After plotting demand for four periods, an emergency room manager

After plotting demand for four periods, an emergency room manager
has concluded that a trend-adjusted exponential smoothing model is appropriate to predict future demand. The initial estimate of trend is based on the net change of 30 for the three periods from 1 to 4, for an average of +10 units.

A company manufactures a product using machine cells.

A company manufactures a product using machine cells. Each cell has
a design capacity of 250 units per day and an effective capacity of 230 units per day. At present, actual output averages 200 units per cell, but the manager estimates that productivity improvements soon will increase output to 223 units per day. Annual demand is currently 60,000 units. It is forecasted that within two years, annual demand will triple. How many cells should the company plan to acquire to satisfy predicted demand under these conditions? Assume that no cells currently exist. Assume 236 workdays per year.

Problem 5-6 a. Cost for Plan A $

Problem 5-6 a. Cost for Plan A $ ____________
A real estate agent is considering changing her cell phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. Plan A has a cost of $.43 a minute for daytime calls and $.18 a minute for evening calls. Plan B has a charge of $.53 a minute for daytime calls and $.15 a minute for evening calls. Plan C has a flat rate of $80 with 250 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.40 per minute beyond that, day or evening.

Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 140 minutes of day calls and 60 minutes of evening calls in a month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the “$” sign in your response.)

Cost for Plan B $ ____________

Cost for Plan C $ ____________

c.If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (Round each answer to the nearest whole number.Include the indifference point itself in each answer.)

Plan A is optimal from zero to___________ minutes. Plan C is optimal from ___________ minutes onward.

d.Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places. Omit the “%” sign in your response.)

Point ____________ percent daytime minutes
