A pressure transducer regulates a climate control system in a factory. The transducer fails according to an exponential distribution with rate one failure every five years on average. For the pressure transducer mentioned above, use the failure rate function to estimate the likelihood that a transducer that has been operating for six years fails in the seventh year. How close is the approximation to the exact answer?

A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationshipbetween the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price = 150 − 0.01× Demand for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (i.e., perprinting) = RM50,000 and the variable cost per unit= RM40. a) Analyze what is the maximum profit that can be achieved if the maximum expected demand is 6,000 units per year. b) Compute what is the unit price at this point of optimal demand.
Vary the “Capacity” of Storage from 70 to 94 in increments of 4. For each capacity level, perform 30 simulations and report the overall mean service level for Purchase Requests. (Recall that we assume the bakery has adequate capacity to supply these various amounts to the store because we have set “Number of objects per arrival” to 200.) Also report the overall mean cycle time of simulated loaves in Storage. What level of inventory do you recommend to achieve a service level of .99?
