In which of the following stages are you more likely to find status reports, many changes, and the creation of forecasts?

Assume now that the WP decided to focus only on the production of papers.  Another firm (let’s call that firm “Ralph”) will be responsible for selling the papers to the customers. If the production cost of each paper is $0.25, the wholesale price (i.e., the price that the WP charges Ralph for each paper) is $0.6 the retail price is $1 and the daily demand is normally distributed with mean 500 and standard deviation of 10 then: What is the optimal quantity of papers that Ralph should stock (here is the Normal distribution table)?

Using the Quiz 1 Dataset, what is the IQR (interquartile range) for the average price per cup equivalent of fruit? The data is money. Round to the nearest cent.

Tarzan and Jane adopted a newborn monkey and called him Bongo. Unlike other monkeys, Bongo likes dried strawberries and consumes 20 strawberries per week. The nearest strawberry producer to Tarzan and Jane’s house (tree in fact) is far away. Tarzan and Jane estimate that they’ll have to use a day of their neighbor’s elephant every time they shop from that farmer. The neighbor charges them $40 for each trip. One strawberry costs $4. Jane also calculates the holding cost of 1 strawberry as $1 per week, because strawberries occupy a lot of place in their tree. Assume that Tarzan and Jane will never let Bongo be hungry (i.e., no backorders). P.S. In Tarzan’s forest, each week has 5 days.  When should Tarzan and Jane place an order (i.e., calculate the ROP)? 

Using the Quiz 1 Dataset, what is the median price per cup equivalent of fruit? The data is money. Round to the nearest cent.

Western National Bank is considering opening a drive‐through window for customer service. Management estimates that customers will arrive at the rate of 15 per hour. The teller who will staff the window can service customers at the rate of one every three minutes. Assume all times to be exponential.Calculate the average time that a customer spends in the queue (Wq).
