A variable that assumes an optimal value between its lower and upper bounds has a reduced cost value of zero. Why must this be true? (Hint: What if such a variable’s reduced cost value is not zero? What does this imply about the value of the objective function?)

- During the internship season m tech companies are looking to hire CS undergrads, each company has k number of available positions. There are also n CS undergrads, each interested in joining one of the companies. After all the interviews each company has rankings of students in order of preference, and each student has a ranking of companies in order of preference. We can assume that there are more internship slots available than the number of students. (This means that at the end not all slots will be filled.) Describe an algorithm that finds a stable assignment of students to companies. That is, each student will get assigned to one company and the resulting matching is stable. In your answer make sure to follow the guidelines of solving an algorithmic problem, as described above.arrow_forwardAn investment manager wants to determine an optimal portfolio for a wealthy client. The fund has $2.5 million to invest, and its objective is to maximize total dollar return from both growth and dividiends over the course of the coming year. The client has researched eight high-tech companies and wants the portfolio to consist of shares in these firms only. Three of the firms (S1-S3) are primarily software companies, three (H1-H3) are primarily hardware companies, and two (C1-C2) are internet consulting companies. The client has stipulated that no more than 40% of the investment be allocated to any one of these tree sectors. To assure diversification, at least $100,000 must be invested in each of the eight stocks. The table below gives estimates from the investment company's database relating to these stocks. These es- timates include the price per share, the projected annual growth rate in the share price, and the anticipated annual dividend payment per share.

- Clyde Clerk is reviewing his firm’s expense reimbursement policies with the new salesperson, Trav Farr. “Our reimbursement policies depend on the situation. You see, first we determine if it is a local trip. If it is, we only pay mileage of 45 cents a mile. If the trip was a one-day trip, we pay mileage and then check the times of departure and return. To be reimbursed for breakfast, you must leave by 7:00 A.M., lunch by 11:00 A.M., and have dinner by 5:00 P.M. To receive reimbursement for breakfast, you must return later than 10:00 A.M., lunch later than 2:00 P.M., and have dinner by 7:00 P.M. On a trip lasting more than one day, we allow hotel, taxi, and airfare, as well as meal allowances. The same times apply for meal expenses.” Draw a decision tree depicting the reimbursement policy in this Problem using LucidChart or Word documentarrow_forwardData collected on the yearly registrations for a Six Sigma seminar at the Quality College are shown in the following table: YEAR 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 REGISTRATIONS (000) 4 6 4 5 10 8 7 9 12 14 15 Develop a 3-year moving average to forecast registrations from year 4 to year 12. Estimate demand again for years 4 to 12 with a 3-year weighted moving average in which registrations in the most recent year are given a weight of 2, and registrations in the other 2 years are each given a weight of 1. Graph the original data and the two forecasts. Which of the two forecasting methods seems better?arrow_forwardAssume for convenience that demand is constant, the stock keeping unit (SKU) has been stored in k locations of identical size, and all picks are from a single active pick location until that location is exhausted. Then the inventory cycle may be imagined as consisting of k periods, each devoted to a particular pick location. The space utilization in period i is k-(i-1)-12/1 k-i+ k-(i-1) Thus, the average of the space utilization (ASU) of all k periods is asu= (1) The space utilization (SU) of the whole k periods is su = k = k i=1 2 k-i +1 i=1 k-i+ k-i +1 Σk-i+ i=1 k Σ(k-i+1) Use MATLAB® to write the functions to calculate "asu" and "su" of input "K". Employing these functions, program the script to draw the curves that show how both "asu" and "su" increase with additional storage locations, but at a diminishing rate.arrow_forward
- It has been observed by management that some faculty members at theuniversity demonstrate a lackadaisical attitude toward teaching. They seldom go to class yet at the end of each month they receive full salary. Management has decided that GHs 200, 300, 400, and 500 will be deducted from a faculty’s salary if he/she offends once, twice, third time and forth time respectively in a month. This means that if a faculty member offends once in a month GHs200 will be deducted, if a faculty member offends twice in a month, GHs 500 (i.e. 200+300) will be deducted, if a faculty member offends three times in a month GHs 900 (i.e. 200+300+400), will be deducted and if a faculty member offends four times in a month GHs 1,400 (i.e. 200+300+400+500). Assuming all faculty members are on a flat salary rate of GHs 2000.a.

(Hint: If this is not the case, then some orderquantity, such as 190 calendars, must maximize expectedprofit. If ordering 190 calendars maximizes expected profit,then it must yield a higher expected profit than an order sizeof 150. But then an order of 200 calendars must also yielda larger expected profit than 190 calendars. This contradictsthe assumed optimality of ordering 190 calendars!)arrow_forwardIsn't the actual optimal S->B->G. If yes, then how are the assumed heuristics valid?arrow_forward
