1. Define the terms management science and operations research. <\/p>\n
2. List and discuss the steps of the decision-making process. <\/p>\n
3. Discuss the different roles played by the qualitative and quantitative approaches to managerial decision making. Why is it important for a manager or decision maker to have a good understanding of both of these approaches to decision making?<\/p>\n
4. The O\u2019Neill Shoe Manufacturing Company will produce a special-style shoe if the order size is large enough to provide a reasonable profit. For each special-style order, the company incurs a fixed cost of $2000 for the production setup. The variable cost is $60 per pair, and each pair sells for $80.<\/p>\n
a. Let x indicate the number of pairs of shoes produced. Develop a mathematical model for the total cost of producing x pairs of shoes.<\/p>\n
b. Let P indicate the total profit. Develop a mathematical model for the total profit realized from an order for x pairs of shoes.<\/p>\n
c. What is the breakeven point?<\/p>\n
