Tropicana is a major producer of orange juice. Different consumers have different valuations for Tropicana orange juice. Twenty-five percent of consumers value a 64 oz carton of juice at $6; while the remaining seventy-five percent value the same carton at $4. In common with many producers of consumer products, Tropicana often distribute coupons. The first group of consumers (the $6 valuation group) dislike the hassle associated with coupons; their disutility from keeping track of a coupon is $1. In contrast, the second group do not greatly mind dealing with coupons, and suffer a disutility of only 15c.(Here, "disutility" is simply a fancy way of saying dislike, with dislike measured in dollar terms.)Tropicana’s marginal cost of producing and distributing the juice is $3.

These resources are available time (R1) of a Robotic Insertion Machine (RIM), workforce hours (R2) and certain type of electronic components (R3). Profits generated from each unit of the thermostats are shown in the first row of the following table. The amount of resources required to produce one unit of the thermostats are also given in the table. The last column of the table shows the available amount of the resources. Comfort-Air needs to decide the numbers of thermostats of each type (x,,x, and x,) to produce in order to maximize its total profit.

Excel Solver please
Create spreadsheets and use Solver to determine the correct volumes to be produced to minimize cost for the following problem. Your company has two trucks that it wishes to use on a specific contract. One is a new truck the company is making payments on, and one is an old truck that is fully paid for. The new truck’s costs per mile are as follows: 54₵ (fuel/additives), 24₵ (truck payments), 36₵ (driver), 12₵ (repairs), and 1₵ (misc.). The old truck’s costs are 60₵ (fuel/additives), 0₵ (truck payments), 32₵ (rookie driver), 24₵ (repairs), and 1₵ (misc.). The company knows that truck breakdowns lose customers, so it has capped estimated repair costs at $14,000. The total distance involved is 90,000 miles (to be divided between the two trucks).
Demand is forecasted using the following regression equation: D = 100 + 15(t) where “t” is a specified future time period. The current time period is 0 (t=0). The machines used to make this product have a capacity of 50 units/time period. The company currently has 4 machines yielding a total capacity of 200 units/time period. Due to technology changes, the current equipment will become obsolete at the end of period 15. If a new machine costs $2000, and the net revenue earned per unit is $10, how many machines should be added between today (t=0) and the end of period 15?
