Question 1. Do you think frequent small raises versus annual larger raises are more motivating? Why or why not? 2. Do you think you would personally be more motivated by more frequent raises or by performance bonuses if the annual amounts were the same? 3.Annual pay raises in the United States are expected to be around 3 percent in the next few years. Do you think this percentage is motivating to employees? Why or why not?

UBike is a bicycle manufacturer based in Japan. Haruki, the supply chain manager at UBike is designing the manufacturing network and has selected four potential sites—Tokyo, Sapporo, Fukuoka, and Sendai. The below table shows the annual fixed costs at the four locations as well as the cost of producing and shipping a bicycle to each of the four markets. Note that plants could have a capacity of either 250,000 or 500,000 units and that each open plant should have at least 60% capacity utilisation. - Develop a spreadsheet model and solve the problem of finding the optimal location and sizing for UBike factories.

A 5.00A Current runs through a 12-guage copper wire (diameter 2.05mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5 x 10^28 free electrons per cubic meter. (a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each second? (b) What is the current density of the wire? (c) At what speed does a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? 

A pump is placed 3 ft above its level and is used to transfer water at a flow of 500 gal / min through a 6-inch diameter, 6-ft long steel pipe. If the pressure difference is 10 psi, calculate the power of the pump operating with 50% efficiency. Use the assumption that the flow is fully developed and there are no friction losses.
