Concept explainers
Suppose that a new company has five employees: Zamora. Agraharam. Smith, Chou, and Macintyre. Each employee will assume one of six responsibilities: planning, publicity, sales, marketing, development, and industry relations. Each employee is capable of doing one or more of these jobs: Zamora could do planning, sales, marketing, or industry relations; Agraharam could do planning or development; Smith could do publicity, sales, or industry relations; Chou could do planning, sales, or industry relations; and Macintyre could do planning, publicity, sales, or industry relations.
a) Model the capabilities of these employees using a bipartite graph.
b) Find an assignment of responsibilities such that each employee is assigned one responsibility.
c) Is the matching of responsibilities you found in part (b) a complete matching? Is it a maximum matching?

- A bakery has two ovens. Oven 1 can produce 3,000 loaf breads, 2,000 chocolate rolls, and 300 pita breads daily. Oven 2 can produce 2,000, 5,000, and 1,500 of the same products. The daily operating costs of Ovens 1 and 2 are $400 and $600, respectively. Find the number of days of operation of each oven so that the operation cost in filling an order of 18,000 loaf breads, 34,000 chocolate rolls, and 9,000 pita breads is minimized.Solve using: a) Graphical Method b) Simplex Methodarrow_forwardThe Collin Freight Company has an order for three products to be delivered to a destination.

Remington shells are used in the cabin next to the cabin where the man lives who shoots Canvasback ducks. The Problem:…arrow_forward
- The Phony TV company makes two different types of television sets, OLED and LED, which are assembled by two different assembly lines. When Line One operates it assembles 30 units of the OLED model and 50 units of the LED model per hour. Line Two assembles 40 units of the OLED model and 40 units of the LED model per hour. Let x be the number of hours that Line One operates and y the number of hours Line Two operates. Phony needs to produce at least 3000 units of the OLED model and 4000 units of the LED model to fill an order. (a) Write down the inequalities that describe the assembly constraints. (b) Graph the feasible region determined by these constraints.arrow_forwardOne of your duties is the selection and disposal of boxes of obsolete files.

- In a town, there are three clubs: Club A, Club B, and Club C. The number of members in each club is as follows: Club A has 40 members, Club B has 60 members, and Club C has 30 members. Some individuals are members of multiple clubs. If the number of individuals who are members of both Club A and Club B is 15, the number of individuals who are members of both Club A and Club C is 10, and the number of individuals who are members of both Club B and Club C is 5, how many individuals are members of at least one of the three clubs?arrow_forwardA famine relief effort is being mounted and there are three types of food bundles that can be flown out during each delivery. Bundle 1 has 4 kg. of flour, 4 kg. of sugar and 12 litres of water. Bundle 2 has 12 kg. of flour, 4 kg. of sugar and 4 litres of water and Bundle 3 has 8 kg. of flour, 8 kg. of sugar and 8 litres of water. The relief agency has 5200 kg. of flour, 3792 kg. of sugar and 6000 litres of water for each shipment. Bundle 1 can provide for 10 people between deliveries, Bundle 2 for 8 people and Bundle 3 for 11 people. How many bundles of each type should the relief agency send on each flight in order to maximize the number of people being fed. Do this problem by setting up a linear programming problem and determining the vertices of the feasibility set. Enter the number of bundles of types 1, 2, and 3 (in that order) into the answer box below, separated with commas.arrow_forwardThe Walters Manufacturing Company needs to know how best to use the time available within its three manufacturing departments in the construction and packaging of the three types of metal storage sheds.

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.
