Chapter 6, Problem 93P
This problem is based on Motorola’s online method for choosing suppliers. Suppose Motorola solicits bids from five suppliers for eight products. The list price for each product and the quantity of each product that Motorola needs to purchase during the next year are listed in the file P06_93.xlsx. Each supplier has submitted the percentage discount it will offer on each product. These percentages are also listed in the file. For example, supplier 1 offers a 7% discount on product 1 and a 30% discount on product 2. The following considerations also apply:
- There is an administrative cost of $5000 associated with setting up a supplier’s account. For example, if Motorola uses three suppliers, it incurs an administrative cost of $15,000.
- To ensure reliability, no supplier can supply more than 80% of Motorola’s demand for any product.
- A supplier must supply an integer amount of each product it supplies.
Develop a linear integer model to help Motorola minimize the sum of its purchase and administrative costs.

The sales of these products are not independent of each other, but rather if the price of one increase, the sales of the other will increase. In economics, these two camera models are called substitutable products. The store wishes to establish a pricing policy to maximize revenue from these products. A study of price and sales data shows the following relationships between the quantity sold (N) and prices (P) of each model: NA = 196 - 0.5PA + 0.35PB NB = 301 + 0.06PA - 0.6PB Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet. Develop a two-way data table to estimate the optimal prices for each product in order to maximize the total revenue. Vary each price from $250 to $500 in increments of $10.

He likes its $12,900 price, but financing through the dealer is no bargain. He has $2,500 cash for a down payment, so he needs an $10,400 loan. In shopping at several banks for an installment loan, he learns that interest on most automobile loans is quoted at add-on rates. That is, during the life of the loan, interest is paid on the full amount borrowed even though a portion of the principal has been paid back. Richard borrows $10,400 for a period of four years at an add-on interest rate of 10 percent. What is the total interest on Richard’s loan? What is the total cost of the car?arrow_forwardPrices of zero-coupon bonds reveal the following pattern of forward rates: Year Forward Rate 1 3 In addition to the zero-coupon bond, investors also may purchase a 3-year bond making annual payments of $50 with par value $1,000. a.
