Explanation of Solution

Calculating the extra payment:

  • Let x1 be the number of pairs of shoes that were produced during the month “t” with non-overtime labor, ot be the number of pairs of shoes that were produced during month “t” with the overtime labor, it be the inventory of shoes at the end of month “t”, ht is the number of workers that were hired at the beginning of month “t”, ft be the number of workers who were fired at the beginning of month “t” and wt be the number of workers who were available for month “t”.
  • For the objective function, the following cost must be considered as worker’s salaries, hiring costs, firing costs, holding costs, overtime costs and raw-material costs.
  • Hence, the derived objective function is:
  • min z= 1500wt+1600ht+2000ft+30it+25×4ot+5(xt+ot)
  • min z= 1500wt+1600ht+2000ft+30it+105ot+5xt
  • for t=1,2,3,4.
  • The constraints are described where the first constraint for inventory is,
    • i1=50+x1+o1300
    • x1+o1i1=250
  • For the second month,
    • i2=i1+x2+o2500
    • i1+x2+o2i2=500
  • In the same way, for next two months,
    • x3+o3+i2i3=100
    • x4+o4+i3i4=100
  • The second constraint for relation available workers to hiring and firing the workers, for the first month,
    • w1=3+h1f1
    • w1+fh1=3
  • For the second month,
    • w2=w1+h2f2
    • w2+f2w1h2=0
  • In the same way, for next two months,
    • w3+f3w2h3=0
    • w4+f4w3h4=0
  • The third constraint for each month, the amount of shoes made with non-overtime labors is limited by the number of workers, here for the first month,
    • 4x1160w1
    • 4x1160w10
  • In the same way, for next three months,
    • 4x2160w20
    • 4x3160w30
    • 4x4160w40
  • The fourth constraint for each month, the amount of shoes made with overtime labor is limited by the number of workers, for the first month,
    • 4o120w1
    • 4o120w10
  • In the same way, for next three months,
    • 4o220w20
    • 4o320w30
    • 4o420w40
  • Hence, the obtained Linear Programming
  • min z= 1500wt+1600ht+2000ft+30it+105ot+5xt
  • for t=1,2,3,4.
  • Subjected to,
    • x1+o1i1=250
    • i1+x2+o2i2=500
    • x3+o3+i2i3=100
    • x4+o4+i3i4=100
    • w1+fh1=3
    • w2+f2w1h2=0
    • w3+f3w2h3=0
    • w4+f4w3h4=0
    • 4x1160w10
    • 4x2160w20
    • 4x3160w30
    • 4x4160w40
    • 4o120w10
    • 4o220w20
    • 4o320w30
    • 4o420w40
  • The following is the LINDO output for this Linear Programming:
  • min z=

Problem 5. An Electricity board charges the following rates mentioned in the table for the use of electricity. All users are charged Taka 50 as a meter charge for every month. If any user wants to change/replace his meter, he will be charged taka 2000. The monthly bill will be generated based on ● Customer Category ● Consumed Units ● Phase ● For Category 3 and 5 along with other parameters, you need to also consider flat rate, peak time, and off-peak time. Take input from the user, how many units were consumed during flat rate, peak, or off-peak time. ● Meter Charge Write a program to read the name of the user, Customer Category, Phase, number of units consumed and print out the monthly bill. Note that ● Phase, flat rate, peak time and off-peak time will be appeared based on the customer category. ● The monthly bill will be calculated following the number of Days in a month
