Question type: Module B Linear ProgrammingEach coffee table produced by Kevin WatsonDesigners nets the firm a profit of $12. Each bookcase yields a $22profit. Watson's firm is small and its resources limited. Duringany given production period (of 1 week), 20 gallons of varnishand 32 lengths of high-quality redwood are available. Each coffeetable requires approximately 1 gallon of varnish and 2 length ofredwood. Each bookcase takes 1 gallon of varnish and 1 lengthsof wood.Formulate Watson's production-mix decision as a linearprogramming problem, and solve.How many tables and bookcases should be produced each week?What will the maximum profit be?

Dana’s Ribbon World makes award rosettes. Following is information about the company: Variable cost per rosette $ 2.00 Sales price per rosette $ 6.00 Total fixed costs per month $ 6000.00 Required: 1. Suppose Dana’s would like to generate a profit of $1,120. Determine how many rosettes it must sell to achieve this target profit. 2. If Dana’s sells 2,140 rosettes, compute its margin of safety in units, in sales dollars, and as a percentage of sales. 3. Calculate Dana’s degree of operating leverage if it sells 2,140 rosettes. 4a. Using the degree of operating leverage, calculate the change in Dana’s profit if unit sales drop to 1,819 units. 4b. Prepare a new contribution margin income statement to verify change in dana's profit.

33 White & Becker Tools (W&B) requires 2,000 elec- tric motors next month for its product line of weed trimmers. Each motor is composed of three com- ponents: a coil, a shaft, and housing. W&B has the capability to produce these components or purchase them from an outside vendor. The costs of produc- ing them and purchasing them are shown in the following table. COMPONENT Coil Shaft Housing DEPART- MENT PRODUCTION COST PER UNIT Fabrication 0.5 Molding 0.4 Inspection 0.2 $2.60 $1.80 $1.40 The components that are produced by W&B must pass through three departments: fabrication, molding, and inspection. The number of hours each component requires in each department and the total number of hours available next month in each department are shown in the following table: 0.2 0.7 0.3 PURCHASE COST PER UNIT COIL SHAFT HOUSING AVAILABILITY (HR.)

Pls solve this question correctly in 5 min i will give u like Question # 2 A company produces two products, A and B. The sales volume for product A is at least 40% of the total sales of the two products. Both products use the same raw material, of which the daily availability is limited to 200 kg. Products A and B use this raw material at the rates of 5 kg/unit and 2 kg/unit, respectively. The sales prices for the two products are $50 and $20 per unit. Determine the following: a)Optimum volume of each product to be produced? b)What impact does the production mix have, in case the sales price of Product B decreases by 50%?

Om1. Margaret is a shift supervisor for Clear Lake Boats, Inc. She has been with the company since it started manufacturing boats more than ten years ago. Margaret worked on the production line until last year, when she was promoted to supervisor. The company started out small, with only 12 employees and one shift working Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Clear Lake Boats now has more than three hundred employees and runs three shifts a day.
