Part 2 of 8 – Part 2
The next two questions are based on
the following information.
Paul wants to choose one of the two investment opportunities over three
possible scenarios. Investment 1 will yield a return of $10,000 in Scenario 1,

to be dollars in order to make Paul
indifferent between these two investments (i.e. the two investments would have
the same EMV.) (Please only enter an integer and include no units.)
Part 4 of 8 – Part 4
The next three questions are based
on the following information.
A grocery store needs to sell 3,000 cartons of 2L 2% milk per month. The
sales is relatively constant throughout the month. The owner of this grocery
store purchases milk from a supplier 50 miles away for $2 per carton, and it
takes a day to restock. The holding cost per carton per month is $1.5, and
the ordering cost per order is about $18.5 including labor, gas and
depreciation. Consider a month of 30 days.
Question 1 of 3
The
optimal order quantity is about cartons of milk, and the
average inventory is about cartons. (Please round to the closest
integer and include no units.)

Part 6 of 8 – Part 6
The next three
questions are based on the following information.
The Low Knock
Oil Company produces two grades of cut-rate gasoline for industrial
distribution. The grades, regular and economy, are produced by refining a blend
of two types of crude oil, type X100 and type X220. Each crude oil differs not
only in cost per barrel, but in composition as well. The following table
indicates the percentage of crucial ingredients found in each of the crude oils
and the cost per barrel for each:
CRUDE
OIL TYPE
INGREDIENT
A (%)
INGREDIENT
B (%)
COST/BARREL
($)
X100
35
55
30.00
X220
60
25
34.80
Weekly demand
for the regular grade of Low Knock gasoline is at least 25,000 barrels, and
demand for the economy is at least 32,000 barrels per week. At least 45% of
each barrel of regular must be ingredient A. At most 50% of each barrel of
economy should contain ingredient B. While the gasoline yield from one barrel
of crude depends on the type of crude and the type of processing used, we will
assume for the sake of this example that one barrel of crude oil will yield
0.46 barrel of gasoline.
Hint: You may
refer to the Low Knock Oil Company example analyzed on page 326-327 in the
textbook (Program 8.9), and simply adjust your constraints for the demands
accordingly.
Question 1 of 3
3.0 Points
At the optimal production, does
the company just make enough regular gasoline to meet the demand? Does
the company just make enough economy gasoline to meet the demand?
A.Yes, yes
B.Yes, no
C.No, yes
D.No, no
