Suppose that a lumberyard has a supply of 10-ft boards, which are cut into 3-ft, 4-ft, and 5-ft boards according to customer dem

and. The 10-ft boards can be cut into several sensible patterns. each in such a way that there the leftover material is less than 3-ft. The lumberyard just received an order for 90 3-ft boards, 60 4-ft boards. and 60 5-ft boards. a. Determine all sensible patterns the lumberyard may use to cut the 10-ft boards.b. The lumberyard would like to use as few 10-ft boards as possible in meeting the demand. Write out a mathematical formulation for the problem as an integer linear program ILP), and setup/solve this problem using Microsoft Excel solver. What is the optimal number of each pattern, and what is the minimum number of boards to cut?

Answer :

Some answers are attached below

Explanation:

a) Based on the information provided, below are the all possible sensible patterns the lumberyard may use to cut the 10-ft boards -

Pattern Number 3-ft boards 4-ft boards 5-ft boards Waste (<3-ft)

1                      3                   0                     0                       1                                                                        

2                                2                 1                          0                      0

3                             1                    0                           1                       2            

4                                 0                     1                          1                        1

5                           0                      2                           0                       2                  

6                      0                     0                            2                     0      

b) ILP Formulation

Objective Function

Minimize Number of 10 ft-boards to be cut

Z = x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6 where xi is the number of boards for pattern i

subject to constraints -

3x1+2x2+x3>=90 ----> 3-ft boards

x2+x4+2x5>=60 ----->4-ft boards

x3+x4+2x6>=60 ----->5-ft boards

Xi>=0 ---->Non-negativity constraint

Below is the excel solver formulation and solution -

The optimal number of Pattern 1,5,6 =0, Pattern 2,3 and 4 = 30

The minimum number of 10 ft-boards to be cut = 90

A local transit authority charges​ $1 for a bus ride. An economics study suggests that in the price range from​ $0.50 to​ $1.50,
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

To increase its revenue, transit authority should lower the fare.

Explanation:

The 'elasticity of demand' measures the change in consumers response in quantity he demands as a result of the change in price, other factors remaining same.

A product is called elastic if with the increase or decrease in price, there is a drastic change in the quantity demand of the product. If the transit authority will lower its fare, then their revenue will increase as the elasticity of demand for bus trip is 1.2. By lowering the fare, the demand would increase and their revenue will increase.

1. You have a portfolio that is invested 21% in Stock A, 34% in Stock B, and 45% in Stock C. The betas of the stocks are .66, 1.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

1.

Portfolio Beta = 1.225 rounded off to 1.23

Option e is the correct answer.

2.

r = 0.13338 or 13.338% rounded off to 13.34%

Explanation:

1.

The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta of a portfolio, we use the following formula,

Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A  +  wB * Beta of B  + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w is the weight of each stock

Portfolio Beta = 0.21 * 0.66  +  0.34 * 1.21  +  0.45 * 1.5

Portfolio Beta = 1.225 rounded off to 1.23

2.

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.

The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate

rM is the market return

r = 0.037  +  1.22 * (0.116 - 0.037)

r = 0.13338 or 13.338% rounded off to 13.34%

Catherine works for BluCorp, which has an employee handbook stating that employees will be terminated for good cause. Catherine'
adell [148]

Answer:

Contract

Explanation:

The reason is that the employee contract helps the employee to protect his rights and avoids the BluCorp to terminate the employee without any reason. So the employees act also safeguards the employee's rights and talks about the damages and the fines that will be imposed on the employer for terminating employees without any reasons.

Each extra worker produces an extra unit of output up to six workers. After six, no additional output is produced. Draw the tota
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

attached is the diagram

Explanation:

Each extra worker produces an extra unit of output, is said to be the marginal production of an extra worker employed

marginal production  :

change in total production / change in labor = ΔTp / ΔL

Average production = Tp / L

Tp = total production ,  L = number of labor

To draw the Total product of labor , average product labor and marginal product labor curves starting from zero labor

0 worker : Total product = 0, average product labor = 0 , marginal = 0

1 worker : Total product = 1, average product = 1 , marginal = 0

2 worker : Total product = 2, average product = 1, marginal = 1

3 workers: total product = 3 average product = 1, marginal = 1

4 workers: Total product = 4, average product = 1, marginal = 1

5 workers : Total product = 5 average product = 1, marginal = 1

6 workers : total product = 6 average product = 1 , marginal = 1

7 workers : total product = 7 , average product = 0.85, marginal = 0

8 workers : total product = 8, average product = 0.75 marginal = 0
