Profit The Ball Company manufactures three types of lamps, labeled A, B, and C. Each lamp is processed in two departments, I and II. Total available work-hours per day for departments I and II are 400 and 600, respectively. No additional labor is available. Time requirements and profit per unit for each lamp type are as follows:
The company has assigned you as the accounting member of its profit planning committee to determine the numbers of types of A, B, and C lamps that it should produce in order to maximize its total profit from the sale of lamps. The following questions relate to a linear programming model that your group has developed. (For each part, choose one of the four answers.)
- (a) The coefficients of the objective function would be
- (1) 4, 2, 3.
- (2) 2, 3, 1.
- (3) 5, 4, 3.
- (4) 400, 600.
- (b) The constraints in the model would be
- (1) 2, 3, 1.
- (2) 5, 4, 3.
- (3) 4, 2, 3.
- (4) 400, 600.
- (c) The constraint imposed by the available work-hours in department I could be expressed as
- (1) 4X1 + 2X2 + 3X3 ≤ 400.
- (2) 4X1 + 2X2 + 3X3 ≥ 400.
- (3) 2X1 + 3X2 + 1X3 ≤ 400.
- (4) 2X1 + 3X2 + 1X3 ≥ 400.

- A campus student group is raising funds for charity by selling cups of boba tea. The expenses incurred by this student group are the cost of materials, estimated at $2 per cup (tea, boba, milk, sugar, cups, the big honking straws, napkins, etc.) and the $150 cost of renting the brewing and cooking space. The group will charge students $4 for each cup.a. Write down the associated cost, revenue, and profit functions. b. How many cups of boba must they sell to break even?c. What profit (or loss) results from the sale of 50 cups?arrow_forwarddistributor of automotive parts is considering ordering and inventory policy for a new make of tire. This is a specialty item; annual demand is only 2000 units. The cost of placing an order is $100, and annual inventory holding costs are estimated at 20% of the cost of an item. The price paid for the new tires will vary depending on the order quantity according to the following schedule: Order Quantity Less than 100 100 to 599 600 to 1199 1200 or more Cost per Unit $61 $60 $59 $58 Analyze this data to determine the Economic Order Quantity for this inventory item.arrow_forwardThe per-unit amount of three different production costs for Thunderbird, Inc., are as follows: Cost A(per unit) Cost B(per unit) Cost C(per unit) Production = 16,000 $32 24 $19.20 Production = 64,000 $8 8.00 $19.20 What type of cost is each?arrow_forward
- STAR Co. provides paper to smaller companies with volumes that are not large enough to warrant dealing directly with the paper mill. STAR receives 100-feet-wide paper rolls from the mill and cuts the rolls into smaller rolls of widths 12, 15, and 30 feet. The demands for these widths vary from week to week. The following cutting patterns have been established. Min s.t. 12-ft Pattern Number 15-ft 30-ft 1 2 P1, P2, P3 P4 P5 ≥ 0 3 4 5 12-ft 15-ft 30-ft Trim Loss (ft) 0 0 8 3 7 6 0 0 0 1 C 3 0 2 0 10 Trim loss is the leftover paper from a pattern (e.g., for pattern 4, 3(12) + 0(15) + 2(30) = 96 feet used results in 100 - 96 = 4 foot of trim loss). Orders in hand for the coming week are 5,680 12- foot rolls, 1,690 15-foot rolls, and 3,360 30-foot rolls. Any of the three types of rolls produced in excess of the orders in hand will be sold on the open market at the selling price. No inventory is held. 10 Formulate an integer programming model that will determine how many 100-foot rolls to cut…arrow_forwardYou are employed as a business analyst for a company that manufactures household products based in Tanzania. the items are sold by sales agents who do so during their spare time. the company has recruited four agents: Ann, Mary, Tom and Henry.

Water samples were taken at four different locations in a river in an effort to determine if water pollution varied from location to location. Location I was 500 meters above an industrial plant water discharge point and near the shore. Location II was 200 meters above the discharge point and in midstream. Location III was 50 meters downstream from the discharge point and near the shore. Location IV was 200 meters downstream from the discharge point and in midstream. The following table shows the results. Lower dissolved oxygen readings mean more pollution. Because of the difficulty in getting midstream samples, ecology students collecting the data had fewer of these samples. Use a 5% level of significance. Do we reject or not reject the claim that the quantity of dissolved oxygen does not vary from one location to another?
