A group of fresh industrial engineering graduates in the Sultanate of Oman are starting their own business, specializing in the production of two types of metal ingots, I and II. They are eager to apply what they learned in their Theory of Modeling and Optimization course to solve a real-world problem. The graduates operate a foundry that smelts steel, aluminum, and cast-iron scraps. The ingots have specific limits on the aluminum, graphite, and silicon contents. To meet these specifications, aluminum and silicon briquettes may be used in the smelting process. The problem is to determine the optimal blending of input materials that satisfies the demand requirements at minimum cost. This involves deciding how much of each input material to use in the production of each type of ingot.

An Investec analyst is looking to invest R180,000 in hopes of getting the highest return possible. There are four investment options available: bonds, mutual funds, stocks, or a savings account yielding interest. The bonds give a 4% annual return, mutual funds give an 9% return, stocks give a 12% return, and the savings account gives a 3% return with all investments being subject to risk. To control for risk, the following constraints are put into place: a) No more than 12% of the total investment can be put into stocks. b) At most 30% must be invested in mutual funds and/or the savings account. c) The amount put in the bonds must be no more than the amount put into the other investments combined. d) The ratio of money invested in mutual funds to the amount invested in stocks and the savings account should be at least 2 to 1. e) All the R180,000 must be invested and no shorting is allowed. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem to get the highest return (i.e., Define…
1. ARI Chemicals produces two products that are sold as raw materials to companies manufacturing bath soaps and laundry detergents. Based on an analysis of current inventory levels and potential demands for the coming month, ARI management specified that the combined production for products A and B must total at least 350 gallons. Separately, a major customer’s order of 125 gallons of product A must also be satisfied. Product A requires 2 hours of processing time per gallon and product B requires 1 hour of processing time per gallon. For the coming month, 600 hours of processing time are available. ARI's objective is to satisfy these requirements at a minimum total production cost. Production costs are $2 per gallon for product A and $3 per gallon for product B. - Generate the mathematical model for the optimal number of products A and B to be produced by ARI chemicals. - Create Graph
Consider the following representation of the Ricardian Model. Two countries, India and Vietnam, produce two products - tea and garments. Total labour supply in India is 48 and the total labour supply in Vietnam is 60. The table provides the unit-labour requirements () to produce tea and garments in each country. India Vietnam Tea 120 32 Garments 48 16 Consider a monopolistically competitive industry where firms differ in productivity levels. When the industry opens to international trade, transportation and other transaction costs may determine which firms will remain exclusively in the local market and which firms will become exporters. a) True or False? b) Explain with the support of a graph.
