The provincial government plans to distribute certain types of vaccines to the 3 major urban centers of the province covering a large portion of the provincial population. The 5 million doses of vaccines are expected to arrive in large batches at one of the major cargo airports by 2 military transporter airplanes in a single day. The vaccines will then be distributed to the 3 cities with the number of doses corresponding to the population sizes of the 3 cities. They will be further distributed to the 20 hospitals and about 200 local clinics in these 3 cities. Officials of the provincial health agency must plan for the upcoming vaccine distribution.

The Gorilla Oil Company near Pittsburg transports gasoline to its distributors by truck. The company recently contracted to supply gasoline distributors in Kansa, and it has $1,000,000 available to spend on the necessary expansion of its fleet of gasoline tank trucks. Three models of gasoline tank trucks are available. II. Truck Model Capacity (gallons) Purchase Cost Monthly Operating Cost Super Tanker Regular Line Econo-Tanker 5,000 3,000 2,000 $50,000 $40,000 $25,000 $1,000 $ 800 $ 600 The company estimates that the monthly demand for the region will be 500,000 gallons of gasoline. Because of the size and speed differences of the trucks, the number of deliveries or round trips possible per month for each truck model will vary. Trip capacities are estimated at 10 trips per month for the Super Tanker, 20 trips per month for the Regular Line, and 30 trips per month for the Econo-Tanker. Based on maintenance and driver availability, the firm does not want to add more than 30 new vehicles…

A 36,000 square foot office building in Emeryville, California that was 88% leased had a 2023 annual net operating income estimated to be $1,880,000 with gross leases for all its tenants and a three level subterranean parking garage with 180 parking spaces. The 2024 NOI could be increased by all the following, EXCEPT: Increasing the operating expenses by adding additional maintenance staff Increasing the parking income by charging tenants for their employee parking Increasing the occupancy rate of the building by signing leases with new tenants Increasing the rental rates in new leases that are signed for the building
A company manufactures a product at its plants in C and D; then ships the product to its four distribution centers in K, L, M, and N. The transportation costs per unit (in dollars per unit) are as follows: from C to K, L, M, and N: 10, 5, 9, and 20. from D to K, L, M, and N: 2, 8, 30, and 10. The monthly demand from K, L., M, and N are: 3000, 1400, 4000, and 1200 units, respectively. On the other hand, the monthly capacity at plants C and D are: 4100 and 5800 units, respectively. Develop a linear programming model that can be used to determine the distribution plan that will minimize total monthly transportation cost. Use Excel Solver to find the optimal solution The optimal solution shows that the total monthly transportation cost is dollars.
