Chapter 5.2, Problem 38E
Project Design The Megabuck Hospital Corporation is to build a state-subsidized nursing home serving homeless patients as well as high-income patients. State regulations require that every subsidized nursing home must house a minimum of 1,000 homeless patients and no more than 750 high-income patients in order to qualify for state subsidies. The overall capacity of the nursing home is to be 2,1 00 patients. The board of directors, under pressure from a neighborhood group, insists that the number of homeless patients should not exceed twice the number of high income patients. Because of the state subsidy, the nursing home will make an average profit of $10,000 per month for every homeless patient it houses, whereas the profit per high-income patient is estimated at $8,000 per month. How many of each type of patient should the nursing home house to maximize profit? [HINT: See Example 3.]

The Megabuck Hospital Corp. is to build a state-subsidized nursing home catering to homeless patients as well as high-income patients. State regulations require that every subsidized nursing home must house a
minimum of 770 homeless patients and no more than 1,100 high-income patients in order to qualify for state subsidies. The overall capacity of the hospital is to be 2,100 patients. The board of directors, under
pressure from a neighborhood group, insists that the number of homeless patients should not exceed twice the number of high-income patients. Due to the state subsidy, the hospital will make an average profit
of $9,800 per month for every homeless patient it houses, whereas the profit per high-income patient is estimated at $7,900 per month. How many of each type of patient should it house in order to maximize
profit? HINT [See Example 3.] (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

Your company presently uses a crew of its own employees for all major maintenance. On average, 40 major repairs are performed each year at 24 lost production hours per repair. Keeping the crew costs $1,000,000 per year plus any lost production cost. Lost production costs are estimated at $2,500 per hour. Your company is considering replacing its in-housemaintenance work with an outside company (Ajax) working under an annual maintenance contract. This proposal will pay Ajax $2,000,000 per year but your company will still have to pay for all lost production time.Ajax claims that the time per repair will decrease because of the contractors’ substantial maintenance experience. Assuming the number of major repairs and the cost of lost production time remain the same, how much time per repair is the maximum allowable for Ajax to be the preferred alternative?

The current capacity is 5000 kwh. The demand for the current year is 4000 kwh, and demand is expected to increase by 1000 kwh in each succeeding year. At the beginning of each year, Hoosier Power must determine the amount of capacity to add, given the following inputs: ■ Any year in which capacity is added, a fixed cost of $120,000 is incurred plus a cost of $120 per kwh of capacity. ■ At most 10,000 kwh of capacity can be added in a single year. ■ It costs $25 per year to maintain a unit of capacity. ■ It costs $12 per year to produce a kwh. ■ If production does not meet demand, a shortage cost of $80 per kwh short is incurred. Develop a linear integer model to help Hoosier Power minimize its costs for the next 20 years.arrow_forward

Need help setting up the model in Excel for solverarrow_forwardEY Deluxe River Cruises operates a fleet of river vessels. The fleet has two types of vessels: a type A, x, vessei has 60 deluxe cabins and 160 standard cabins, whereas a type B vessel, y, has 80 deluxe cabins and 120 standard cabins. Under a charter agreement with the Odyssey Travel Agency, Deluxe River Cruises is to provide Odyssey with a minimum of 360 deluxe and 680 standard cabins for their 15-day cruise in May. It costs $58,000 to operate a type A vessel and $54,000 to operate a type B vessel for that period. (a) How many of each type of vessel should be used to keep the operating costs C to a minimum? The minimum is C = (b) Suppose C = cx + 54,000y. Find the range of values that the cost of operating a type A vessel, the coefficient c of x, can assume without changing the optimal solution. ≤CM (c) Find the range of values that Requirement 1 for deluxe cabins can assume. (Requirement 1 pertains to the deluxe cabin requirement.) < (Requirement 1) ≤ at (x, y) = (d) Find the shadow…arrow_forwardThe regional office of the Environmental Protection Agency annually hires second-year law students as summer interns to help the agency prepare court cases. The agency is under a budget and wishes to keep its costs at a minimum. However, hiring student interns is less costly than hiring full-time employees. Accordingly, the agency wishes to hire the maximum number of students without overstaffing. On the average, it takes two interns all summer to research a case. The interns turn their work over to staff attorneys, who prosecute the cases in the fall when the circuit court convenes. The legal staff coordinator has to place his budget request in June of the preceding summer for the number of positions he wishes to maintain. It is therefore impossible for him to know with certainty how many cases will be researched in the following summer. The data from the preceding summers are as follows Year: 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 Cases: 6…arrow_forward
