A company is using Markov theory to analyse switching between four different foods marketed as slimming aids. These slimming aids claim that with regular use they result in significant weight loss. Individual customers who buy these sliming aids only switch (on average) once every four months. Market research has produced the data shown below for the probability of customers switching between slimming aids. UL20/0468 Page 6 of 9 To 1 slimming aid From slimming aid 1234 1 0.04 0.02 0 0 0.55 0.89 0 0 0.30 0.04 0 0 0.11 0.05 1 2 3 4 Here, for example, there is a probability of 0.11 that a customer switches to slimming aid 4 from slimming aid 2. The current market shares are 9%, 78%, 3% and 10% for aids 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. (a) Copy the following table into your answer and fill in the long-run prediction for the market shares for these four slimming aids. Long-run (%, 2dp) Aid 1 Aid 2 Aid 3 Aid 4 (b) The appropriate regulatory authority in the country where these four slimming aids are marketed has been concerned about the claims made for weight loss. As a result of an investigation which they have made they intend to ban sliming aid 2 from the market in six months’ time for making false claims. Giving a clear explanation of your working, copy the following table into your answer and fill in the percentage of the market that will be affected by this ban when it is imposed in six months’ time. Value Percentage affected (2dp)

There is an urban legend that mothers have increased sensitivity to and awareness of noises, in particular to that of children. A social psychologist finds support for the legend in the literature and now wants to confirm it. The psychologist designs a study where he recruits women that think they are going to participate in a sleep experiment where they will evaluate the comfort of different mattresses overnight. While the women slept, the psychologist introduces noises to test the minimum volume needed for the women to be awakened by the noise. The wake-up decibel data are below. What can be concluded with α = 0.10?

Question 2

The following are the inventories for the years 2016, 2017, and 2018 for Parry Company:

2. The Versatech Corporation has decided to produce three new products. Five branch plants now have excess production capacity. The unit manufacturing cost of the first product would be $31, $29, $32, $28, and $29 in Plants 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The unit manufacturing cost of the second product would be $45, $41, $46, $42, and $43 in Plants 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The unit manufacturing cost of the third product would be $38, $35, and $40 in Plants 1, 2, and 3, respectively, whereas Plants 4 and 5 do not have the capability for producing this product. Sales forecasts indicate that 600, 1000, and 800 units of products 1, 2, and 3, respectively, should be produced per day. Plants 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 have the capacity to produce 400, 600, 400, 600, and 1000 units daily, respectively, regardless of the product or combination of products involved. Assume that any plant having the capability and capacity to produce them can produce any combination of the products in any quantity.

3. (a) Write down an optimization formulation for this problem. Remark: You need to write down the abstract optimization formulation, explain the meaning of each optimization variable and explain what are the data.

4. (b) There is no “transportation” in the problem statement (there is no “truck”, no “route”). Nevertheless, the formulation is similar to a transportation problem. Ex- plain how to view this problem as a transportation problem.

5. (c) Solve the problem and report the optimal solution and optimal cost. You can use software to solve the problem; if so, please provide the code (e.g. copy the code to the solution file, or take a snapshot and paste the picture in the solution file).

Lab 1

Write a program in the C/C++ programming language to input and add two fractions each represented as a numerator and denominator. Do not use classes or structures. Print your result (which is also represented as a numerator/denominator) to standard out. If you get done early, try to simplify your result with the least common denominator. The following equation can be used to add fractions:

a/b + c/d = (a*d + b*c)/(b*d)

Example:

1/2 + 1/4 = ( 1(4) + 2(1) ) / 2(4) = 6/8 = 3/4

Lab 2

Re-design lab1 using data modeling design methods using the struct mechanism as discussed in the lecture notes entitled “Data Modeling (w/ structures)”. Your program should function exactly like lab1 with the only difference being the object-oriented manner in which it is written. Use the design example from the notes to assist you in the re-design.

I finished the above 2 labs but I need help with the following lab.

Re-design lab2 using a C++ class. Use examples from the study notes on data modeling (w/ classes). Convert your data model from a structure to a C++ class. Convert your data model operations from using functions to class member functions. Re-design your main program using objects from your class definition to perform the same functionality as in lab2. Use the example(s) from the notes to assist you in the re-design.

Please help with this thank you

A project manager decided to use critical ratio (C/Rij for WP j of project i) to prioritize and schedule the remaining work packages to be done for three concurrent projects with the data in the table below. The technical sequence (precedence) are WP1>WP2>WP4>WP4, for each of the three projects. For an illustration, the first project is due by day 4. Its first work package requires 2 days at workstation 1.

Please do/answer the following:

a. Calculate the critical ratio for each work package

b. Sequence them by their critical ratio in their descending order

c. Identify the most critical work package

d. Identify the least critical work package

e. Schedule them on a Gantt chart

f. Identify the completion time expected for each project

g. Identify each project expected to be late, based on the schedule

h. Identify the make span for the entire set of three projects

Variable Cost Per Unit:

Manufacturing:

Direct Materials = $20

Direct Labor = $12

Variable Manufacturing Overhead = $4

Variable Selling and Administrative = $2

Fixed costs per year:

Fixed manufacturing overhead = $960,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $240,000

During its first year of Operations, produced 60,000 units and sold 60,000 units. During it's second year of operations, it produced 75,000 and sold 50,000 units. In its third year, it produced 40,000 units and sold 65,000 units. The selling price of the companys product is $58 per unit.

1. compute the companys break even point in units sold.

2. assume the company uses the variable costing:

a. compete the unit product cost for year 1, year 2, year 3

b. prepare an income statement for year 1, 2, and 3

3. assume the company uses absorption costing:

a. compute the unit product cost for year 1, 2, and 3

b. prepare an income statement for year 1, 2, and 3

4. compare the net operating income figures that you computed in requirements 2 and 3 to the break even point that you computed in requirement 1. which net operating income figures seem counterintuitive? why?

1. Assume that in year 1 an economy produces 1000 units of output and they sell for $90 a unit, on average. In year 2, the economy produces the same 1000 units of output, and sells it for $110 a unit, on average. Use year 1 prices as base year to calculate real GDP in Year 1 and Year 2. What happened to real GDP between years 1 and 2?

2. Which of the following are included and which are excluded in calculating this year’s GDP? Explain in each instance.

(a) A homeowner who mows her own lawn

(b) A decline in the average hours worked per week

(c) Business expenditures on pollution control equipment

1 16 $2

2 20 3

3 30 4

4 36 5

5 40 6
