A company is designing a new regional distribution warehouse. To minimize delays in loading and unloading trucks, an adequate number of loading docks must be built. The most relevant technique to assist in determining the proper number of docks is

  1. Linear programming.
  2. Decision trees.
  3. The Monte Carlo method.
  4. Queuing theory.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A decision model is a formal means of choosing future courses of action. The programmed decision process and the non programmer decision process are used for making decisions. What is the difference between the two?

  1. The programmed decision process is used for complex situations.
  2. The programmed decision process is not based upon decision rules.
  3. The non programmer decision process requires answers to four questions.
  4. No difference exists between the two.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Management accountants provide qualitative information as well as quantitative financial and 1nonfinancial information useful in applying a decision model, The programmed decision process is used for routine or repetitive decisions. The non programmer decision process is used for complex. no routine situations calling for the use of the problem- solving process. Pour questions need to be answered before making a non programmer decision.
