Use the two steps for solving a linear programming problem, given in the box on page 300, to solve the problems in Exercises 17 – 23.
On June 24, 1948, the former Soviet Union blocked all land and water routes through East Germany to Berlin. A gigantic airlift was organized using American and British planes to bring food, clothing, and other supplies to the more than 2 million people in West Berlin. The cargo capacity was 30.000 cubic feet for and American plane and 20.000 cubic feet for a British plane. To break the Soviet blockade, the Western Allies had to maximize cargo, capacity, but were subject to the following restrictions:
NO more than 44 planes could be used.
The larger American planes required 16 personnel per flight, double that of the requirement for the British planes. The total number of personnel available could not exceed 512.
The cost of an American planes and the number of British flight was $ 5000. Total weekly costs could not exceed $ 300,000.
Find the number of American planes and the number of British planes that were used to maximize cargo capacity.

- Approaching the month of Ramadan, PT Prima Sehat predicts that there will be an increase in demand for electronic goods, both TVs and microwaves. All of these electronic products have the same processing process, but have different processing times. For TV requires 4 hours of electronic processing and 2 hours of assembly. While the microwave requires 3 hours of electronic processing time and 1 hour of assembly. Of the current capacity, there is a working time for electronics as much as 240 hours, and per work time as much as 100 hours. The profit for each product is 7 (in tens of thousands) and 5 (in tens of thousands). Please use the simplex method linear programming method to solve the above casearrow_forwardSuppose the coal and steel industries form a closed economy. Every $1 produced by the coal industry requires $0.30 of coal and $0.70 of steel. Every $1 produced by steel requires $0.80 of coal and $0.20 of steel. Find the annual production (output) of coal and steel if the total annual production is $20 million.arrow_forwardSo, what does "dynamic programming" really entail?arrow_forward
- Is there any "real world" implementation of dynamic programming?arrow_forwardAnela is a computer scientist who is formulating a large and complicated program for a type of data processing. She has three ways of storing and retrieving data: cloud storage, disk, or hard drive. As an experiment, she sets up her program in three different ways: one using cloud storage, one using disks, and the other using a hard drive. Then she makes four test runs of this type of data processing on each program. The time required to execute each program is shown in the following table (in minutes). Use a 0.01 level of significance to test the hypothesis that the mean processing time is the same for each method. Hard Drive Cloud Disks 8.8 7.5 7.1 8.8 9.2 6.6 8.0 7.2 10.2 7.6 7.9 8.0 (i) Give the value of the level of significance. (ii) Find the sample test statistic. (Round your F Ratio to two decimal places. Round all other answers to four decimal places.) (vi) In the case of one-way ANOVA, make a summary table. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)…arrow_forwardAnela is a computer scientist who is formulating a large and complicated program for a type of data processing.

- Kindly give me a detailed responsearrow_forwardThe Phony TV company makes two different types of television sets, OLED and LED, which are assembled by two different assembly lines. When Line One operates it assembles 30 units of the OLED model and 50 units of the LED model per hour. Line Two assembles 40 units of the OLED model and 40 units of the LED model per hour. Let x be the number of hours that Line One operates and y the number of hours Line Two operates. Phony needs to produce at least 3000 units of the OLED model and 4000 units of the LED model to fill an order. (a) Write down the inequalities that describe the assembly constraints. (b) Graph the feasible region determined by these constraints.arrow_forwardI need typed work. Not handwritten. A bank has two types of branches. A satellite branch employs 3 people, requires P2,500,000 to construct and open, and generates an average daily revenue of P4,000,000. A full-service branch employs 6 people, requires P5,500,000 to construct and open, and generates an average daily revenue of P7,000,000. The bank has up to P80,000,000 available to open new branches, and has decided to limit the new branches to a maximum of 20 and to hire at most 120 employees. How many branches of each type should the bank open in order to maximize the average daily revenue? REQUIREMENTS: 1. Formulate the LP Model; 2. Identify the decision variables used in the model; and 3. Determine the optimal solution.arrow_forward
- . Embassy motorcycles (EM) manufactures two lightweight motorcycles designed for easy handling and safety. The EZ-Rider model has a new engine and a low profile that make it easy to balance. The Lady-Sport model is slightly larger uses a more traditional engine, and is specifically designed to appeal to women riders. Embassy produces the engines for both models at its Des Moines, Iowa, plant. Each EZ-Rider engine require 6 hours of manufacturing time and each Lady-sport engine requires 3 hours of manufacturing time. The Des Moines plant has 2100 hours of engine manufacturing time available for the next production period. Embassy’s motorcycle frame supplier can supply as many EZ-Rider frames as needed. However, the Lady-Sport frame is more complex and the supplier can provide only up to 280 Lady sport frames for the next production period. Final assembly and testing requires 2 hours for each EZ-Rider model and 2.5 hours for each Lady-Sport model. A maximum of 1000 hours of assembly and…arrow_forward4. A furniture factory receives a daily shipment of 50 boards of oak and 60 boards of maple, which they use to make cabinets and tables. Each cabinet uses two oak boards and two maple boards and yields a profit of $80. Each table uses two oak boards and three maple boards and yields a profit of $100. How many cabinets and tables should the factory make daily to maximize profit?arrow_forwardQuestion 3Bob is a young entrepreneur who recently graduated from UPSA and using three different ingredient (flour, sugar and butter) to produce three different kinds cakes namely Boban, Boapp and Bopine to be supplied to a pastries store at Shoprite. In order to produce a dozen cakes of Boban requires 5g each of flour, sugar and butter. Also, producing Boapp requires 15g each of butter and sugar together with 20g of flour while producing Bopine requires 15g each of sugar and flour, and 20g of butter.
