The Nueva Ecija Feeds Inc. Produces specially blended feed supplements. It has an order of no more than 400 pounds of the mixture. This consists of two ingredients: P, a source of Protein and C, a carbohydrate source. The first ingredient P, costs P6 a pound. The second ingredient C, costs P16 a pound. The mixture cannot be more than 150 pounds P, and it must have at least 200 pounds C. The company’s problem is to determine how much of each ingredient to use to minimize cost, but satisfy the requirements.

The operations manager, Ms. Priya Johnson, is trying to determine the amount of fertilizer that should be applied to a particular lawn in a residential area in San Juan. Ms. Johnson’s analysis has determined that the lawn needs at least 60kg of Nitrogen, 24kg of Phosphorous compounds and 40kg of Potassium compounds for the current season. After checking nearby home and garden centres, Ms. Johnson has found that one of the suppliers is currently having a sale on packaged fertilizer. One type on sale called Xynis, is a 20-5-20 mixture, containing 20% Nitrogen, 5% phosphorous compounds and 20% potassium compounds. It sells at $4 for a 20kg bag. The other type called Yield-all is a 10-10-5 mixture (10% Nitrogen, 10% phosphorous compounds and 5% potassium compounds) selling for $5 for a 40kg bag. Ms. Johnson would like to know how many bags of each type she…
Researchers are investigating the effectiveness of using a fungus to control the spread of an insect that destroystrees. The researchers will create four different concentrations of fungus mixtures: 0 milliliters per liter (ml/L),1.25 ml/L, 2.5 ml/L, and 3.75 ml/L. An equal number of the insects will be placed into 20 individual containers.The group of insects in each container will be sprayed with one of the four mixtures, and the researchers willrecord the number of insects that are still alive in each container one week after spraying. (c) Describe how the treatments can be randomly assigned to the experimental units so that each treatmenthas the same number of units.
Southwest Hospital has an operating room used only for eye surgery. The annual cost of rent, heat, and electricity for the operating room and its equipment is $360,000, and the annual salaries of the people who staff this room total $540,000. Each surgery performed requires the use of $760 worth of medical supplies and drugs. To promote good will, every patient receives a bouquet of flowers the day after surgery. In addition, one-quarter of the patients require dark glasses, which the hospital provides free of charge. It costs the hospital $30 for each bouquet of flowers and $40 for each pair of glasses. The hospital receives a payment of $2000 for each eye operation performed. 1. Identify the revenue per case and the annual fixed and variable costs for running the operating room. 2. How many eye operations must the hospital perform each year in order to break even? 3. Southwest Hospital currently averages about 70 eye operations per month. One of the nurses has just learned about a…
Ocean water contains 0.9 ounces of gold per ton. Method A costs $550 per ton of waterprocessed and will recover 90% of the metal. Method B costs $400 per ton of waterprocessed and will recover 60% of the metal. The two methods require the same capitalinvestment and are capable of producing the same amount of gold each day. If the extractedgold can be sold for $1,750 per ounce, which method should be recommended? The supplyof ocean water is essentially unlimited.
