The enormous state university good works society recently raised funds for three worthwhile causes: the math professors' benevolent fund (mpbf), the society of computer nerds (scn), and the ny jets. because the society's members are closet jocks, the society donated twice as much to the ny jets as to the mpbf, and equal amounts to the first two funds (it is unable to distinguish between mathematicians and nerds). further, for every $1 it gave to the mpbf, it decided to keep $1 for itself; for every $1 it gave to the scn, it kept $2, and for every $1 to the jets, it also kept $2. the treasurer of the society, johnny treasure, was required to itemize all donations for the dean of students, but discovered to his consternation that he had lost all the receipts! the only information available to him was that the society's bank account had swelled by $4200. how much did the society donate to each cause?

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity.why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity

Why are the four primary service outputs of spatial convenience, lot size, waiting time, and product variety important to logistics management? provide examples of competing firms that differ in the level of each service output provided to customers?
