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?

The roses cost 0.2 dollars to grow and sell for 6.2 dollars. The carnations cost 0.6 dollars to grow and sell for 7.6 dollars. After conducting studies of customer demand, the store has determined they should stock 3 times as many roses as carnations. If they have a budget of 526.8 dollars for growing flowers, and they need to take in 8651.8 dollars of revenue, how many lilies, roses, and carnations should they grow?

- ANSWER THE FOLLOWING A company produces two types of tables, T1 and T2. It takes 2 hours to produce the parts of one unit of T1, 1 hour to assemble and 2 hours to polish. It takes 4 hours to produce the parts of one unit of T2, 2.5 hour to assemble and 1.5 hours to polish. Per month, 7000 hours are available for producing the parts, 4000 hours for assembling the parts and 5500 hours for polishing the tables. The profit per unit of T1 is $90 and per unit of T2 is $110. Set T1 = X1 ; T2 =X2 ; Z=Profit Profit Equation would be: a. Z= 90 x1 + 110 x2 b. Z= 1.5 x1 + 2.5 x2 c. Z= 2 x1 + 3 x2 d. Z= 110 x1 + 90 x2 (2) The solution set of the system of inequalities are the following, except? a. x1+2.5x2≥4000 b. 2x1+1.5x2≤5500 c. x1≥0 d. 2x1+4x2≤7000 (3) How many of type A of tables should be produced in order to maximize the total monthly profit? a. 2,300 b. 2,750 c. 1,750 d. 1,500 (4) How many of type B of tables should be produced in order to maximize the total…arrow_forwardAccounting procedures allow a business to evaluate its inventory costs based on two methods: LIFO (last in first out) or FIFO (first in first out). A manufacturer evaluated its finished goods inventory (in $000s) for five products with the LIFO and FIFO methods. To analyze the difference, they computed FIFO − LIFO for each product. Based on the following results, does the LIFO method result in a lower cost of inventory than the FIFO method?

- On average, 275 customers arrive per hour at a huge branch of a Bank. It takes an average of two minutes to serve each customer. It costs $15 per hour to keep a teller window open, and the bank estimates that it will lost $50 in future profits for each hour that a customer waits in line. How many teller windows should the Bank keep open? 11 12 13 14arrow_forwardAnimal population densities are important to those who manage wildlife. This is particularly true when animals pose risks to humans. Managing the population of grizzly bears in the surrounds of a park is one example. Let's say that the park in question is 2,962 square miles. Additionally, the bears roam a surrounding area that is 60% as large as the park. Although their territories overlap considerably, let's say each bear needs at least 15 square miles to himself/herself to call home. If there are about 2 adult female bears for every 1 adult male bear, then approximately how many female bears can be supported in and around the park? Remember: There are 315 bears in total in the park.arrow_forwardIn the 1997, rice was selling at Rs. 6 per kg, cloth at Rs. 20 per metre, housing at Rs. 500 per quarter, other items at Rs. 20 per unit. In 1998, the price of rice rose by Rs. 2 per kg., housing by Rs. 300 per quarters and other items doubled in price. If the consumer price index number for 1998 (with 1997 as base) is 180, by how much the cloth rose in price during the year.arrow_forward
