1) A location analysis has been narrowed down to two locations, Akron and Boston. The main factors in the decision will be the supply of raw materials, which has a weight of .50, transportation cost, which has a weight of .40, and labor cost, which has a weight of .10. The scores for raw materials, transportation, and labor are for Akron 60, 80, and 70, respectively; for Boston 70, 50, and 90, respectively. Given this information and a minimum acceptable composite score of 75, we can say that the manager should:

		choose Boston.
		be indifferent between these locations.
		choose Akron.
		build a plant in both cities.
		reject both locations.

2) John's House of Pancakes uses a weighted moving average method to forecast pancake sales. It assigns a weight of 5 to the previous month's demand, 3 to demand two months ago, and 1 to demand three months ago. If sales amounted to 3000 pancakes in May, 2200 pancakes in June, and 1000 pancakes in July, what should be the forecast for August?

		2511
		3767
		2067
		1622
		2400

QUESTION 27 1 p Consider the assembly line below. The three fabrication operations run in parallel, such that each batch of 20 units only needs to go through one of the three fabrication operations. After that, each batch needs to go through both assembly operations, which occur simultaneously (specifically, 10 components are made for each unit in the fabrication stage-some components are then assembled in the Assembly 1 area while others are assembled in the Assembly 2 area). The units are packaged and made ready for shipment in the final stage. Fabrication 24 min./batch Assembly 1 7 min./batch Fabrication 24 min./batch Packaging 3 min./batch Assembly 2 6 min./batch Fabrication 24 min./batch What is the throughput time per batch of this operation? 40 min. 34 min. 8 min. 33 min. 88 min
