- The Fish House (TFH) in Norfolk, Virginia, sells fresh fish and seafood. TFH receives daily shipments of farm-raised trout from a nearby supplier. Each trout costs $2.45 and is sold for $3.95. To maintain its reputation for freshness, at the end of the day TFH sells any leftover trout to a local pet food manufacturer for $1.25 each. The owner of TFH wants to determine how many trout to order each day. Historically, the daily demand for trout is: Demand 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Probability 0.02 0.06 0.09 0.11 0.13 0.15 0.18 0.11 0.07 0.05 0.03 a. Construct a payoff matrix for this problem. b. How much should the owner of TFH be willing to pay to obtain a demand forecast that is 100% accurate? give a clear explanation for (b)Combined-cycle power plants use two combustion turbines to produce electricity. Heat from the first turbine’s exhaust is captured to heat waterand produce steam sent to a second steam turbine that generates additional electricity. A 968-megawatt combined-cycle gas fired plant can be purchased for $450 million, has no salvage value, and produces a net cash flow(revenues less expenses) of $50 million per year over its expected 30-year life. Solve, a. If the hurdle rate (MARR) is 12% per year, how profitable an investment is this power plant? b. What is the simple payback period for the plant? Is this investment acceptable?Andy Mendoza makes handcrafted dolls, which he sells at craft fairs. He is considering mass producing the dolls to sell in stores. He estimates that the initial investment for plant and equipment will be $10,000, while labor, material, packaging, and shipping will be about $8 per doll. He has determined that monthly sales volume is related to price, according to the following equation: v=5000-90p. Develop the nonlinear profit function as a function of price.
- Long-Life Insurance has developed a linear model that it uses to determine the amount of term life Insurance a family of four should have, based on the current age of the head of the household. The equation is: y=150 -0.10x where y= Insurance needed ($000) x = Current age of head of household b. Use the equation to determine the amount of term life Insurance to recommend for a family of four of the head of the household is 40 years old. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

A portion of the network is as follows: Due to the varying pipe sizes, the flow capacities vary. By selectively opening and closing sections of the pipeline network, the firm can supply any of the storage locations. a. If the firm wants to fully utilize the system capacity to supply storage location 7, how long will it take to satisfy a location 7 demand of 100,000 gallons? What is the maximal flow for this pipeline system? b. If a break occurs on line 2–3 and that line is closed down, what is the maximal flow for the system? How long will it take to transmit 100,000 gallons to location 7?Valencia Products makes automobile radar detectors and assembles two models: LaserStop and SpeedBuster.
