An Electronics Firm Produces Two Models of Pocket Calculators: the A-100

question 97

Multiple Choice

An electronics firm produces two models of pocket calculators: the A-100 (A) , which is an inexpensive four-function calculator, and the B-200 (B) , which also features square root and percent functions. Each model uses one (the same) circuit board, of which there are only 2,500 available for this week's production. Also, the company has allocated a maximum of 800 hours of assembly time this week for producing these calculators, of which the A-100 requires 15 minutes (.25 hours) each, and the B-200 requires 30 minutes (.5 hours) each to produce. The firm forecasts that it could sell a maximum of 4,000 A-100s this week and a maximum of 1,000 B-200s. Profits for the A-100 are $1.00 each, and profits for the B-200 are $4.00 each. What is the objective function?

• A)$4.00 A + $1.00 B = Z
• B)$.25 A + $1.00 B = Z
• C)$1.00 A + $4.00 B = Z
• D)$1.00 A + $1.00 B = Z
• E)$.25 A + $.50 B = Z

Definitions:

Cyclic Electron Pathway

Alternate form of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis that does not produce NADPH.

Noncyclic Electron Pathway

Light-dependent photosynthetic pathway that is used to generate ATP and NADPH. Because the pathway is noncyclic, the electrons must be replaced by the splitting of water (photolysis).

Calvin Cycle Reactions

A series of biochemical redox reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms. It is a critical part of the process of carbon fixation, converting carbon dioxide into glucose.

Stroma

The supportive tissue of an epithelial organ, tumor, gonad, etc., consisting of connective tissues and blood vessels.
