The Versatech Corporation has decided to produce three new products. Five branch plants now have excess product capacity. The un

it manufacturing cost of the first product would be 531, $29, $32, $28, and $29 in Plants 1, 2, 3,4, and 5, respectively. The unit manufacturing cost of the second product would be S45, S41, 546, $42, and $43 in Plants 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The unit manufacturing cost of the third product would be S38, S35, and $40 in Plants 1, 2, and 3, respectively, whereas Plants 4 and 5 do not have the capability for producing this product. Sales forecasts indicate that 600, 1,000, and 800 units of products 1, 2, and 3, respectively, should be produced per day. Plants 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 have the capacity to produce 400, 600, 400, 600, and 1,000 units daily, respectively, regardless of the product or combination of products involved. Assume that any plant having the capability and capacity to produce them can produce any combination of the products in any quantity. Management wishes to know how to allocate the new products to the plants to minimize total manufacturing cost. (a) Formulate this problem as a transportation problem by constructing the appropriate parameter table. (b) Obtain an optimal solution.

Answer:

A parameter table was constructed to show the transportation problem and to also obtain an optimal solution.

Explanation:

<u>Solution</u>

(a) the first step is to prepare  the problem as a transportation problem by establishing  the appropriate parameter table

                            1        2          3            Supply

Source    1           31      45      38             400

(Plant)      2          29     41       45             600

               3           32     46      40            400

               4           28     42      M              600

               5           29     43      M              1000

     Demand        600    1000  800

The total supply  is = 400 + 600 + 400+ 600+ 1000= 3000

Total demand is = 600 + 1000 + 800 = 2400

(b) since the problem given is an imbalanced transportation problem,to make it a balance transportation problem we will make use of what is called the dummy destination for this numbers 3000 - 2400 = 600

                  1        2          3                  4 (Dummy)      Supply

Source    1           31      45      38               0                   400

(Plant)      2          29     41       45               0                   600

               3           32     46      40               0                   400

               4           28     42      M                 0                   600

               5           29     43      M                 0                    100

Demand             600    1000  800          600

The positive independent number of  allocations is equal to m+n -1 = 5 + 4-1 =8

This solution is a basic feasible solution called a non -degenerate

The cost of initial transportation is he initial transportation cost=31*400+29*200+41*400+46*400+42*200+M*400+M*400+0*600

=$61400+800M

Note: kindly find an attached document of the part of the solution of the work.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Danger of losing control, and the possibility of an inactive market and an attendant low stock price are potential disadvantages of going public.

Companies that seeks to sell its stock on different stock markets or other major public exchanges must meet and maintain numerous listing requirements. Failure to comply with these mandates on an ongoing basis could cause the stock to become delisted from the exchange. The chief purpose of these requirements is to increase market transparency in an effort to foster investor confidence.

Usually, price elasticities of supply areA) positive, because higher prices yield larger quantities supplied.B) considered short
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

A) Positive, because higher prices yield larger quantities supplied.

Explanation:

The correct answer to the question is A) Positive, because higher prices yield larger quantities supplied. The price elasticity of supply determines the change in price as a response to the change in supply of the good or service supplied. This is usually calculated in a figure that determines that if price increases what will be the impact on its supply, which usually is a positive figure.

An analyst needs to adjust the nominal GDP for the years 2000 and 2010 into real terms to conclude his comparison analysis. The
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The answer is: the real gain in real GDP between 2010 and 2000 is 18.34%

Explanation:

First we have to determine the real GDP using the GDP deflator.

GDP deflator = (nominal GDP / real GDP) x 100

For year 2000:

24 = ($672 billion / real GDP ) x 100

2,400 = $672 billion / real GDP

real GDP = $0.28 billion

For year 2010:

51 = ($1,690 billion / real GDP ) x 100

5,100 = $1,690 billion / real GDP

real GDP = $0.331 billion

To calculate the real gain between real GDP from year 2000 to year 2010, we divide real GDP 2010 over real GDP 2000 and subtract 1:

($0.331 billion / $0.28 billion) -1 = 0.1834 x 100% = 18.34%
