A manager is applying the Transportation Model of linear programming to solve an aggregate planning problem. Demand in period 1 is 100 units, and in period 2, demand is 150 units. The manager has 125 hours of regular employment available for $10/hour each period. In addition, 50 hours of overtime are available for $15/hour each period. Holding costs are $2 per unit each period. a. How many hours of regular employment should be used in period 1? (Assume demand must be met in both periods 1 and 2 for the lowest possible cost and that production is 1 unit per hour.)

Answer:

125 (hours)

Explanation:

Remember, the Linear programming model is simply a technique used to optimize a particular set of processes.

Note the statement from the question, "the manager has 125 hours of regular employment available for $10/hour each period." Which means this would form part of the constraints of the linear programming model.

In other words, the number of total hours available in period 1 is 125 hours.

Entering foreign markets requires an analysis that examines each of the five major global entry strategies and their associated risks and rewards. It is important as a marketer that you understand the level of risk involved in each and also be able to identify which strategy firms are currently using.Firms looking to expand globally must address how they plan to enter international markets. Once a company has developed a marketing plan that involves global expansion, they have five major strategic options for how to enter the global marketplace: exporting, licensing, franchising, joint venture, and direct investment. Exporting is selling domestically produced products to foreign markets. Licensing is a legal process in which one firm pays to use or distribute another firm's resources. Franchising is a contractual arrangement in which the franchisor provides a franchisee the right to use its name and marketing and operational support in exchange for a fee and, typically, a share of the profits. In a joint venture, a domestic firm partners with a foreign company to create a new entity. Direct ownership requires a domestic firm to actively manage a foreign company or overseas facilities.Place the entry strategies (along with examples of each) in the correct order from least risky to most risky.Licensing - A legal process in which one firm pays to use or distribute another firm’s resources, including products, trademarks, patents, intellectual property, or other proprietary knowledge.KFC shares recipes and distribution information for 5 new KFC restaurants owned by local Saudi Arabian investors. Memphis Grizzlies gives logo and artwork to a Japanese company to sell Grizzlies' shirts locally.Exporting - Selling domestically produced products to foreign markets.Laske farms sells oranges and peaches grown in Florida to stores in Mexico. GM builds cars in U.S. and sells them to European buyers.Direct ownership - A method of entering an international market in which a domestic firm actively manages a foreign company or overseas facilities. Wendy's opens 29 new company-owned stores in Canada to test a new Frosty flavor. Wal-Mart builds 7 company-owned stores in China.Franchising - A contractual arrangement in which the franchisor provides a franchisee the right to use its name and marketing and operational support in exchange for a fee and, typically, a share of the profits.
