The following information relates to a company's aggregate production planning activities:

quarter demand forecast 1 25,000 2 50,000 3 35,000 4 60,000
beginning workforce = 50 workers production per employee = 250 units per quarter
hiring cost = $1000 per worker firing cost = $1,500 per worker
inventory carrying cost = $15 per unit per quarter

if a chase demand strategy is used then the number of workers hired at the start of quarter 2 would be?

Differentiate between the trait, behavioral, and results-based performance appraisal systems, providing an example where each would be most applicable.

Ahospital purchases a $500,000 magnetic resonance imaging (mri) machine that has a useful life of 9 years. the salvage value at the end of 9 years is $77,000. (a) write a linear equation that describes the value y (in dollars) of the mri machine in terms of the time t (in years), 0 ≤ t ≤ 9. (b) find the value, in dollars, of the machine after 6 years. $ (c) find the time, in years, when the value of the equipment will be $140,000. (round your answer to two decimal places.) yr
