The Video Star Company makes two different models of VCR's, which are assembled on two different assembly lines. Line 1 can assemble 30 units of the Star model and 40 units of the Prostar model per hour, and line 2 can assemble 150 units of the Star model and 40 units of Prostar model per hour. The company needs to produce at least 270 units of the Star model and 200 units of the Prostar model to fill an order. If it costs $200 per hour to run line 1 and $400 per hour to run line 2, how many hours should each line be run to fill the order at the minimum cost? What is the minimum cost? (Use the graphical method to solve the optimization problem given.)

Henry Lee is the Vice President of Purchasing for the consumer electronics division of the Major Electric Corporation (MEC). The company recently introduced a new type of video camcorder that has taken the market by storm. Although Henry is pleased with the strong demand for this product in the market place, it has been a challenge to keep up with MEC's distributors' orders of this camcorder. His current challenge is how to meet requests from MEC's major distributors in Pittsburgh, Denver, Baltimore, and Houston who have placed orders of 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 25,000 units, respectively, for delivery in 2 months (there is a 1-month manufacturing and one-month shipping lead time for this product). MEC has contracts with companies in Hong Kong, Korea, and Singapore who manufacture camcorders for the company under the MEC label. These contracts require MEC to order a specified minimum number of units each month at a guaranteed per unit cost. The contracts also specify the maximum…
A publishing company sells 400,000 copies of a certain book each year. Ordering the entire amount printed at the beginning of the year ties up valuable storage space and capital. However, printing the copies in several partial runs throughout the year results in added costs for setting up each printing run, which costs $1000. The carrying costs, figured on the average number of books in storage, are $.50 per book. Find the most economical lot size, that is, the production run size that minimizes the total setting up andcarrying costs.

Telefonika is a telecommunication company, located in the Accra Mall, selling mobile phones and accessories. Most of their new phones are ordered. But, Telefonika stocks three main phones for walk-in customers. Every week, they generate profit of GH¢600 from selling Galaxy S2, GH¢400 from Galaxy S3 and GH¢300 from Galaxy S4. The overall weekly cost of these types of phones are GH¢1,800, GH¢2,100 and GH¢1,200 respectively. This week, Telefonika has a budget of GH¢12,000 available to buy these three types of phones. During sales, each phone type must be unpacked, leading to 8 hours of unpacking time for S2 phones, 12 hours for S3 phones and 16 hours for S4 phones. The manager estimates that he and his workers have 120 labour hours available to unpack the three types of phones. Telefonika has enough space to order 20 phones this week. The manager also wants to stock at least twice as many S4 as S2 and S3 phones because S4 phones sell better.a) Formulate a linear programming model for this…
You're a construction engineer and one of your responsibilities is to estimate and schedule construction workers to complete projects. You've been given the job to frame a house and you know that 20 workers can complete the job in 12 days if the number of working hours per day is 8. However, you only have a construction crew of 17 workers and your contract requires that you complete the framing in 8 days. If the job is to be completed in 8 days with 17 workers, what will be the working hours per day? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour.
