The Valley Wine Company produces two kinds of wine—Valley Nectar and Valley Red. The wines are produced from 64 tons of grapes the company has acquired this season. A 1000-gallon batch of Nectar requires 4 tons of grapes and a batch of Red requires 8 tons. However, production is limited by the availability of only 50 cubic yards of storage space for aging and 120 hours of processing time. A batch of each type of wine requires 5 cubic yards of storage space. The processing time for a batch of Nectar is 15 hours and the processing time for a batch of Red is 8 hours. Demand for the two types of wine is limited to 7 batches, each. The profit for a batch of Nectar is $9,000 and the profit for a batch of red is $12,000. The company wants to determine the number of 1,000--gallon batches of Nectar and Red to produce in order to maximize profit.

a. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.

b. Use POM for windows to obtain the solutions list and results printouts for this problem.

c. Answer the questions below from the printouts you obtained in b above and submit both the printout and answers to the questions to Blackboard by the time and date specified.

1. How much is produced of each type of wine to maximize profits and what is the maximum profit?

2. How much of each type of resource is left over?

3. What is the value for an additional unit of each resource?

4. Over what ranges are the values in 3) above valid?

5. What is the profit-per-unit at which the production plan will change for each type of wine?

Part 2: t-Procedures

In this part, we will use t-procedures. t-procedures are both confidence intervals and hypothesis tests that

use a t distribution. They are called t-procedures because they rely on a t-test statistic and/or a t-critical

value, so we only need to know the results of a sample in order to perform these procedures for a population

mean.

In Part 2, you will use the data file TempSample00-18.

5) Describe the statistic of interest (in context)? Give a numerical value along with your description.

Round to two decimal places.

2.1.2 Checking Conditions

1) Check that the conditions for using t-procedures are satisfied. If they are not, discuss whether or not it is reasonable to use t-procedures.

2.2 Confidence Intervals

2.2.1 Motivating Question: Confidence Intervals

The authors of the paper "Age and Violent Content Labels Make Video Games Forbidden Fruits for...

The authors of the paper "Age and Violent Content Labels Make Video Games Forbidden Fruits for Youth" carried out an experiment to determine if restrictive labels on video games actually increased the attractiveness of the game for young game players.† Participants read a description of a new video game and were asked how much they wanted to play the game. The description also included an age rating. Some participants read the description with an age restrictive label of 7+, indicating that the game was not appropriate for children under the age of 7. Others read the same description, but with an age restrictive label of 12+, 16+, or 18+.

The data below for 12- to 13-year-old boys are fictitious, but are consistent with summary statistics given in the paper. (The sample sizes in the actual experiment were larger.) For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the boys were assigned at random to one of the four age label treatments (7+, 12+, 16+, and 18+). Data shown are the boys' ratings of how much they wanted to play the game on a scale of 1 to 10.

7+ label 12+ label 16+ label 18+ label
7 8 7 10
7 7 9 9
6 10 8 6
5 5 6 8
5 7 7 7
8 9 5 6
6 5 8 8
1 8 9 9
2 4 6 10
4 7 7 8

Do the data provide convincing evidence that the mean rating associated with the game description by 12- to 13-year-old boys is not the same for all four restrictive rating labels? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05.

A. Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)   F =

B. What can be said about the P-value for this test?

P-value > 0.1000
.050 < P-value < 0.100   
0.010 < P-value < 0.0500
.001 < P-value < 0.010
P-value < 0.001

C.
Reject H0. The data do not provide convincing evidence that the mean rating associated with the game description by 12- to 13-year-old boys is not the same for all four restrictive rating labels.
Reject H0. The data provide convincing evidence that the mean rating associated with the game description by 12- to 13-year-old boys is not the same for all four restrictive rating labels.    
Fail to reject H0. The data do not provide convincing evidence that the mean rating associated with the game description by 12- to 13-year-old boys is not the same for all four restrictive rating labels.
Fail to reject H0. The data provide convincing evidence that the mean rating associated with the game description by 12- to 13-year-old boys is not the same for all four restrictive rating labels.

Waterways Continuing Problem-8 (Part Level Submission)

When Waterways’ management met to review the year-end financial statements, the room was filled with excitement. Sales had been exceptional during the year and every department had exceeded the budget and last year’s sales totals. Several years ago Waterways had implemented a bonus system based on percentage of sales over budget, and the managers were expecting healthy cheques at the end of the year.

Yet the plant manager, Ryan Smith, was stunned into silence when he read the bottom line on the income statement for manufacturing operations. It was showing a loss! He immediately approached the CFO asking for an explanation. Ryan wondered, “Why did we go through all that trouble and inconvenience to adopt those cost-cutting measures when they had the opposite effect?” One of those measures was to move toward lean manufacturing.

The CFO retrieved the following information with respect to the top-selling line from the manufacturing operations for the last three years. Production on this line began on January 1, 2014:
2014 2015 2016
Beginning inventory of finished units 0
Production in units 68,000 74,800 52,360
Sales in units 60,000 64,800 70,360
Selling price $43 $43 $45
Direct material $6 $6 $7
Direct labour 2 2 3
Variable manufacturing overhead 7 7 7
Variable selling and administration 8 8 8
Fixed manufacturing overhead 523,600 523,600 523,600
Fixed selling and administration 120,000 120,000 120,000


Waterways uses the absorption-costing method and accounts for inventory using FIFO

Using the information provided, prepare condensed, three-year comparative income statements using the variable-costing method.
