Chapter 5, Problem 11RP

a.

Explanation of Solution

Cost function

  • Let ci be the number of cars produced at plant i.
  • From the LINDO output, the cost function value is determined by the equation C(x) = FC + V(x)

b.

Explanation of Solution

Smallest decrease

  • The new optimum solution value or profit is calculated by the given formula:

    New value = Old value – (Key column value × Key row value) / Key value

  • The key r

c.

Explanation of Solution

Production target

  • From the LINDO output, the total cost increases by 70.
  • Hence the cost of producing more cars is 70...

d.

Explanation of Solution

Fall of firm’s cost

  • From the LINDO output, when each type of labour is payed for an extra hour then its objective function coefficient will be increased to 45.
  • Here the productivity of labour is decreased from 1.5 hours to 1 hour per automobile.
  • Hence as a result, the solution remains optimal...

e.

Explanation of Solution

Increase in cost

  • From the LINDO output, if 2000 autos are produced, then the allowable increase will be 600.
  • As a result, here the current solution remains optimal...

f.

Explanation of Solution

Optimal solution

  • The new optimum solution value or profit is calculated by the given formula:

    New value = Old value – (Key column value × Key row value) / Key value

  • The key row value can be calculated by the given formula:

     Key row value = Current key row va

Draw a system/level-0 diagram for this scenario: You are developing a new customer relationship management system for the BEC store, which rents out movies to customers. Customers will provide comments on new products, and request rental extensions and new products, each of which will be stored into the system and used by the manager for purchasing movies, extra copies, etc. Each month, one employee of BEC will select their favorite movie pick of that week, which will be stored in the system. The actual inventory information will be stored in the Entertainment Tracker system, and would be retrieved by this new system as and when necessary. Example of what a level-0 diagram looks like is attached.
