Technologies Corporation (RTC) manufactures two radar models to monitor the
speed of missiles. Deluxe model has an accuracy of plus or minus 2 km per hour, whereas standard
model has an accuracy of plus or minus 3 km per hour. For the next week, the company has orders for
160 units of deluxe model and 240 units of standard model. Although RTC purchases all the electronic
components used in both models, the plastic cases for both models are manufactured at a RTC plant in
Chicago. Each deluxe model case requires 4 minutes of injection-molding time and 6 minutes of
assembly time. Each standard model case requires 3 minutes of injection-molding time and 8 minutes
of assembly time. For next week the Chicago plant has 960 minutes of injection-molding time available
and 1728 minutes of assembly time available. The manufacturing cost is $10 per case for deluxe model
and $6 per case for standard model. Depending upon demand and the time available at the C
plant, RTC occasionally purchases…

- Seas Beginning sells clothing by mail order. An important question is when to strike a customer from the companys mailing list. At present, the company strikes a customer from its mailing list if a customer fails to order from six consecutive catalogs. The company wants to know whether striking a customer from its list after a customer fails to order from four consecutive catalogs results in a higher profit per customer. The following data are available: If a customer placed an order the last time she received a catalog, then there is a 20% chance she will order from the next catalog. If a customer last placed an order one catalog ago, there is a 16% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order two catalogs ago, there is a 12% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order three catalogs ago, there is an 8% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order four catalogs ago, there is a 4% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order five catalogs ago, there is a 2% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. It costs 2 to send a catalog, and the average profit per order is 30. Assume a customer has just placed an order. To maximize expected profit per customer, would Seas Beginning make more money canceling such a customer after six nonorders or four nonorders?arrow_forwardLemingtons is trying to determine how many Jean Hudson dresses to order for the spring season. Demand for the dresses is assumed to follow a normal distribution with mean 400 and standard deviation 100. The contract between Jean Hudson and Lemingtons works as follows. At the beginning of the season, Lemingtons reserves x units of capacity. Lemingtons must take delivery for at least 0.8x dresses and can, if desired, take delivery on up to x dresses. Each dress sells for 160 and Hudson charges 50 per dress. If Lemingtons does not take delivery on all x dresses, it owes Hudson a 5 penalty for each unit of reserved capacity that is unused. For example, if Lemingtons orders 450 dresses and demand is for 400 dresses, Lemingtons will receive 400 dresses and owe Jean 400(50) + 50(5). How many units of capacity should Lemingtons reserve to maximize its expected profit?arrow_forwardIf a monopolist produces q units, she can charge 400 4q dollars per unit. The variable cost is 60 per unit. a. How can the monopolist maximize her profit? b. If the monopolist must pay a sales tax of 5% of the selling price per unit, will she increase or decrease production (relative to the situation with no sales tax)? c. Continuing part b, use SolverTable to see how a change in the sales tax affects the optimal solution. Let the sales tax vary from 0% to 8% in increments of 0.5%.arrow_forward

One product, called a Liftmaster, is assembled from four components: a frame, a motor, two supports, and a metal strap. Frandec's production schedule calls for 5,500 Liftmasters to be made next month. Frandec purchases the motors from an outside supplier, but the frames, supports, and straps may be either manufactured by the company or purchased from an outside supplier. Manufacturing and purchase costs per unit are shown. Component Frame Support Min Strap Component Manufacturing Cost Frame Cutting constraint 21000 Milling constraint 25200 Three departments are involved in the production of these components. The time (in minutes per unit) required to process each component in each department and the available capacity (in hours) for the three departments are as follows.

- Urgently needarrow_forwardFormulate an LP model for this problemarrow_forwardA plant is being built to manufacture two product families A and B. The facility must produce 100,000 units of each family per year. Three technologies are available. Technology one costs $125,000 per system per year, and a system can produce 50,000 units of product A, or 25,000 units of product B. Technology two costs $65000 per year and can produce 45,000 of either product per year. A third technology exists that can only produce product B. The system could produce all 100,000 units for a cost of $180,000 per year. A. Find a good heuristic solution to the problem by first relaxing the integer restriction on purchasing processes and then rounding up the resultant acquisition variables. B. Other than expected cost, what factors should be considered?arrow_forward
- Can some help me solve this problem, it is kinda confusing. Thank youarrow_forward11. Solve the given question and give the correct answer.arrow_forwardAn energy company owns a power plant that generates electricity using a steam turbine. Coal is used to generate steam due to the presence of rich coal deposits in the campus. As it is known, some environmental standards must be followed regarding the use of coal in energy production. According to these standards; The acceptable amount of sulfur dioxide emitted to the environment is 2000 particles per million, and the amount of smoke is 20 kg per hour. The company uses two different qualities of powder coal, C1 and C2, in its steam facility. These two qualities of powder coal are mixed before use. It is accepted that the environmental pollution caused by sulfur is the weighted average of the amount of each quality coal used in the mixture. The data in the table below is obtained from two different quality coal when 1 ton per hour is used. Establish the linear programming (DP) model that gives the best mixing ratio of the two coals and determine the best solution?arrow_forward
