Lisa [10]

Answer:

the stock price after the acquisition is $37.30

Explanation:

The computation of the stock price after the acquisition is given below:

= Worth of combined synergy ÷ (outstanding shares = harrods shares)

= £194 million ÷ (4 million + 1.2 million)

= £194 million ÷ 5.2 million shares

= $37.30 per share

hence, the stock price after the acquisition is $37.30

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct answer could come

The bank is working to develop an efficient work schedule for full-time and part-time tellers. The schedule must provide for eff

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The solution is given below.

Explanation:

It is a practical, complex scheduling problem that can be easily modelled and solved as IP. Note that part time and full time employees are paid at different rates. So, it is important that the bank operates to provide required service level (indicated by the number of tellers per hour) while minimizing total cost due to staff salary.

We use x as full time and y as part time staff.

It would help if you construct a table as shown below to better analyze the problem before attempting to model it. Red shows work hrs of full time staff and green is for part timers. Just follow their work hour rules.

So, full timers have 3 options:

(i) start at 9 – work till 1pm, take 1 hr break, then work 2 – 5 pm

(ii) start at 10 – work till 2pm, take 1 hr break, then work 3 – 6 pm

(iii) start at 11 – work till 3pm, take 1 hr break, then work 4 – 7 pm

that’s all… bank closes at 7 pm.

However, part timers don’t have 1 hr break. They work straight 4 hrs and leave. See green cells above to understand their alternatives.

Now, decision variables should include this work hour information. Here goes their definition. You must clearly define decision variables in exam, otherwise, the model is meaningless.

X9 = number of full time staff who start at 9 and follow the hour-related rule (no need to specify more details; those are already undestood)

X10 = number of full time staff who start at 10 and follow the hour-related rule

X11 = number of full time staff who start at 11 and follow the hour-related rule

Y9 = number of part time staff who start at 9 and follow the hour-related rule

Y10 = number of part time staff who start at 10 and follow the hour-related rule

…. This way you define up to Y15.

You must also specify that:

Xi, Yi >=0, integers.

Objective Function:

Minimize Z = 105*(x9 + x10 + x11) + 32* (y9 + y10 + … + y 15)

You will need one “covering” constraint for each working hour. Both full and part-timers can “cover” the duty of each hour. Look at the color-coded table (above) column-wise. The 9:00-10:00 hour can be covered only by x9 and y9 staff; next hour by x9, x10, y9, y10 only,… and so on. So, the

constraints are: (attached with image)

Mark goes to Tony's Lumber Yard to buy some lumber to build a new roof for his cabin. Mark tells Tony, the lumber yard owner, to

musickatia [10]

Answer: Tony has explicitly breached the Implied Warranty of Fitness for a particular purpose.

Explanation: the Implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose takes effect when a buyer specifically asks a seller for a product that can be used for a particular purpose.

Because Mark (buyer) requested for the exact type of wood that can resist wood decay caused due to the damp environment of his cabin and Tony (seller) sells Mark lumber while assuring him that it's what he is looking for. Tony's assurance to Mark is known as the Implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, and since the wood is affected by dampness and caves then Tony has explicitly breached the warranty.
