Valencia Products makes automobile radar detectors and assembles two models: LaserStop and SpeedBuster. Both models use the same electronic components. After reviewing the components required and the profit for each model, the firm found the following linear optimization model for profit, where L is the number of LaserStop models produced and S is the number of SpeedBuster models produced. Implement the linear optimization model on a spreadsheet and use Solver to find an optimal solution. Interpret the optimal solution, identify the binding constraints, and verify the values of the slack variables. Maximize Profit 123 L+ 137 S 18 L+11 S≤ 5000 6L+8S≤4500 L≥0 and S≥0 (Availability of component A) (Availability of component B) Implement the linear optimization model and find an optimal solution. Interpret the optimal solution. The optimal solution is to produce LaserStop models and SpeedBuster models. This solution gives the (Type integers or decimals rounded to two decimal places as…

Asia Aerials (AA) manufactures satellite dishes for receiving satellite television signals. AA supplies the major satellite TV companies that install standard satellite dishes for their customers. The company also manufactures and installs a small number of specialized satellite dishes to individuals or businesses with specific needs resulting from poor reception in their locations. The chief executive officer (CEO) wants to initiate a program of cost reduction at AA. His plan is to use activity-based management (ABM) to allocate costs more accurately and to identify non-value-adding activities. The first department to be analyzed is the customer care department, as it has been believed for some time that the current method of cost allocation is giving unrealistic results for the two product types. At present, the finance director (FD) absorbs the cost of customer care into the product cost on a per-unit basis using the data in table 1. He then tries to correct the problem of…
