Chapter 4.3, Problem 46E

Problems 45-48 involve three variables. Solve them with the simplex method, Excel, or some other technology.

Medicine A medical clinic performs three types of medical tests that use the same machines. Tests A, B, and C take 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour, respectively, with respective profits of $150, $250, and $500. The clinic has four machines available. One person is qualified to do test A, two to do test B, and one to do test C. If the clinic has a rush of customers for these tests, how many of each type should it schedule in a 12-hour day to maximize its profit?

This problem involves a carnival fishpond. Assume that the pond contains 110 fish: 91 green, 18 blue, and 1 silver. A contestant pays $0.60 to randomly catch one fish and receives $0.25 if the fish is green, $1.00 if the fish is blue, and $13.00 if the fish is silver. How much (on average) does the carnival gain on each play? (If the carnival looses money, enter a negative dollar amount)
The inventor of a new game believes that the variable cost of producing the game is $1.95 per unit, and the fixed costs for a month are $8000. He sells the game to retailers for $5.00 each. Give the net profit or loss if the inventor makes and sells 150,000 games in a month. IF LOSS, enter NEGATIVE amount.
Suppose a company makes miniature pienic tables for squirrels and racoons. In order to make these tables, the one for squirrels requires 5 feet of lumber and profits $8; whereas the one for TAccoons requires 12 feet of lumber, and profits $15. The company knows that the ones for squirrels are more popular and so would like to make at least twice as many squirrel tables as racoon tables. However, they only have 180 feet of lumber. How many of each type of picnic table should they make this week in order to maximize their profits? Transcribe the above problem into a linear programming problem using the following prompts. Circle one: MAXIMIZE MINIMIZE or Define your Variables: Objective Function: Constraining inequalities:
