B: Iraq Glass Industries Company produces two types of products, A and B,
each one goes through two production stages. Product A needs 1 working hour
in the first phase, and 4 working hours in the second phase, while Product B
needs 2 working hours in the first phase, and 3 hours of work in the second
stage. If you know that the profit per unit of product A is $60, and the profit
per unit of product B is $50. The available weekly working hours in the first
stage are 40 hours, and in the second stage are 120 hours.
Required: Building a mathematical model that maximizes the company's
profits

- Balboa Industries’ Electronics Division is trying to reduce supply chain risk by making more responsible make/buy decisions through improved cost estimation. A high-use component (expected usage is 5000 units per year) can be purchased for $25 per unit with delivery promised within a week. Alternatively, Balboa can make the component inhouse and have it readily available at a cost of $5 per unit, if equipment costing $150,000 is purchased. Labor and other operating costs are estimated to be $35,000 per year over the study period of 5 years. Salvage is estimated at 10% offirst cost and i = 12% per year. Neglecting the element of availability (a) determine the breakeven quantity, and (b) recommend making or buying atthe expected usage level.arrow_forward4) A factory manufactures chairs, tables and bookcases each requiring the use of three operations: Cutting, Assembly, and Finishing. The first operation can be used at most 600 hours; the second at most 500 hours; and the third at most 300 hours. A chair requires 1 hour of cutting, 1 hour of assembly, and 1 hour of finishing; a table needs 1 hour of cutting, 2 hours of assembly, and 1 hour of finishing; and a bookcase requires 3 hours of cutting, 1 hour of assembly, and 1 hour of finishing. If the profit is $20 per unit for a chair, $30 for a table, and $25 for a bookcase, how many units of each should be manufactured to maximize profit?arrow_forwardIn a factory, the direct cost is also called variable cost because: O It is connected with the production It is changed according to the supply and demand O All of the choices O None of the choices O It is connected with fixed costarrow_forward
