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

Node.js, Express, and Nunjucks Templates?
CIT244 Program Project 3 Assignment As with any assigned program, do not wait until the last minute to start. Start early in the week the program is due so you can ask questions if you get stuck Node.js and Express and Nunjucks Templates We have gotten to the good stuff. There is a program similar to this assignment given as the last example in the lecture notes for the week that discusses node static files. This program will take more time that previous assignments. There are several examples you should study first, particularly the pizza order example program available in the examples programs folder for the week discussing static files. You should study and run the pizza order program before trying this program. The pseudo-company is called Sun or Fun, which offers cheap flights from Louisville to either Miami or Vegas. Here's a video of how it should work. NOTE: You will hear or see references to Handlebars in this video. We used to use Handlebars, but it will be Nunjucks that we…
