Pickson Luthiers Corporation makes four models of electric guitars, ScarCT, Dela Mort,
Warax, and Invazen. Each guitar must flow through five departments, assembly,
painting, sound testing, inspection, and packaging. The table below shows the relevant
data. Production rates are shown in units/hour. (ScarCT is assembled elsewhere).
Pickson wants to determine how many guitars to make to maximize monthly profit.
According to the linear optimization model, what would be the total time spent for
sound testing the Warax model?
A) 5
B) 4
C) 6
D) 10.5
In an event X, the probability of rolling a sum of 8 on two dice is 5/36 while the
probability of
rolling an 11 is 2/36. In another event Y, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/36, the
probability of
rolling a 9 is 4/36, and the probability of rolling a 4 is 3/36.
What is probability that neither X nor Y will occur?
A) 29/26
B) 1/36
C) 28/36
D) 21/36

The accuracy of the model on the test data gives a realistic estimate of the performance
of the model on completely unseen data.
Cerebro Manufacturing produces four types of structural support fittings-plugs, rails,
rivets, and clips-which are machined on two CNC machining centers. The machining
centers have a capacity of 250,000 minutes per year. The gross margin per unit and
machining requirements are shown in the spreadsheet below.
What is the gross margin per minute of plugs manufactured?
A) $ 0.60
B) $ 0.73
C) $ 0.40
D) $ 0.27
Below is a spreadsheet for Trance Electronics.
Suppose that the project manager of Trance Electronics has identified the following
uncertain variables in the model and the distributions and parameters that describe
them, as follows: Market size: normal with mean of 20,000,000 units and standard
deviation of 4,000,000 units. R&D costs: uniform between $600,000,000 and
$800,000,000.
Clinical trial costs: lognormal with mean of $150,000,000 and standard deviation
$30,000,000. Annual market growth factor: triangular with minimum = 2%,
maximum = 6%, and most likely = 3%.
Annual market share growth rate: triangular with minimum = 15%, maximum =
25%, and most likely = 20%.
The number of trials per simulation is equal to 10,000 at a Sim. Random Seed of 2. Run
