A businessman is considering opening a small specialized trucking firm. To make the firm profitable, it must have a daily trucking capacity of at least 84,000 cubic feet. Two types of trucks are appropriate for the specialized operation. Their characteristics and costs are summarized in the table below. Note that truck two requires three drivers for long haul trips. There are 41 potential drivers available, and there are facilities for at most 40 trucks. The businessman's objective is to minimize the total cost outlay for trucks. Capacity Drivers Truck Cost (cu. ft.) Needed Small $18,000 2,400 1 Large $45,000 6,000

The Westchester Chamber of Commerce periodically sponsors public service seminars and programs. Currently, promotional plans are under way for this year's program. Advertising alternatives include television, radio, and online. Audience estimates, costs, and maximum media usage limitations are as shown: Constraint Television Radio Online Audience per advertisement 100,000 16,000 35,000 Cost per advertisement $1,500 $250 $650 Maximum media usage 10 24 14 To ensure a balanced use of advertising media, radio advertisements must not exceed 50% of the total number of advertisements authorized. In addition, television should account for at least 10% of the total number of advertisements authorized.

A manufacturer has the capability to produce both chairs and tables. Both products use the same materials (wood, nails and paint) and both have a setup cost ($100 for chairs, $200 for tables). The firm earns a profit of $20 per chair and $65 per table and can sell as many of each as it can produce. The daily supply of wood, nails and paint is limited. To manage the decision-making process, an analyst has formulated the following linear programming model:Max 20x1 + 65x2 – 100y1 – 200y2s.t. 5x1 + 10x2 ≤ 100 {Constraint 1}20x1 + 50x2 ≤ 250 {Constraint 2}1x1 + 1.5x2 ≤ 10 {Constraint 3}My1 ≥ x1 {Constraint 4}My2 ≥ x2 {Constraint 5}yi={1, if product j is produced ; 0, otherwise}Which of the following would be a reasonable value for the variable "M"?
