You and your friends hike a total of 8 miles to the nearest campsite (Activity A). Upon arriving you break off into teams. One t

eam will set up tents and hammocks for everyone to sleep in (Activity B). At the same time, another team will get wood for a fire (Activity C). Once they have the wood, that same team then proceeds to start the fire (Activity D). The third team will walk to find water (Activity E) and once they find it they will to collect water and bring it back to camp (Activity F). Once the fire is ready and the water is brought back to camp the two groups- the one collecting firewood and the one collecting water- will then purify the water (Activity G). Once the camp is set up and the water is purified everyone will come together and cook dinner around the campfire (Activity H). Once dinner is prepared and eaten half of the group stays behind to put out the fire (Activity I) and half of the group walks away from the campsite to dispose of the food waste (Activity J). After disposing of the food waste the second half of the group returns to the camp (Activity K). Once everyone is at the campsite the day of camping ends

Answer:

a. The critical path is 16 minutes.

b. The length of time to complete the entire process = 23 minutes.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Activity                      Optimistic time   Most Likely Time   Pessimistic Time

                                    to complete         to Complete          to Complete

A Hike to the campsite       3                          5                          8

B Set up campsite               2                          4                          5

C Collect wood for fire        1                          3                          5

D Start a fire                         1                          2                          3

E Find water                        0.5                       1                           3

F Collect water & bring it

back to camp                       1                          2                          4

G Purify the water               1                          2                          4

H Cook and eat dinner       1                          3                          4

I Put out fire                         1                          2                         4

J Dispose of food waste    0.5                      2                          3

K Return from food

 waste disposal                0.25                     1                           2

Total time                         12.25                  27                          45

Critical path: Activity A - Activity B

                     Activity A - Activity C 3 - Activity D 2 - Activity E 1 - Activity F 2

Activity G 2 - Activity H 3 - Activity I and J 2 - Activity K 1

= 3 + 2 + 1 + 2+ 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 16 minutes

Length of time to complete the entire process = 27 - 4 = 23

The critical path identifies the longest stretch of dependent activities and measuring the time required to complete them from start to finish.

Operations, information, systems, and contingency management Modern management theorists recognize that multiple management appr
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Fiedler's theory and others like it are called contingency theories, and they imply that the most effective management technique gets adjusted to every situation, focusing on tasks as subunits strategy, as a contingency factor is unexpected.

Explanation:

A contingency theory is an organizational theory of the unexpected, out of control factors, so there is not a best way to lead or to make decisions, there is, instead, a contingency that cannot be accurately predicted, being motivation and leadership, two of many independent variables of the contingency theory, and productivity, turnover and absenteeism are some dependent variables, allowing managers to bend policies or override the if necessary when reacting to problems, and wide discretion in decision-making as the theory´s basis states that leader's relations impact their effectiveness.

Suppose that the weekly price of milk is $3.40 per gallon and MPEP decides to ramp up weekly advertising by 35 percent to $150 (
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Total Cost increase  5,253.4 unit

Explanation:

given data

weekly price a = $3.40 per gallon

ramp up weekly b = 35%

ramp up weekly  upto x = $150( in hundred)

solution

we will use here the regression equation that is

Y = a + b x    ...........................1

here Y is Total Cost and a is fixed cost and  

b is rate of variability and x is level of activity

so here put value in equation 1 we get

Total Cost Y = 3.40 + 0.35 × ( 15,000)

Total Cost  Y = 3.40 + 5,250

Total Cost increase  5,253.4 unit

A five-year project is expected to generate revenues of $120,000, variable costs of $72,000, and fixed costs of $20,000. The ann
Komok [63]

Answer: $21,880

Explanation:

First find the after tax operating income:

= (Revenues - variable costs - fixed costs - depreciation ) * ( 1 - tax rate)

= (120,000 - 72,000 - 20,000 - 10,00) * ( 1 - 34%)

= $11,880

Then add back depreciation because it is a non-cash expense:

Operating cashflow = 11,880 + 10,000

= $21,880
