Giapetto is thinking of buying a new cutting tool for $20 to make toy soldiers and a new clamping tool for $15 to make toy trains. If he does not buy a new tool, he can still make a toy using the older tool he already has. However, using an old cutting tool leads to 50% of the produced soldiers and using an old clamping tool leads to 20% of the produced trains to be defective. With a new tool, there is no defective production. Giapetto cannot sell any defective product. Weekly demands (must be met exactly without left- over inventory) and productions costs are as follows: 1. Soldiers 2. Trains Demand (units/week) Production cost ($/unit) 400 300 7 17 There are other details about the problem which will be added later. Giapetto started formulating a mathematical model considering only the above description and defined the following decision variables: • xi: Production quantity for type i toy, i = 1, 2 corresponding to soldiers and trains, respectively. Considering the above problem…
