An enterprising student has set up an internship clearinghouse for business students. Each student who uses the service fills ou

t a form and lists up to 13 companies that he or she would like to have contacted. The clearinghouse has a choice of two methods to use for processing the forms. The traditional method requires about 12 minutes to review the form and arrange the information in the proper order for processing. Once this setup is done, it takes only four minutes per company requested to complete the processing. The other alternative uses an optical scan/retrieve system, which takes only five minutes to prepare but requires four minutes per company for completing the processing.
If it costs about the same amount per minute for processing with either of the two methods, when should each be used?

Answer: See Explanation

Explanation:

Using the first method goes thus:

Form Processing = 12 minutes

Time taken to complete processing = 4 minutes

Total Time for processing will be:

= 12 + (4 × 13)

= 12 + 52

= 64 minutes

Method 2

Form Processing = 5 minutes

Time taken to complete processing = 4 minutes = 4 minutes

Total Time for processing will be:

= 5 + (4 × 13)

= 5 + 52

= 57 minutes

Hence method 2 is better because it's faster as it used a lesser time to process the compared to method 1.

Which of these situations would give rise to the free-rider problem? Items (6 items)
sveta [45]

Answer:

The answer is: letter c, a recycling program

Explanation:

A "free-rider" problem happens when <em>some members in the society don't contribute an equal share in the cost of a shared resource. </em>

Among the choices above, the recycling program will give rise to such situation. For example, when it comes to a recycling program of making a school's wall out of recycled bottles (in order to protect it from outsiders), not everyone will join the program yet, most of the time, the program is done for the good of the society. In this case, for the good of the school and the people visiting it.

This results to many free riders taking advantage of the school's wall, including the people who visits the school (parents, babysitters, friends, guardians etc.) and loiters in the area to pass time while waiting for their kids or friends

spayn [35]

Answer: The LP model is given as :

max: 1.180( 420000 A + 500000 B )

subject to : (a.) 7000 A + 2500 B ≤ 100000

(b.) 7000 A ≤ 70000

(c.) 2500 B ≤ 50000

Explanation:

Let us assume;

A be the no. of T.V spots

B be the no. of magazine spots

Given:

(a.) Mountain Mist earns a profit margin of $1.80 on each case of soda that it sells.

(b.) Each TV spot costs $7000 and is expected to increase sales by 420,000 cases.

(c.) Each magazine ad costs $2500 and is expected to increase sales by 500,000 cases.

∴ The objective function of this model will be given as :

max: 1.180( 420000 A + 500000 B )

(d.) A total of $100,000 may be spent on TV and magazine ads combined.

(e.) Mountain mist wants to spend no more than $70,000 on TV spots and no more than $50,000 on magazine ads.

∴ The subjective function will be :

(a.) 7000 A + 2500 B ≤ 100000

(b.) 7000 A ≤ 70000

(c.) 2500 B ≤ 50000

∴ The LP model is given as :

max: 1.180( 420000 A + 500000 B )

subject to : (a.) 7000 A + 2500 B ≤ 100000

(b.) 7000 A ≤ 70000

(c.) 2500 B ≤ 50000
