3. For most product (except essential commodities), higher prices result in decreased demand and
vice versa. Let
d = annual demand for a product in units
p = price per unit
Assuming that a firm estimates the following price ? demand relationship:
d = 800 ? 10 p, where p must be between Rs 20 and Rs 70.
Show the mathematical model for the total revenue, which is the annual demand multiplied by
the unit price. How many units the firm can sell at Rs 50 per unit price? If the price options are
Rs 30, Rs 40 and Rs 50 per unit only, at what price the total revenue will be maximum?

4. Given the LP as
Max 2A + 3B
Such that,
1A + 3B ? 90
5A + 5B ? 400

9. A company is trying to decide whether to bid for a certain contract or not. They estimate that
merely preparing the bid will cost ?10,000. If their company bid, then they estimate that there
is a 50% chance that their bid will be put on the "short-list", otherwise their bid will be
rejected.
Once "short-listed" the company will have to supply further detailed information (entailing
costs estimated at ?5,000). After this stage their bid will either be accepted or rejected.
The company estimates that the labor and material costs associated with the contract are
?127,000. They are considering three possible bid prices, namely ?155,000, ?170,000 and
?190,000. They estimate that the probability of these bids being accepted (once they have been
short-listed) is 0.90, 0.75 and 0.35 respectively.
What should the company do and what is the expected monetary value of your suggested
course of action? [10]

complete bank transactions without getting out of their cars. On week day mornings, arrivals
to the drive-up teller occurs at random, with the arrival rate of 24 customers per hour.
Assuming an exponential probability distribution with a service rate of 36 customers per hour,
please calculate the following:
a) The average number of customers waiting in the system
b) The average time a customer spends in waiting
c) The average time a customer spends in the system
d) The probability that arriving customers will have to wait for service. [10]
