Formulate but do not solve the following exercise as a linear programming problem. A nutritionist at the Medical Center has been asked to prepare a special diet for certain patients. She has decided that the meals are to be prepared from Foods A and B and that the meals should contain a minimum of 380 mg of calcium, 5 mg of iron, and 45 mg of vitamin C. Each ounce of Food A contains 30 mg of calcium, 1 mg of iron, 5 mg of vitamin C, and 2 mg of cholesterol. Each ounce of Food B contains 25 mg of calcium, 0.5 mg of iron, 5 mg of vitamin C, and 5 mg of cholesterol. How many ounces of each type of food should be used in a meal so that the cholesterol content C (in mg) is minimized and the minimum requirements of calcium, iron, and vitamin Care met? Minimize C = subject to the constraints calcium iron vitamin C x2 0 y 20

Formulate a linear programming problem that can be used to solve the following question. An airline has three types of airplanes and has contracted with a tour group to provide transportation for a minimum of 70 first-class, 52 tourist, and 108 economy-class passengers. The first plane costs $4100 for the trip and can accommodate 36 first-class, 16 tourist, and 18 economy-class passengers; the second plane costs $4800 for the trip and can accommodate 8 first-class, 10 tourist, and 42 economy-class passengers; the third plane costs $6300 for the trip and can accommodate 18 first-class, 36 tourist, and 16 economy-class passengers. How many of each type of airplane should be used to minimize the operating cost?

Deluxe River Cruises operates a fleet of river vessels. The fleet has two types of vessels: A type-A vessel has 60 deluxe cabins and 160 standard cabins, whereas a type-B vessel has 80 deluxe cabins and 120 standard cabins. Under a charter agreement with Odyssey Travel Agency, Deluxe River Cruises is to provide Odyssey with a minimum of 360 deluxe and 680 standard cabins for their 15-day cruise in May. It costs $41,000 to operate a type-A vessel and $57,000 to operate a type-B vessel for that period. How many of each type of vessel (x type-A and y type-B) should be used in order to keep the operating costs to a minimum? (x, y) = What is the minimum cost?$
Formulate but do not solve the following exercise as a linear programming problem.. TMA manufactures 37-in. high-definition LCD televisions in two separate locations: Location I and Location II. The output at Location I is at most 5500 televisions/month, whereas the output at Location II is at most 4700 televisions/month. TMA is the main supplier of televisions to Pulsar Corporation, its holding company, which has priority in having all its requirements met. In a certain month, Pulsar placed orders for 2600 and 3700 televisions to be shipped to two of its factories located in City A and City B, respectively. The shipping costs (in dollars) per television from the two TMA plants to the two Pulsar factories are as follows. From TMA Location I Location II Minimize TMA will ship x televisions from Location I to City A and y televisions from Location I to City B. Find a shipping schedule that meets the requirements of both companies while keeping costs, C (in dollars), to a minimum.…
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"? A. 100 B. 10 C. 1 D. 0.1 E. 0.01
Use Excel to solve the linear programming problem.At one of its factories, a manufacturer of televisions makes one or more of four models of HD units (without cases): a 20-in. LCD, a 42-in. LCD, a 42-in. plasma, and a 50-in. plasma. The assembly and testing time requirements for each model are shown in the table, together with the maximum amounts of time available per week for assembly and testing. In addition to these constraints, the supplier of cases indicated that it would supply no more than 290 cases per week and that of these, no more than 40 could be for the 20-in. LCD model.Use the profit for each television shown in the table to find the number of completed models of each type that should be produced to obtain the maximum profit for the week.
