Answer:

Top 5 industries in Houston:

  1. Petroleum and coal products.
  2. Chemicals.
  3. Oil and Gas extraction.
  4. Construction and Mining machinery.
  5. Plastics.

Other sectors supported by Energy sector.

  • Real Estate - oil workers are able to rent and buy houses.
  • Finance and Insurance -  due to investments in the Energy industry as well as salaries enabling investments in other finance products.
  • Retail Trade - Employees in energy are able to afford goods and services offered by retail trade thereby supporting the sector.
  • Government - Huge taxes generated from energy sector jobs contribute to both the Federal and State governments.
  • Agriculture - As is the case in other sectors, energy sector employees spend a lot on food which props up the agricultural sector.
  • Construction - With the massive construction projects needed in the energy sector, the construction sector gains massively from interacting with the energy sector.

Question Suppose you have $200,000 in a bank term account. You earn 5% interest per annum from this account. You anticipate that
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Deposited amount will decrease by 1% and $2,000

Explanation:

Inflation rate will effect the value of money due to decrease in purchasing power of the currency holder.

We will use following formula to calculate the impact

Nominal rate = Real interest rate + Inflation rate

5% = Real interest rate + 6%

Real interest rate = 5% - 6% = -1%

The deposited amount will be decreased by 1%.

Deposit value = $200,000 x ( 1 - 1% ) = $198,000

Decrease in value = $200,000 - $198,000 = $2,000

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)
