If Eye-Full makes a profit on $150 on each scope, $220 on each pair of binocs, and $300 on each microscope, how many of each should the company manufacture each day?

linear programming

Make a sketch of the feasibility region defined by the following constraints. Label the edges of the region with numbers; label the extrema with letters. Find and present the coordinates of the extrema. Assume that x and y are both equal to or greater than zero.

Version B: 2y<=2x, 2x+3y<=15, 3y>=x, x>=1

2. The constraints on a particular manufacturing process are shown on the right. The extrema of the feasibility region have been calculated and plotted.

Using the profit function given below, calculate the profit (value of P) at each extrema.

P=x+2y

At which extremum is the profit the maximum? The minimum? (A negative profit is a loss. The minimum profit is either the smallest positive profit, or the largest loss.)

3. Eye-Full Optics assembles astronomical telescopes (x), premium binoculars (y) and student-grade microscopes (z) from imported parts. Each telescope takes one hour to assemble, each pair of binoculars two hours, and each microscope three hours; the availability of skilled labor limits assembly work to 1000 hours per day. Eye-Full has a contract with FedEx, and must ship no less than 400 items per day. A contract with a major retailer requires them to deliver a minimum of 100 telescopes, 250 binocs, and 50 microscopes per day. But there are supply limitations. The telescopes and binocs are shipped with the same eyepieces; each scope has one, and each pair of binocs has two. The subcontractor who supplies the eyepieces can only furnish 800 per day. Similarly, both the binocs and the microscopes use the same prisms; each pair of binocs needs two, and each microscope needs four. The prism supplier can only ship Eye-Full 1600 per day.

If Eye-Full makes a profit on $150 on each scope, $220 on each pair of binocs, and $300 on each microscope, how many of each should the company manufacture each day? What is its daily profit?

(Since the feasibility region is a volume in three-dimensional space, a sketch is not required.)

(HINT: Use an online app to solve Problem 3. Submit a screen shot of the output, plus an explanation.)

Please read and heed the hints given in Cases 1, 2, and 3. The same general advice is applicable in this Case, in particular:

Read the source materials before beginning.
The Case is about linear programming, not the wider topic of production planning.
Follow standard format. A cover page, a short discussion, references and citations are all required.
In case you missed it: Use an application to work out Problem 3. Insert a screen shot of the output. Be sure to provide a reference and a citation for the app you use.

Assignment Expectations

Graphics must be neat, clear and complete. A graphics app can be used, but a freehand sketch is also acceptable.
All calculations should be shown.
All answers must be clearly stated.
Relevant theory should be cited as necessary to explain which procedures were used to arrive at the answers, and why.
Follow the instructions in the BSBA Writing Style Guide (July 2014 edition), available online at https://mytlc.trident.edu/files/Writing-Guide_Trident_2014.pdf.
There are no guidelines concerning length. Write what you need to write – neither more, nor less.
Clearly demonstrate your understanding of both the theory covered in the Module, and the particulars of the Case.
Provide references and citations. At a minimum, you should reference the course materials. These are referenced in APA format on the Background Info page.

If no action is taken far in advance of the forecasted car congestion, what do you foresee will happen?

collaboration technologies and IT infrastructures

To support communications and collaboration, organizations make use of the IT architecture, which is defined by looking at different components. To afford communications, it is required that an IT infrastructure of people, hardware, software, and networks be in place. While there is a global culture of communications and collaboration, different countries have preferences how they attain communications and group cooperation. Similarly, groupware technology is more preferred in high performing companies than low performing ones.

Components of IT A

IT Architecture Components

Type of Architecture	Description
Business architecture	The processes the business uses to meet its goals.
Application architecture	How specific applications are designed and how they interact with each other.
Data architecture	How an enterprise’s data stores are organized and accessed.
Technical architecture	The hardware and software infrastructure that supports applications and their interactions.

Case Assignment

For Case 3, you will analyze the traffic gridlock case. Taking communication and collaboration into the next 20 years, Ford Motors has a vision to develop cars that rely on a network of communication systems. In the long term, Ford sees a radically different transportation landscape where pedestrians, bicycles, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic will be woven into a single mobile network to save time, conserve resources, lower CO2 emissions, and improve safety.

Explain the concept of connected cars.
Why does Bill Ford see a need for connected cars?
What does Ford mean by “global gridlock”?
Brainstorm a few other ways in which an IT network could help to reduce global gridlock. Do not limit yourself to current mobile network capabilities.
If no action is taken far in advance of the forecasted car congestion, what do you foresee will happen?

Assignment Expectations

The Case should be 4-5 pages for each case in total, excluding cover page and reference list.

Your assignments will be graded following these expectations:

Precision: The questions asked are answered.
Clarity: Your responses are clear and show your good understanding of the topic.
Breadth and depth: The scope covered in your paper is directly related to the questions of the assignment and the learning objectives of the module.
Critical Thinking: It is important to read the “required readings” posted in the background material plus others you find relevant. Your paper should include relevant concepts from these readings and incorporate your reactions and examples that illustrate your reflective judgment and good understanding of the concepts.
Your paper meets the page requirements not counting the cover page or the references pages.

Explain what can happen when children do not engage in healthy fitness activities. Be sure to consider the impact on children of being overweight or obese, including implications for health and self-esteem.

Section 5: Physical Fitness

As you have been learning, your knowledge about the nutritional and fitness needs of children will have the greatest impact when you can share this knowledge in order to help children and their families grow in awareness of and commitment to healthy behaviors and lifestyles. For your blog section this week, prepare a 2-page fact sheet to inform both early childhood professionals and families about the essential aspects of physical fitness for preschool-age children. Use the following guidelines:

Write an introductory paragraph or at least five bullet points that explain why physical fitness is so important for young children. Include at least three developmental skills that children are learning at this age, and describe how physical activities can help children toward mastery of these skills. Be sure to cite evidence from the learning resources or, if desired, use other resources to support your claims.

Explain what can happen when children do not engage in healthy fitness activities. Be sure to consider the impact on children of being overweight or obese, including implications for health and self-esteem.
Indicate how adults can help children develop good fitness habits. Describe at least two activities, such as specific games or movements, which are appropriate and enjoyable for children of this age. At least one of the activities should involve gross-motor (locomotor) skills, and another should involve fine-motor (manipulative) skills. Remember, the activities you recommend should be developmentally appropriate, which includes noncompetitive.
Based on your readings, include at least one inspirational, thought-provoking quote that captures your attitude and/or philosophy about fostering children’s healthy growth and development.
For your fact sheet, draw on the information in the fitness articles from this week’s Required Resources and your own research to provide evidence about the positive impact that physical activity has on children’s health, both now and in the future. Be sure to cite your sources.
