The High Note Sound Company manufactures two quality Stereo Receivers: Product X1 and Product X2. Product X1 earns 50 dollars in profit whereas Product X2 earns 120 dollars. Product X1 requires two hours of an electrician's time and three hours of an audio technician's time, whereas Product X2 requires four hours of an electrician's time and one hour of an audio technician's time. In a month, the company has 80 hours of electrician's time available and 60 hours of audio technician's time available. a) Formulate the product mix LP model. b) Find the optimal product mix and profit. c) What if the profit margin for Product X1 increases from 50 to 70? Will it be optimal to produce X1?

A tutoring service provides tutoring for a fee. When the tutoring service charges $11/hour, there is a demand for 28 tutors per week. When the hourly rate rises to $17/hour, the demand drops to 16 tutors per week. On the other hand, at $11/hour, the service is able to support only 28 tutors per week, whereas at the rate of $17/hour, it is able to provide 58 tutors per week. Find the price per hour at which the number of tutors demanded and the number of tutors supplied will be equal.
Because of new federal regulations on pollution, a chemical plant introduced a new, more expensive process to supplement or replace an older process used in the production of a particular chemical. The older process emitted 40 grams of sulfur dioxide and 120 grams of particulate matter into the atmosphere for each gallon of chemical produced. The new process emits 5 grams of sulfur dioxide and 40 grams of particulate matter for each gallon produced. The company makes a profit of 80¢ per gallon and 20¢ per gallon on the old and new processes, respectively. Answer parts (A) through (C) below. (A) If the government allows the plant to emit no more than 36,000 grams of sulfur dioxide and 90,000 grams of particulate matter daily, how many gallons of the chemical should be produced by each process to maximize daily profit? Wha is the maximum daily profit? Summarize the model, Maximize Objective function subject to V 36,000 Sulfur dioxide constraint V 90,000 Particulate constraint х, у 2…
Two employees (Molly and Jim) must conduct a data analysis project on the success of a firm’s marketing efforts and then write a report of their findings for consideration by the firm’s board. If the first employee, Molly, worked completely alone, she could finish the data analysis component of the project with 30 hours of work and could write the report with an additional 10 hours of work. If Jim worked alone, he would take 48 hours of work to conduct the data analysis and then 12 hours to write the report. Assume that both employees need to contribute to the project, that there would be no benefits to having two people work on the same part of the project (data analysis and writing), and that working on the two parts are independent (i.e. there is no benefit to working on both parts). Which employee has the comparative advantage in conducting the data analysis? Explain
A company produces three types of bookcases: Standard, Deluxe, and Premium. Each bookcase must be sanded, assembled and painted. The Standard model requires 1 hour to sand, 2 hours to assemble, and 1 hour to paint. The Deluxe model requires 2 hours to sand, 3 hours to assemble and 1 hour to paint. The Premium model requires 1 hour to sand, 4 hours to assemble and 2 hours to paint. There are 170 hours available for sanding, 320 hours for assembling and 130 hours for painting. How many of each product can be made? Solve using cramers rule. a. wriite the system of equations for this information. identify variables b. write and label each of the four determinants, do not evaluate. c. solve for only the first variable in the system. use co-factors and minors to solve the d determinant. label the answer
The 1-Dream company makes two different BLU-ray players, which are assembled on two different assembly lines. Line 1 can assemble 40 units of the BLU-Ray player and 55 units of the BLU-Ray player with DVR per hour, and line 2 can assemble 110 units of the BLU-Ray player and 195 units of the BLU-Ray player with DVR per hour. The company needs to produce at least 3,989 BLU-Ray players and 6,755 BLU-Ray player with DVR to fill an existing order. It cost $100 per hour to run line 1 and $310 per hour to run line 2, how many hours should each line run to fill the order at minimum cost? (Use x for line 1 hours and y for line 2 hours.)

Mr.and Mrs. Jack Sear own and operate Electronics City, a small electronics store. Jack Sear worked in the store as a child and while in college. Afterwards, he slowly took over the business from his parents as they retired and moved to Florida. Jack, his wife, Harriett, their three children, one full-time, and one part-time employee run the business. The store carries a large assortment of electronic parts, small electronic gadgets, cell phones, and computer tablets. Most of the year, during the week, it is rather quiet. Except during the three nights they are open and on Saturday, in which there is a steady stream of customers. At those busy times, everyone works, Jack, Harriet, the three children, the full-time employee and the part-time employee. The store is open 6 days a week, except Mondays. During the Christmas season, from Thanksgiving weekend until Christmas, records show that they average a total of 12,000 customers. However, during the Thanksgiving weekend and…
A company making Lubrication Products for vintage cars produces two blended oils, Smazka and Neftianikov. They make a profit of $5 per liter of Smazka and $4 per liter of Neftianikov. A liter of Smazka requires 0.4 liters of heavy oil and 0.6 liters of light oil. A liter of Neftianikov requires 0.8 liters of heavy oil and 0.2 liters of light oil. The company has 100 liters of heavy oil and 80 liters of light oil. How many liters of each product should they make to maximize profits and what level of profit they achieve?
U.S. Trucking pays its drivers $40,000 per year, while American Trucking pays its drivers $38,000 per year. For both firms, truck drivers average 240,000 miles per year. Truck driving jobs are the same regardless of which firm one works for, except that U.S. Trucking gives each of its trucks a safety inspection ever 50,000 miles, while American Trucking gives each of its trucks a safety inspection every 36,000 miles. This difference in safety inspection rates results in a different rate of fatal accidents between the two companies. In particular, one driver for U.S Trucking dies in an accident every 12 million miles while one driver for American Trucking dies in an accident every 15 million miles. What is the value of a trucker’s life implied by the compensating differential between the two firms?
Bexter Labs produces three products: A, B, and C.Bexter can sell up to 2000 units of product A, up to 3000 units of product B, and up to 5000 units of prod-uct C. Each unit of product C uses two units of A and three units of B and incurs $7 in processing costs. Prod-ucts A and B are produced from either raw material 1 or raw material 2. It costs $9 to purchase and process one unit of raw material 1. Each processed unit of raw mate-rial 1 yields two units of A and four units of B. It costs $5 to purchase and process a unit of raw material 2.Each processed unit of raw material 2 yields one unit ofA and three units of B. The unit prices for the products are: A, $10; B, $9; and C, $32. The quality levels ofeach product are: A, 7; B, 9; and C, 6. The average quality level of the units sold must be at least 8. Deter-mine how to maximize Bexter’s profit.
