A non-profit foundation is hosting a fundraising dinner. A few days ahead of the event you need to notify the caterer the quantity of meals you want served. The cost to cater each meal is $25. Each guest donates $100 to the non-profit foundation to attend the dinner event. Any leftover meals not eaten have no residual value. If a donor arrives at the event wanting to donate and no meals are left (i. e., you under ordered), the disappointed, hungry donor will i) not donate $100 at this event, and ii) be less likely to donate in the future, costing the foundation $75 (goodwill cost).a) (4 pts) What is the underage cost? What is the overage cost? What is the target service level? Cu = 150 Co = 25 Target Service Level = .8571 or 85.71%b) (4 pts) This is the first year of your event, so the only historical data you have is from the caterer who says that from her past experience with other foundations, the number of donors who will attend is well-approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 9.How many meals should you order? What is your effective service level? (NOTE: It might help you to know that for a standard normal distribution: z.8824=1.19, z.8571=1.07, z.90=1.28, z.95=1.64) Order 110 meals Effective Service Level = 85.71%For the remainder of the questions: It is now 10 years later (assume all revenue and costs are the same as in the original question), and you believe the historical data from your past fundraisers will more accurately predict the amount of meals you should order. The following table contains historical donor attendance for your various past fundraisers:Number of Donors. 104 105 106 107% of fundraisers 63% 20% 10% 7%c) Using the historical data, now how many meals should you order? Justify. Q* = 106 mealsd) What is your effective service level? Service Level = 93%e) The president of your foundation comes to you and says that he wants you to ensure that you won’t run out of meals at least 95% for all future fundraisers. How many dinners do you need to buy in order to meet that service level? 107 Meals

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
