19 Collected $9,500 of customers’ Accounts Receivable. Of the $9,500, the discount was taken by customers on $6,500 of account balances; therefore WWC received less than $9,500. 02/26 WWC recovered $550 cash from the customer whose account had previously been written off (see 02/18). 02/27 A $700 utility bill for February arrived. It is due on March 15 and will be paid then. 02/28 WWC declared and paid a $950 cash dividend. Adjusting Entries: 02/29 Record the $2,300 employee salary that is owed but will be paid March 1. 02/29 WWC decides to use the aging method to estimate uncollectible accounts. WWC determines 8% of the ending balance is the appropriate end of February estimate of uncollectible accounts. 02/29 Record February interest expense accrued on the note payable. 02/29 Record one month’s interest earned Kit Kat’s note (see 02/01).

NEEDED JOURNAL ENTRIES: Feb 15. Record the 25 units of inventory returned Feb 29. WWC decides to use the aging method to estimate uncollectible accounts. WWC determines 8% of the ending balance is the appropriate end of February estimate of uncollectible accounts.

Write it in C++

The most disgusting recursive problem ever. The McDonald’s near campus sells Chicken McNuggets in orders of 6, 9, or 20. Suppose you are ordering for a party and you know exactly how many McNuggets will be eaten by guests. It turns out that, for any integer n ≥ 44, you can order exactly n Chicken McNuggets at this McDonald’s. For purposes of this problem, you cannot throw out McNuggets or allow them to go uneaten, such as by acquiring n = 44 by buying two twenty packs and a six pack, then discarding two. If the thought of this many Chicken McNuggets is too disgusting, you may pretend you are buying n ≥ 44 celery sticks in bunches of 6, 9, or 20 (feel free to rename the function below in that case). Finish the recursive function below to complete the ordering and return the counts by reference parameters. You may assume for this problem that there will be no overflow or underflow at any point in the problem and that stack space is not a concern. The code has been started for you and is part of a correct solution.

void buyChicken ( unsi gned n , un si gned & num6Packs , un si gned & num9Packs , un signed & num20Packs ) { i f ( 44 == n ) { num20Packs = 1 ; num6Packs = 4 ; num9Packs = 0 ; }

e l s e i f ( 4 5 == n ) { num20Packs = 0 ; num6Packs = 3 ; num9Packs = 3 ; } e l s e i f ( 4 6 == n ) { num20Packs = 2 ; num6Packs = 1 ; num9Packs = 0 ; }

The lake near Grassy Narrows is contaminated with mercury from an old paper mill, which has been shut down for many years. Some of the people who eat fish from the lake are showing signs of mercury poisoning. Mercury is still leaking into the lake but no one knows the exact location of the leak. Marginal damages per year are given by MD = 0.02E (t = 0, …) and emissions are E = 4000. The cost to locate the leak and clean up the lake is $2 million (t = 0).

a) If r = 2% and you use a 100 year time frame (t = 0, …, 99) calculate the NPV to clean the lake.
b) If r = 8% and you use a 100 year time frame (t = 0, …, 99) calculate the NPV to clean the lake.
c) If r = 2% and you use a 50 year time frame (t = 0, …, 49) calculate the NPV to clean the lake.
d) If r = 8% and you use a 50 year time frame (t = 0, …, 49) calculate the NPV to clean the lake. e) Why are the present values for the damages using the 50 year time frame (half the time) not half of the present values using the 100 year time frame?
