of the island to help alleviate traffic congestion and to provide users with a safer road
network. The government of Grenada has approached two (2) contractors for an estimate.
They are required to submit a proposal that details the cost combination of labour (L),
machinery (M), and technology (T) in achieving their expected total cost, total profit, and
total revenue.
Contractor 1
Two labour, four machinery, and three technology will result in a total cost of thirty-three
dollars. While one labour, two machinery, and one technology give a total profit of fifteen
dollars. Lastly, ten labour, five machinery, and six technologies result in total revenue of
eighty-three dollars.
Contractor 2
No Proposal was submitted.
a) From Contractor 1's proposal, derive three (3) simultaneous equations.
b) From the answer to part a) above, set these equations in matrix form
c) Given that the government of Grenada only received one proposal, should the
contract be awarded to Contractor 1? Give reason(s) for your answer.
d) Give three (3) reasons why you believe Contractor 2 never submitted a proposal?

Trans Global Tractor Trailers has decided to spend up to $2,700,000 on a fleet of new trucks, and it is considering three models: the Gigahaul, which has a capacity of 6,000 cubic feet and is priced at $60,000; the Megahaul, with a capacity of 5,000 cubic feet, priced at $50,000; and the Picohaul, with a capacity of 2,000 cubic feet, priced at $40,000. The anticipated annual revenues are $500,000 for each new truck purchased (regardless of size). Trans Global would like a total capacity of up to 234,000 cubic feet and feels that it cannot provide drivers and maintenance for more than 54 trucks.How many of each should it purchase to maximize annual revenue?
