5. Exercise 11.6
Wyandotte Chemical Company sells various chemicals to the automobile industry. Wyandotte currently sells 30,000 gallons of polyol per year at an
average price of $60 per gallon. Fixed costs of manufacturing polyol are $360,000 per year and total variable costs equal $720,000. The operations
research department has estimated that a 15 percent increase in output would not affect fixed costs but would reduce average variable costs by 60
cents per gallon. The marketing department has estimated the arc elasticity of demand for polyol to be -2.0.
How much would Wyandotte have to reduce the price of polyol to achieve a 15 percent increase in the quantity sold?
7.5 percent
Such a price cut would increase
total revenues from $1,800,000 to $
Total costs would be $
and total profits
would be s

3. The chief economist for Argus Corporation, a large appliance manufacturer, estimated the firm's short-run cost function for vacuum cleaners using an average variable cost function of the form AVC = a + bQ + cQ² where AVC = dollars per vacuum cleaner and Q = number of vacuum cleaners pro- duced each month.

1. Due to the quarantine, the demand for NineTendo On/Off console suddenly peaked and is expected to have the following demands for the next four quarters: 5million, 7million, 4million, and 5million units, respectively. The unit price starts at 20,000 and increase by 1,000 each quarter thereafter. The company Nine Tendo can supply no more than 7million units in any one quarter. Although, we can take advantage of lower prices in early quarters, a storage cost of 2,800 is incurred per unit per quarter. In addition, the number of units that can be held over from one quarter to the next must be 1.4million or less. Develop an LP to determine the schedule for purchasing the item to meet the demand while minimizing the cost.
A manufacturing company has been experimenting with a new additive that is used to reduce polluting effluents from its production facility. Test results suggest that if no additive is used, pollution levels are 3000 parts per million (ppm). For each pound of additive used per week, pollution levels are reduced by 0.49 ppm. The additive costs $30 per pound. The reason for experimenting with the additive is that a government agency is conducting weekly air quality tests in the vicinity of the production facility. Regulations state that if pollution levels exceed 2000 ppm, a fine is imposed. The fine is $1000 for each ppm by which the pollution level exceeds the 2000 ppm limit. If the company has budgeted $80,000 per week to spend on the additive and any pollution fines, how much additive should be purchased each week for use by the company? What is the resulting amount that the company is willing to pay in terms of weekly fines?

Cox Electric makes electronic components and has estimated the following for a new design of one of its products: Fixed Cost = $3,000 Material cost per unit = $0.15 Labor cost per unit = $0.10 Revenue per unit = $0.65 Production Volume = 12,000 Per-unit material and labor cost together make up the variable cost per unit. Assuming that Cox Electric sells all it produces, build a spreadsheet model that calculates the profit by subtracting the fixed cost and total variable cost from total revenue, and answer the following questions. (a) Construct a one-way data table with production volume as the column input and profit as the output. Breakeven occurs when profit goes from a negative to a positive value; that is, breakeven is when total revenue = total cost, yielding a profit of zero. Vary production volume from 5,000 to 50,000 in increments of 5,000. In which interval of production volume does breakeven occur? to units

A regional municipality is studying a water supply plan for its tri-city and surrounding area to the end of year 2070. To satisfy the water demand, one suggestion is to construct a pipeline from a major lake some distance away. Construction would start at the beginning of 2030 and take five years at a cost of $30 million per year. The cost of maintenance and repairs starts after completion of construction and for the first year is $3 million, increasing by 2 percent per year thereafter. At an interest rate of 7 percent, what is the present worth of this project? Assume all cash flows take place at year-end. Consider the present to be the end of 2025/beginning of 2026. Assume there is no salvage value at the end of year 2070. Click the icon to view the table of compound interest factors for discrete compounding periods when i = 7%.
