1. - [20 points) A machine is used to produce two interchangeable products. There are two possible settings of the machine: The daily capacity of the machine can produce at most 20 units of product 1 and at most 10 units of product 2 (M/C setting 1). Alternatively, the machine can be adjusted (M/C setting 2) to produce at most 12 units of product 1 and at most 25 units of product 2 daily. Market analysis shows that the maximum daily demand for the two products combined is 35 units. Given that the unit profits for the two respective products are $10 and $12, which of the two machine settings should be selected? Formulate an appropriate mathematical model (should not be nonlinear!) for the above problem.

1. (50 points) The stylish hair salon has three stylists who provide services to its customers. After checking in with the receptionist, the customer's hair is washed, dried, and styled. Each stylist has a different level of experience, so their service times differ from each other. Stylist 1 has an average service time of 20 minutes, Stylist 2 has an average service time of 40 minutes, and Stylist 3 has an average service time of 30 minutes, respectively. Suppose also that the service times are exponentially distributed and independent from each other. Let T be the service time of Stylist 1, Tz be the service time of Stylist 2, and T3 be the service time of Stylist 3 (please use this notation in your solutions). What is the rate of each Stylist to take care of their customers? Write down the rates as customers/minute as the unit. Write down also rates in terms of customers/hour as the unit. a) (10 points) A customer enters the hair salon and is being assigned to Stylist 2 since Stylist 2 is available.

1 50 points Wesco Incorporated's only product is a combination fertilizer/weedkiller called GrownWeed. GrownWeed is sold nationwide to retail nurseries and garden stores. Zwinger Nursery plans to sell a similar fertilizer/weedkiller compound through its regional nursery chain under its own private label. Zwinger does not have manufacturing facilities of its own, so it has asked Wesco (and several other companies) to submit a bid for manufacturing and delivering a 30,000-pound order of the private brand compound to Zwinger. While the chemical composition of the Zwinger compound differs from that of Grown Weed, the manufacturing processes are very similar. The Zwinger compound would be produced in 1.000-pound lots. Each lot would require 31 direct labor-hours and the following chemicals: - eBook Chanicals Quantity in Pounds References AG-5 KL-2 CN-7 DF-5 270 140 zie The first three chemicals (AG 5, KL 2, and CW-7) are all used in the production of GrownWeed. DF 6 was used in another compound that Wesco discontinued several months ago. The supply of DF 6 that Wesco had on hand when the other compound was discontinued was not discarded. Wesco could sell its supply of DF 6 at the prevailing market price less $0.12 per pound selling and handling expenses. Wesco also has on hand a chemical called BH-3, which was manufactured for use in another product that is no longer produced. BH-3, which cannot be used in GrownWeed, can be substituted for AG-5 on a one-for-one basis without affecting the quality of the Zwinger compound, The BH-3 in inventory has a salvage value of $560. Inventory and cost data for the chemicals that can be used to produce the Zwinger compound are shown below: Raw Material AG-5 KL-2 CN-7 Pounds in Inventory 29,800 4,900 8,960 Actual Price per Pound When Purchased $ 2.59 $ 2.29 5 1.32 Current Market Price per Pound $ 2.79 $ 1.52 MC Graw HI Estan Prev 1 of 1 !!!

The predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours (DLH). The predetermined overhead rate for the current year, based on a two-shift capacity with no overtime, is as follows: eBook Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Combined predetermined overhead rate $ 4.20 7.20 $11.40 per DLH per DLH per DLH References Wesco's production manager reports that the present equipment and facilities are adequate to manufacture the Zwinger compound. Therefore, the order would have no effect on total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. However, Wesco is within 130 hours of its two- shift capacity this month. Any additional hours beyond the 130 hours must be done in overtime. If need be, the Zwinger compound could be produced on regular time by shifting a portion of GrowNWeed production to overtime. Wesco's direct labor wage rate for overtime is $21 per hour. There is no allowance for any overtime premium in the predetermined overhead rate. Required: 1. Wesco has decided to submit a bid for the 30,000 pound order of Zwinger's new compound. The order must be delivered by the end of the current month. Zwinger has indicated that this is a one-time order that will not be repeated. Calculate the lowest price that Wesco could bid for the order and still exactly cover its incremental manufacturing costs.
