Sam's Cat Hotel operates 52 weeks per year, 6 days per week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for $11.00 per bag. The following information is available about these bags:
Demand=80 bags/week
Order cost=$55.00/order
Annual holding cost=40 percent of cost
Desired cycle-service level=80 percent
Lead time=5 weeks (30 working days)
Standard deviation of weekly demand=15 bags
Current on-hand inventory is 320 bags, with no open orders or backorders.
a. Suppose that the weekly demand forecast of 80 bags is incorrect and actual demand averages only 55 bags per week. How much higher will total costs be, owing to the distorted EOQ caused by this forecast error?
The costs will be $___ higher owing to the error in EOQ. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
b. Suppose that actual demand is 50 bags but that ordering costs are cut to only $13.00 by using the internet to automate order placing. However, the buyer does not tell anyone, and the EOQ is not adjusted to reflect this reduction in S. How much higher will total costs be, compared to what they could if the EOQ were adjusted?
The costs will be $____ higher owing to the error EOQ.

Why is it difficult to find eigenenergies and eigenstates of electrons in multi electron atoms? Why in the multi electron atoms do states with the same principal quantum number with different orbital quantum numbers have different energies? Why do states with the same principal quantum number and orbital quantum numbers have different energy levels depending on their total spin quantum number?

The Affordable Care Act allow states to expand Medicaid services by raising the income eligibility guidelines. The federal government will pay for 90% of the costs of the program expansion and the state is required to pay the remaining 10%. Many states (including Oklahoma) have opted not to particiapte in the program expansion. Do you feel that our state should or should not participate in Medicaid expansion and why?

a.Consider a hypothetical gas of four distinguishable particles, labeled W, X, Y and Z. Assume that they are distributed between only two translational quantum states of energies 2E and 4E. How many different configurations of this gas are there?
b.Consider a hypothetical gas of three distinguishable particles, labeled A, B and C. Each of the particles has only three quantum states of energies 5E, 10E and 15E. How many different configurations of this gas have a total energy of 30E?
c.Consider a hypothetical gas of three identical particles, each of which has only three quantum states of energies 3E, 6E and 9E. List all the different configurations of this gas that have a total energy of 18E assuming that the particles are (i) identical bosons and (ii) identical fermions.
d.Consider a hypothetical gas of four identical bosons, each of which has only four quantum states of energies E, 2E, 3E and 4E. Suppose the total energy of the gas is fixed at 12E. Determine the probability of finding all four particles in the same quantum state.

12. Cindy Szadokierski’s “interactive leadership” style has worked at United. A.. Describe her leadership style in a few words. b. Would this style work lead you and your peers in your current job? c. Why?
Cindy Szadokierski, United Airlines
Twenty-five years ago, Cindy Szadokierski quit her job teaching
high school French and went to work as a reservations agent for
United Airlines. Today, she is vice president in charge of
operations for United’s largest hub at O’Hare International
Airport.After joining the company, Szadokierski served in positions
of increasing responsibility, including being general manager of
United’s hub at Washington’s Dulles International Airport. From the
beginning of her career with United, Szadokierski wanted to be in
operations because she liked the idea of bridging the gap between
what goes on in the field and what happens at headquarters. At
O’Hare, where she oversees 4,000 employees and 600 flights a day,
her favorite times are the weekly afternoon walkabouts on the
O’Hare ramp and the weekly morning strolls through the terminal.
Why? Because they give her a chance to connect with employees and
customers. Pete McDonald, chief operating officer of United’s
parent, UAL Corporation, says there were serious operations
problems at O’Hare, so they put ‘‘the most communicative person’’
in the job. ‘‘She’s everywhere. She talks to everybody,’’ said Don
Wolfel, president of United’s mechanics union at
O’Hare.Szadokierski’s approach to leadership is more collaborative
than command-and-control. In addition to learning from employees
and customers, Szadokierski emphasizes regular meetings with her
leadership team to talk about what’s going right, what’s going
wrong, and how to collaboratively fix any problem
