Hart Venture Capital Case Problem 3 After performing an analysis of HVC’s investment problem‚ I found that the company’s objective was to maximize the net present value of the total investment in Security Systems and Market Analysis. To find the maximum net present value and analyze the numbers‚ I set up the model shown below. Max 1‚800‚000*SS + 1‚600‚000*MA s.t. 600‚000*SS + 500‚000*MA ≤ 800‚000 600‚000*SS + 350‚000*MA ≤ 700‚000 250‚000*SS + 400‚000*MA ≤ 500‚000 SS‚MA ≥ 0 After

Problem Introduction Julia Robertson‚ a senior at Tech‚ is investigating different way to finance her final year at school. She is considering opening a food booth outside the stadium at the home football games. We are asked to formulate and solve the linear program in excel‚ write the sensitivity ranges for the objective function coefficients and the constraint quantity values then determine if Julia were to borrow some money from a friend before the first game to purchase more ingredients‚ could

Burnside Marketing Research conducted a study for Baker Foods on some designs for a new dry cereal. Three attributes were found to be most influential in determining which cereal had the best taste: ratio of wheat to corn in the cereal flake‚ type of sweetener (sugar‚ honey‚ or artificial)‚ and the presence or absence of flavor bits. Seven children participated in taste tests and provided the following part-worths for the attributes. | |Wheat/ Corn | |Sweetener |Flavor
