Answer: DEFINITION OF 'CASH FLOW'

1. An accounting statement called the "statement of cash flows", which shows the amount of cash generated and used by a company in a given period. It is calculated by adding noncash charges (such as depreciation) to net income after taxes. Cash flow can be attributed to a specific project, or to a business as a whole. Cash flow can be used as an indication of a company's financial strength.

Q6. Write the assumptions of marginal costing. Differentiate between absorption costing and marginal costing.

Q1. Discuss the methodology of Operations Research. Explain in brief the phases of Operations Research.

Answer. a). The basic dominant characteristic feature of operations research is that it employs mathematical representations or models to analyze problems. This distinct approach represents an adaptation of the scientific methodology used by the physical sciences. The scientific method translates a real given problem into a mathematical representation which is solved and retransformed into the original context. The OR approach to

Q2. a. Explain the graphical method of solving Linear Programming Problem.

b. A paper mill produces two grades of paper viz., X and Y. Because of raw material restrictions, it cannot produce more than 400 tons of grade X paper and 300 tons of grade Y paper in a week. There are 160 production hours in a week. It requires 0.20 and 0.40 hours to produce a ton of grade X and Y papers. The mill earns a profit of Rs. 200 and Rs. 500 per ton of grade X and Y paper respectively. Formulate this as a Linear Programming Problem.

Answer. a). Linear programming (LP, or linear optimization) is a mathematical method for determining a way to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a given mathematical model for some list of requirements represented as linear relationships. The procedure for mathematical formulation of a linear programming problem consists of the following major steps:

Step 1: Study the given situation to find the key decision variables to be made.

Step 2: Identify the variables involved and

Q3. a. Explain how to solve the degeneracy in transportation problems.

b. Explain the procedure of MODI method of finding solution through optimality test.

Answer. a). Degeneracy in transportation problem

If the basic feasible solution of a transportation problem with m origins and n destinations has fewer than m + n – 1 positive (occupied cells), the problem is said to be a degenerate transportation problem.

Degeneracy can occur at two stages:

1. at the initial solution

2. during the testing of the optimal solution

To resolve degeneracy,

Q4. a. Explain the steps involved in Hungarian method of solving Assignment problems.

b. Find an optimal solution to an assignment problem with the following cost matrix:

	J1	J2	J3	J4
M1	10	9	7	8
M2	5	8	7	7
M3	5	4	6	5
M4	2	3	4	5

Answer. a). Hungarian method algorithm is based on the concept of opportunity cost and is more efficient in solving assignment problems. Adopt the following steps mentioned below to solve an AP using the Hungarian method algorithm:

Step 1: Prepare row ruled matrix by selecting the minimum values for each row and subtract it from other elements of the row.

Step 2: Prepare column reduced matrix by subtracting minimum value of the column from the other values of that

Q5. a. Explain Monte Carlo Simulation.

b. A Company produces 150 cars. But the production rate varies with the distribution.

Production Rate	147	148	149	150	151	152	153
Probability	0.05	0.10	0.15	0.20	0.30	0.15	0.05

At present the track will hold 150 cars. Using the following random numbers determine the average number of cars waiting for shipment in the company and average number of empty space in the truck. Random Numbers  82, 54, 50, 96, 85, 34, 30, 02, 64, 47.

Answer. a). Monte Carlo simulation is a computerized mathematical technique that allows people to account for risk in quantitative analysis and decision making. The technique is used by professionals in such widely disparate fields as finance, project management, energy, manufacturing, engineering, research and development, insurance, oil & gas, transportation, and the environment.

Monte Carlo simulation furnishes the decision-maker with a range of possible outcomes and the probabilities they will occur for any choice of action

Q6. a. Explain the dominance principle in game theory.

b. Describe the Constituents of a Queuing System.

c. Differentiate between PERT and CPM.

Answer. a). Dominance principle in game theory,

At times, a convex combination of two or more courses of action may dominate another course of action.  Whenever  a  course  of  action  (say A s or B q ) is dominated by others, then that course of action ( A s or B q ) can be deleted from the pay-off matrix. Such a deletion will not affect the choice of the solution, but it reduces the order of
