The next two questions are based on the following information. 

Paul wants to choose one of the two investment opportunities over three possible scenarios. Investment 1 will yield a return of $10,000 in Scenario 1, $2,000 in Scenario 2, and a negative return of -$5,000 in Scenario 3. Investment 2 will yield a return of $6,000 in Scenario 1, $4,000 in Scenario 2, and zero in Scenario 3. The probability for Scenario 1 is 0.2, for Scenario 2 is 0.3, and for Scenario 3 is 0.5.

Part 4 of 8 - Part 4

The next three questions are based on the following information. 

A grocery store needs to sell 3,000 cartons of 2L 2% milk per month. The sales is relatively constant throughout the month. The owner of this grocery store purchases milk from a supplier 50 miles away for $2 per carton, and it takes a day to restock. The holding cost per carton per month is $1.5, and the ordering cost per order is about $18.5 including labor, gas and depreciation. Consider a month of 30 days.

 

Question 1 of 3

The optimal order quantity is about cartons of milk, and the average inventory is about cartons. (Please round to the closest integer and include no units.)

Part 5 of 8 - Part 5

The next two questions are based on the following information. 

A cafeteria wants to introduce a new burger, with bread and beef together weighing at least 1 ounce. The cafeteria manage also wants the new burger to meet a new nutrition standard, i.e. contains at least 7 units of Vitamin A and 10 units of Vitamin B. Each ounce of beef contains 1 unit Vitamin A and 6 units of Vitamin B, while each ounce of bread contains 2 units Vitamin A and 1 units of Vitamin B. The price of beef is $0.5 per ounce and the price of bread is $0.1 per ounce. 

 

Question 1 of 2

Part 6 of 8 - Part 6

The next three questions are based on the following information.

The Low Knock Oil Company produces two grades of cut-rate gasoline for industrial distribution. The grades, regular and economy, are produced by refining a blend of two types of crude oil, type X100 and type X220. Each crude oil differs not only in cost per barrel, but in composition as well. The following table indicates the percentage of crucial ingredients found in each of the crude oils and the cost per barrel for each:

CRUDE OIL TYPE

INGREDIENT A (%)

INGREDIENT B (%)

COST/BARREL ($)

X100

35

55

30.00

X220

60

25

34.80

Weekly demand for the regular grade of Low Knock gasoline is at least 25,000 barrels, and demand for the economy is at least 32,000 barrels per week. At least 45% of each barrel of regular must be ingredient A. At most 50% of each barrel of economy should contain ingredient B. While the gasoline yield from one barrel of crude depends on the type of crude and the type of processing used, we will assume for the sake of this example that one barrel of crude oil will yield 0.46 barrel of gasoline.

Hint: You may refer to the Low Knock Oil Company example analyzed on page 326-327 in the textbook (Program 8.9), and simply adjust your constraints for the demands accordingly.

 

Question 1 of 3

3.0 Points

At the optimal production, does the company just make enough regular gasoline to meet the demand? Does the company just make enough economy gasoline to meet the demand?

 

 

A.Yes, yes

C.No, yes

 

D.No, no
