Question 2 In an unbalanced transportation model, supply does not equal demand and one set of constraints uses ? signs. Question 3 Adjusted exponential smoothing is an exponential smoothing forecast adjusted for seasonality. Question 4 If we are solving a 0-1 integer programming problem, the constraint x1 = x2 is a conditional constraint. Question 5 In a total integer model, all decision variables have integer solution values. Question 6

  2. Validation of a simulation model occurs when the true steady state average results have been reached. Question 7 A business owner is trying to decide whether to buy, rent, or lease office space and has constructed the following payoff table based on whether business is brisk or slow. The conservative (maximin) strategy is: Question 8 Events that cannot occur at the same time in any trial of an experiment are: Question 9 Using the minimax regret criterion to make a decision, you Question 10 A business owner is trying to decide whether to buy, rent, or lease office space and has constructed the following payoff table based on whether business is brisk or slow. If the probability of brisk business is .40 and for slow business is .60, the expected value of perfect information is: Question 11 Using the maximin criterion to make a decision, you Question 12 Steinmetz furniture buys 2 products for resale: big shelves (B) and medium shelves (M). Each big shelf costs $100 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space, and each medium shelf costs $50 and requires 80 cubic feet of storage space. The company has $25000 to invest in shelves this week, and the warehouse has 18000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each big shelf is $85 and for each medium shelf is $75.In order to maximize profit, how many big shelves (B) and how many medium shelves (M) should be purchased? Question 13 Steinmetz furniture buys 2 products for resale: big shelves (B) and medium shelves (M). Each big shelf costs $100 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space, and each medium shelf costs $50 and requires 80 cubic feet of storage space. The company has $25000 to invest in shelves this week, and the

  3. warehouse has 18000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each big shelf is $85 and for each medium shelf is $75. What is the constraint on money to invest? Question 14 For a maximization problem, assume that a constraint is binding. If the original amount of a resource is 4 lbs., and the range of feasibility (sensitivity range) for this constraint is from 3 lbs. to 6 lbs., increasing the amount of this resource by 1 lb. will result in the: Question 15 The following is an Excel “Answer” and “Sensitivity” reports of a linear programming problem: The Answer Report: The Sensitivity Report: Which additional resources would you recommend to be increased? Question 16 In a portfolio problem, X1, X2, and X3 represent the number of shares purchased of stocks 1, 2, an 3 which have selling prices of $15, $47.25, and $110, respectively. The investor has up to $50,000 to invest. An appropriate part of the model would be Question 17 The owner of Black Angus Ranch is trying to determine the correct mix of two types of beef feed, A and B which cost 50 cents and 75 cents per pound, respectively. Five essential ingredients are contained in the feed, shown in the table below. The table also shows the minimum daily requirements of each ingredient. Minimum daily requirement (pounds) 30 50 20 60 40 Ingredient Percent per pound in Feed A Percent per pound in Feed B 1 2 3 4 5 20 30 0 24 10 24 10 30 15 20 The constraint for ingredient 3 is: Question 18 If we are solving a 0-1 integer programming problem, the constraint x1 = x2 is a __________ constraint. Question 19

Write a constraint to ensure that if machine 4 is used, machine 1 will not be used. Question 20 The assignment problem constraint x31+x32+x33+x34 ? 2 means Question 21 A professor needs help from 3 student helpers to complete 4 tasks. The first task is grading; the second is scanning; the third is copying, and the fourth is organizing student portfolios. The estimated time for each student to do each task is given in the matrix below. Which of the following constraints represents the assignment for student A? Question 22 Assume that it takes a college student an average of 5 minutes to find a parking spot in the main parking lot. Assume also that this time is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. What percentage of the students will take between 2 and 6 minutes to find a parking spot in the main parking lot? Question 23 Professor Truman would like to assign grades such that 10% of students receive As. If the exam average is 62 with a standard deviation of 13, what grade should be the cutoff for an A? (Round your answer.) Question 24 A bakery is considering hiring another clerk to better serve customers. To help with this decision, records were kept to determine how many customers arrived in 10-minute intervals. Based on 100 ten-minute intervals, the following probability distribution and random number assignments developed. Number of Arrivals 6 7 8 9 10 Probability .1 .3 .3 .2 .1 Random numbers .01 – .10 .11 – .40 .41 – .70 .71 – .90 .91 – .00 Suppose the next three random numbers were .18, .89 and .67. How many customers would have arrived during this 30-minute period? Question 25

  5. For the following frequency distribution of demand, the random number 0.8177 would be interpreted as a demand of: Question 26 Consider the following graph of sales. Which of the following characteristics is exhibited by the data? Question 27 __________ moving averages react more slowly to recent demand changes than do __________ moving averages. Question 28 Carter’s Bed & Breakfast breaks even every month if they book 30 rooms over the course of a month. Their fixed cost is $1050 per month and the revenue they receive from each booked room is $150. What is the variable cost per occupied room? (Note: The answer is a whole dollar amount. Give the answer as a whole number, omitting the decimal point. For instance, use 105 to write $105.00). Question 29 Ford’s Bed & Breakfast breaks even if they sell 50 rooms each month. They have a fixed cost of $6500 per month. The variable cost per room is $30. For this model to work, what must be the revenue per room? (Note: The answer is a whole dollar amount. Give the answer as a whole number, omitting the decimal point. For instance, use 105 to write $105.00). Question 30 Students are organizing a “Battle of the Bands” contest. They know that at least 100 people will attend. The rental fee for the hall is $200 and the winning band will receive $500. In order to guarantee that they break even, how much should they charge for each ticket? (Note: Write your answer with two significant places after the decimal and do not include the dollar “$” sign. For instance, for five dollars, write your answer as 5.00). Question 31 Consider the following linear program, which maximizes profit for two products, regular (R), and super (S): MAX

Write your answers with two significant places after the decimal and do not include the dollar “$” sign. Question 32 Tracksaws, Inc. makes tractors and lawn mowers. The firm makes a profit of $30 on each tractor and $30 on each lawn mower, and they sell all they can produce. The time requirements in the machine shop, fabrication, and tractor assembly are given in the table.
