(i) Your tirm is constructing a bridge and you are planning to import material from a quarry with a swell factor of 12 percent and the quarry is located at a distance = Your Roll number/50 kilometers from your bridge site. The amount paid to the quarry owner is at unit price is Rs 2.5 per cubic- meter, You are hauling material by 25 ton trucks which can run at a speed of 30 kilometer hour and the truck can offload its load in five minutes. You are using a bulldozer at the quarry to pile the material for top-loading into trucks by a front- end loader, The bulldozer can pile-up enough material needed for transport. Your firm have a front-end loader with a loading rate of 30 cubic-meter per hour as bank-measure. The front-end loader and trucks are leased at a rate of Re4500lday and Rs3000day for eight hours/day. Please use the salary of the workers, operators, drivers and other professional staff according to your own choice Please calculate the Amount and duration of transporting a quantity of fifty thousand cubic yardis of gravel from this quarry to your bridge site.

Optimization problem: An open top container of length L, width W and height H is used to transport ore. The cost for the surface area is $ 100/m2; cost of weld is $ 10/m; 400 m³ of ore is to be transported in no more than 50 trips; the length is not to exceed 3 m and width not to exceed 2 m. Formulate the optimization problem to solve for the maximum volume of the container.
A contractor needs 3715 m³ of aggregate base for a highway construction project. It will be compacted to a dry unit weight of 18.9 kN/m³. This material is available in a stockpile at a local material supply yard at a water content of 7.75%, but is sold by the metric ton and not by cubic meters (ton 3 1000kg). a. How many tons of aggregate should the contractor purchase? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b. A few weeks later, an intense rainstorm increased the water content of the stockpile to 14%. If the contractor orders the same quantity for an identical section of the highway, how many cubic meters. of compacted aggregate base will he produce?

A Highway contractor has four locations A, B, C, and D on a road contract which crushed stone is to be delivered. The stone, which is all of the same quality is to be supplied from three quarries 1, 2, and 3. The table below shows the relative transportation cost per cubic meter of transporting stone from each quarry to each site. However, the contractor discovered a technical problem in the third quarry, which results in a temporary shutdown of the facility. Based on this new condition, the contractor must deliver the crushed stone from the first and the second quarries only. Any shortage in the required crushed stone has to be covered from an external source. a) What is the optimal allocation of the crushed stone from each quarry to each location under the new circumstances? b) What is the transportation cost corresponding to the solution obtained in part a? c) Which of the four sites are affected by the shortage that results from the shutdown of the third quarry?

The plant manager has asked you to do a cost analysis to determine when currently owned equipment should be replaced. The manager stated that under no circumstances will the existing equipment be retained longer than two more years and that once it is replaced, a contractor will provide the same service from then on at a cost of $97,000 per year. The salvage value of the currently owned equipment is estimated to be $37,000 now, $30,000 in 1 year, and $19,000 two years from now. The operating cost is expected to be $85,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 10% per year, determine when the defending equipment should be retired
