A job evaluation plan provides for five labor grades, of which grade 5 has the highest base rates and grade 1 the lowest. The linear plan involves a range of 50 to 250 points for skill, 15 to 75 points for effort, 20 to 100 points for responsibility, and 15 to 75 points for job conditions. Each of the four factors has five degrees. Each labor grade has three money rates: a ‘low,’ a ‘mean,’ and a ‘high’ rate.
a) If the high money rate of labor grade 1 is $8 per hour and the high money rate of labor grade 5 is $20 per hour, what would be the mean money rate of labor grade 3?
b) What degree of skill is required for a labor grade of 4 if second-degree effort, second-degree responsibility, and first-degree job conditions apply?

What observed rotation is expected when a 1.62 M solution of (R)-2-butanol is mixed with an equal volume of a 0.810 M solution of racemic 2-butanol, and the resulting solution is analyzed in a sample container that is 1 dm long? The specific rotation of (R)-2-butanol is –13.9 degrees mL g–1 dm–1. The unit of the answer is in degree, NOT in degrees mL g–1 dm–1.

The ocean heats during the day by absorbing sunlight and then cools at night by emitting infrared radiation. Over 12 hours of daylight, you can assume the average energy input to the ocean is 700 W/m2. How hot must the ocean surface be to re-radiate that energy every day?
Note: although there is some dispute based on technical considerations we're not going to discuss here, the hottest surface temperature ever recorded on Earth was in Furnace Creek Ranch, Death Valley, California in 1913 of 330 K (56.7 C). If your answer is exceeding that, think about the problem again and redo the calculation.

a) The flow in a river can be modeled as a log-normal distribution. From the data, it was estimated that, the probability that the flow exceeds 855 cfs is 50% and the probability that it exceeds 100 cfs is 90%. Let X denote the flow in cfs in the river. Flood conditions occur when flow is 5000 cfs or above. To compute the percentage of time flood conditions occur for this river, we have to find, P(X≥5000)=1-P(Z<a). What is the value of a? Please report your answer in 3 decimal places.
b) What is the probability of P(Z<2.23)? Please report your answer in 3 decimal places.

The Bank of Seattle is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. From past experience, the bank knows that it needs the number of tellers shown in the table below at various times of the day.
The Bank of Seattle hires two types of tellers. Full-time tellers work 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., 5 days a week, with 1 hour off each day for lunch. The bank determines when a full-time employee takes his or her lunch hour, but each teller must go between 11 a.m. and noon, or noon and 1 p.m., or between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Full-time employees are paid $22 per hour, including a paid lunch hour.
The bank can also hire part time tellers. Each part-time teller works exactly 3 consecutive hours each day, the same time every day of the week. A part-time teller is paid $14 per hour. To maintain adequate quality of service, the bank has decided that at most 5 part-time tellers can be hired, and that at all times there must be at least 2 full-time tellers working for each part-time teller. Formulate (but not to solve) the problem as an LP in order to meet the bank’s teller requirements at the minimum cost.

1. TopGarment is a boutique store specializing in high-end female apparel. The store must decide on the quantity of silk scarfs to order from China for the upcoming holiday selling season, which will last 14 weeks. The unit cost of each scarf is c=$40, and the scarf is sold at p=$150. A local discount store agrees to buy any leftover scarfs at the end of the season for s=$30 each. The store manager forecasts the weekly demand to be normally distributed with a mean D=20 and a standard deviation of σD= 15.
a. What is the optimal ordering quantity for TopGarment if it has to stock all the inventory before the selling season starts? What is the optimal expected profit?
b. TopGarment worries that silk scarfs may not be appreciated by local customers. After negotiating with the supplier, the supplier commits on a lead time of 6 weeks. This allows TopGarment to place two orders, one at least 6 weeks before the season starts and another one at the end of week 1 after observing the sales of the first week. Thus, inventory ordered from the 2nd order will arrive right before week 8 and can fulfill the demand for week 8 to week 14.
(i) How much inventory should the store manager order for the 1st order? Note that the 1 st order only needs to cover the demand in weeks 1-7.
(ii) Due to the recent overwhelming workload, the store manager forgot to update her demand forecast by the end of week 1 and had to decide on the 2 nd order quantity based on her old forecast. How much inventory would she order? What is the total expected profit of the entire selling season? (You can assume that unmet demand in the first 7 weeks is lost, but leftover inventory from the 1st order can be carried over for sales in weeks 8-14.)
(iii) Fortunately, the product manager paid enough attention and did another forecast based on the sales data of week 1. She found that the demand for the product had less uncertainty than what the store manager initially thought. The new forecasted standard deviation of the weekly demand drops to 3, whereas the mean weekly demand stays at 20. The product manager reported the new forecasts to the store manager. Now, how much inventory should the store manager order for the 2nd order? What is the total expected profit of the entire selling season? (Again, unmet demand in the first 7 weeks is lost and leftover inventory from the 1st order will be carried over.)
