SHORT ANSWER - Linear programming model (Management Science)

Transcribed Image Text:1.The relationship d = 5000 - 25p describes what happens to demand (d) as price (p) varies.
Price can vary between $10 and $50. How many units can be sold when the price is $10?
2.Administrators at a university are planning to offer a summer seminar. It costs $3000 to
reserve a room, hire an instructor, and bring in the equipment. Assume it costs $25 per
student for the administrators to provide the course materials. If we know that 20 people will
attend, what price should be charged per person to break even?
3.A central heating installation company has a fixed annual cost of $120000. The variable
costs are $1000 per unit. The company charges $3500 per unit installed. Determine the
break even volume for this company
4.The poultry farmer decided to make his own chicken scratch by combining Alfalfa (A) and
Corn ('C) in rail car quantities. A rail car of corn costs $400 and a rail car of alfalfa costs
$200. The farmer's chickens have a minimum daily requirement of vitamin K (500
milligrams) and iron (400 milligrams), but it doesn't matter whether those elements come
from corn, alfalfa, or some other grain. A unit of corn contains 150 milligrams of vitamin K
and 75 milligrams of iron. A unit of alfalfa contains 250 milligrams of vitamin K and 50
milligrams of iron.

6. The production manager for the COWRY soft drink company is considering the production of
two kinds of soft drinks: regular (R) and diet (D). Two of her limited resources are production
time (8 hours = 480 minutes per day) and syrup (1 of the ingredients), limited to 675 gallons
per day. To produce a regular case requires 2 minutes and 5 gallons of syrup, while a diet
case needs 4 minutes and 3 gallons of syrup. Profits for regular soft drink are $3.00 per
case and profits for diet soft drink are $2.00 per case.
A.What is the objective function?
B. Mention all the constraints
