"ordinary" design, one with a two-color "fancy" design, and one with a three-color "very fancy" design. The club feels
that it can sell up to 400 T-shirts. "Ordinary" T-shirts will cost the club $6 each, "fancy" T-shirts $8 each, and "very
fancy" T-shirts $10 each, and the club has a total purchasing budget of $4,000. It will sell "ordinary" T-shirts at a profit
of $4 each, "fancy" T-shirts at a profit of $5 each, and "very fancy" T-shirts at a profit of $4 each. How many of each
kind of T-shirt should the club order to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit the club can make?

Kalamazoo Blooming Nursery is a small company specializing in selling flowers. They
developed a new product called Flowers of the Month in which they would send a
customer a different flower arrangement every month. KBN charged $52 a month

- The college graduates of 2000 could hardly have asked for better luck. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1 % in May 2000- roughly, the lowest level in a generation- and employers were literally scrambling for new hires. Starting salaries rose, many graduating seniors had numerous job offers, and some firms even offered $10,000- $20,000 bonuses to students who signed the dotted line. Three years later, the job market for the Class of 2003 was rather different. U.S. economic growth had slowed to a crawl, and then to a halt. Companies that had stocked up on recent college grads in the tighter labour markets of 1998-2000 found themselves with more than they knew what to do with in 2002 and 2003. They were not eager to hire more. Bonuses and other “perks” disappeared; job offers became scarcer. With the unemployment rate around 6% in May and June of 2003, the job market was far from the worst ever. But it was nothing like the glory days of 2000.

- Jean Clark is the manager of the Midtown Saveway Grocery Store. She now needs to replenish her supply of strawberries. Her regular supplier can provide as many cases as she wants. However, because these strawberries already are very ripe, she will need to sell them tomorrow and then discard any that remain unsold. Jean estimates that she will be able to sell 10, 11, 12, or 13 cases tomorrow. She can purchase the strawberries for $3 per case and sell them for $8 per case. Jean now needs to decide how many cases to purchase. Jean has checked the store’s records on daily sales of strawberries. On this basis, she estimates that the prior probabilities are 0.2, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.1 for being able to sell 10, 11, 12, and 13 cases of strawberries tomorrow. 1.
