Universal Mines Inc. operates three mines in West Virginia. The ore from each mine is separated into two grades before it is shi

pped. The daily production capacities of the three mines, as well as their daily operating costs, are as follows: c/day Mine High-grade Ore, Low-grade Ore, Operating Cost Tons/day Tons/day in $/day 20,000 22,000 18,000 Mine 11 Mine III Universal has committed itself to deliver 54 tons of high-grade order and 65 tons of low-grade ore by the end of the week. Universal can run its mines seven days a week if required. Determine the number of days each mine should be operated during the upcoming week if Universal Mines is to fulfill its commitment at the minimum total cost. Round the answers to two decimal places.
a. The number of days Mine I should operate = _________days
b. The number of days Mine Il should operate = _________days
c. The number of days Mine III should operate = _________days
d. The total cost of the operation for next week = $ ________

Answer:

this is a cost minimization problem, but it is missing some numbers, so I looked for similar questions (see attached PDF):

minimization equation = 20x₁ + 22x₂ + 18x₃ (costs per ton)

where:

x₁ = mine I

x₂ = mine II

x₃ = mine III

the constraints are:

4x₁ + 6x₂ + x₃ ≥ 54 (high grade ore)

4x₁ + 4x₂ + 6x₃ ≥ 65 (low grade ore)

x₁, x₂, x₃ ≤ 7 (only 7 days per week)  

using solver, the optimal solution is

2x₁, 7x₂, and 5x₃

a. The number of days Mine I should operate = <u>2 days </u>

b. The number of days Mine Il should operate = <u>7 days </u>

c. The number of days Mine III should operate = <u>5 days </u>

d. The total cost of the operation for next week = <u>$284,000</u>

According to Walter Shewhart:_______
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

c) the mean, upper control limit, lower control limit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart.

Explanation:

Walter Shewhart is regarded as an important personality in the history of quality management. He asserted that the behavior of real processes had the tendency to change as time changed and it was not the behaviur of theoretical random distributions.

Walter Shewhart posited that causes of variation could be divided into two which are chance cause and assignable cause. He maintained that chance causes could be ignored if they did not cause too much variation, and any attempt to eliminate them usually made the problem worse. He however posited that it was possible to fix assignable causes.

Walter Shewhart invented control chart in order to differentiate between variations caused by random events and trends that indicated assignable causes. There is time and a plot of sample measurements on the bottom axis of a control chart. The mean, upper control limit, lower control limit, and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines.

Based on the above explanatio, the correct option is c) the mean, upper control limit, lower control limit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart.

 Interest for  2021 = Principal x Rate x Time

= $20,000 X 6% x 1/ 12 ( From 1st t0 31st December is 1 Month)

=$100

Journal to record accrued interest by  Davenport Company

Date                          Accounts Titles                          Debit         Credit

Dec 31st, 2021               Interest Receivable               $100

                                   Interest Revenue                                         $100

Therefore, the interest revenue the company will  recognize during 2021 is $100.
