1. A company produces three combinations of mixed vegetables that sell in​ 1-kg packages. Italian style combines 0.4 kg of​ zucchini, 0.4 kg of​ broccoli, and 0.2 kg of carrots. French style combines 0.5 kg of broccoli and 0.5 kg of carrots. Oriental style combines 0.2 kg of​ zucchini, 0.3 kg of​ broccoli, and 0.5 kg of carrots. The company has a stock of 18,000 kg of​ zucchini, 30,200 kg of​ broccoli, and 36,800 kg of carrots. How many packages of each style should it prepare to use up existing​ supplies?

2. A knitting shop orders yarn from three suppliers in​ Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa. One month the shop ordered a total of 108 units of yarn from these suppliers. The delivery costs were ​$82,​ $45​, and ​$67 per unit for the orders from​ Toronto, Montreal, and​ Ottawa, respectively, with total delivery costs of ​$6453. The shop ordered the same amount from Toronto and Ottawa. How many units were ordered from each​ supplier?

9.3. Jean Clark is the manager of the Midtown Saveway Grocery Store. She now needs to replenish her supply of strawberries. Her regular supplier can provide as many cases as she wants. However, because these strawberries already are very ripe, she will need to sell them tomorrow and then discard any that remain unsold. Jean estimates that she will be able to sell 10, 11, 12, or 13 cases tomorrow. She can purchase the strawberries for $3 per case and sell them for $8 per case. Jean now needs to decide how many cases to purchase.

Jean has checked the store’s records on daily sales of strawberries. On this basis, she estimates that the prior probabilities are 0.2, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.1 for being able to sell 10, 11, 12, and 13 cases of strawberries tomorrow.

  1. Develop a decision analysis formulation of this problem by identifying the decision alternatives, the states of nature, and the payoff table.
  1. If Jean is dubious about the accuracy of these prior probabilities and so chooses to ignore them and use the maximax criterion, how many cases of strawberries should she purchase?
  1. How many cases should be purchased if she uses the maximin criterion?

1. Look at the solubility guidelines below. Which of these are observable in your data?

 

1.Make a table in your notebook with the anions on one axis and the cations on the other axis. Make the boxes in the table large enough that you can write down values as well as observations.

Anions: NO3-, CO32-, SO42-

Cations: K+, Sr2+, Ag+

2.Look up and write down the value for solubility at 20 °C of each of each of the 9 resulting salts in the table (a value, not soluble/insoluble). It may help to use the “find” function in your web browser in the Wikipedia solubility table. Make sure you write down the units of the solubility.

3.Clean nine small test tubes with soap and water, rinse them with deionized water, shake the water out of them, and place them in a test tube rack. Add a few drops of the 0.10 M solutions that contain the ions on the table to the test tubes (pay attention to the concentrations on the bottles). Be sure to replace the droppers in their correct bottles. Mix the contents of the tube thoroughly by holding the top of the tube and snapping the bottom of the tube with your finger. Observe each tube for a precipitate. Record your observations in your table. Be sure to record the concentrations of solutions from the bottles.

4.Try mixing Ag+ and SO42- again, but this time try using the 1.0 M Ag+ with 1.0 M SO42-.

QUESTIONS

1. Look at the solubility guidelines below. Which of these are observable in your data?

2. When a precipitate forms, do any of the ions involved in the precipitate stay in solution?

3. Are there more strontium ions in solution in the presence of equal concentrations of carbonate or sulfate (use the solubility values you looked up to help)?

Please provide your thoughts about the below paragrahp regarding stocks and returns:

Asset Pricing Model and how investors can use it to research stocks they are looking at investing in. In other words, the return that investors expect to earn on a risky asset equals the risk-free rate plus a risk premium (Smart, Gitman & Joehnk). Investors expect a return on an investment higher then they can receive with a risk free asset. Historically the 10-year US Treasury bond has been the benchmark of a risk free asset. Since the government of the United States has the ability to print money it is assumed that they will always pay their debts. Also US treasury securities have been some of the most sought after risk free investments in the world. We discussed the concept of diversification and how that can lower the overall risk of a portfolio. You will never be able to completely eliminate risk so investors will require a higher return for riskier assets. The market classifies riskiness of an investment by the beta.

Beta is a measure of undiversifiable risk. A security’s beta indicates how the security’s return responds to fluctuations in market returns, which is why market risk is synonymous with undiversifiable risk (Smart, Gitman & Joehnk). We will use the beta in the CAPM equation to quantify the expected return that an investor will require on two stocks below:

The CAPM equation is the Risk Free Rate + Beta (Expected Market Return – Risk Free Rate). The part of the equation in the parentheses is classified as the risk premium.

Ford Motor Company

2.8% + .85 (8.0% - 2.8%)= 7.22%

Bank of America

2.8% + 1.62 (8.0% - 2.8%)= 11.22%

As the beta increases the return required by an investor also increases. The farther above 1.0 that a beta increases the riskier that security is. As discussed earlier beta is the measure of how sensitive a security is to fluctuations in the market. A security with a beta of .5 is one half as responsive as the market. A beta of 1.0 is the market benchmark. A beta of 2.0 is twice as responsive as the market. This can mean that you can reap greater returns or greater losses then the overall market. This is the risk that an investor is trying to quantify with this model and beta can be useful tool. It is important to note that the CAPM does have some limitations. Betas are usually based on historical data and this could cause some issues. Company’s risk profile can change often due to market conditions so beta should be only a tool in the toolbox not the only answer.

DataSpan, Inc., automated its plant at the start of the current year and installed a flexible manufacturing system. The company is also evaluating its suppliers and moving toward Lean Production. Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations.

1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month.

1-b. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month.

1-c. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month.

2. Evaluate the company’s performance over the last four months.

3-a. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as in month 4, except that through the use of Lean Production the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE.

3-b. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume in month 6 that the move time, process time, and so forth, are again the same as in month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time.

Update your program from Homework 4, number 2 (Hat, Jacket, and Waist size) to allow the user to repeat the calculation as many times as they wish. Include error handling - the program should throw an error if the user enters invalid input (ie. a negative height). The program must use try, throw and catch and must use the runtime_error kind of how I used it but it still has to be debugged.
