Problem Set
1. The government of Grenada wishes to rebuild the West coast road that leads to the north
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?
