Best Price in Town (BPT) is an electronics store in Ann Arbor. They are currently deciding how many units of a new digital camera, called Model Z, to order. Let Q denote this stock level choice. BPT has a single ordering opportunity for Model Z. Once Model Z arrives at BPT, it will be sold for three months, and then will be replaced by some future model. At the end of the three months, the leftover inventory for Model Z will have no value, and will be discarded. The total customer demand for Model Z over the next three months in Ann Arbor is a random variable, denoted by D. Let F denote the cumulative distribution function of D, and f the probability density function. Of all the customers in Ann Arbor who want to buy Model Z, only a fraction k will demand the product from BPT. The rest will go to other electronics stores. (For example, if D turns out to be 100 and k = 0.6. then the demand for Model Z at BPT will be 60.)The unit retail price of the camera is p, and the unit purchase price that BPT pays to the supplier of the camera is c.(a) Write an expression for the expected sales of Model Z at BPT for a given stock level choice Q, i. e., the expected number of Model Z's that BPT will sell in the next three months. (This expression should be detailed enough that if we knew BPT's stock level choice (Q). the fraction of total demand that BPT gets (k), the functions F and f, and had a tool at our disposal to evaluate integrals, then we could evaluate this expression.)(b) Using your answer to part (a), write an expression for the expected prot BPT will make from Model Z.(c) Using your answer to part (b), derive a relationship that needs to be satised by BPT's optimal stock level.

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
