Helter Industries, a company that produces a line of women's bathing suits, hires temporaries to help produce its summer product demand. For the current four-month rolling schedule, there are 12 full-time employees on staff. Temps can be hired when needed and can be used as needed on a month-by-month basis, whereas the full-time employees must be paid whether they are needed or not. Each full-time employee can produce 203 suits, while each temporary employee can produce 163 suits per month. Demand for bathing suits for the next four months is as follows: MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST 3,270 2,870 3,170 3,070 Beginning inventory in May is 408 complete (a complete two-piece includes both top and bottom) bathing suits. Bathing suits cost $40 to produce and carrying cost is 36 percent per year. Develop an aggregate plan that uses the 12 full-time employees each month and a minimum number of temporary employees. Assume that all employees will produce at their full potential each month. Calculate the inventory carrying cost associated with your plan using planned end of month levels.

Why there has to be two lines in a plane

Four analysts cover the stock of fluorine chemical. one forecasts a 6% return for the coming year. the second expects the return to be negative 6%. the third predicts a return of 8%. the fourth expects a 2% return in the coming year. you are relatively confident that the return will be positive but not large, so you arbitrarily assign probabilities of being correct of 35 % comma 8 %, 17 %, and 40%, respectively, to the analysts' forecasts. given these probabilities, what is fluorine chemicals expected return for the coming year
