Chapter 9, Problem 4P
Hawkins Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylindcr automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $2,000, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,500. Manufacturing costs are $15 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $18 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. There is no production on weekends, so on Friday the line is disassembled and cleaned. On Monday, the line must be set up to run whichever product will be produced that week. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,000 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let
x4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week
x6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week
s4 = 1 if the production line is set up to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods; 0 if otherwise
s6 = 1 if the production line is set up to produce the 6-cylinder connecting rods; 0 if otherwise
- a. Using the decision variables x4 and s4, write a constraint that sets next week’s maximum production of the 4-cylinder connecting rods to either 0 or 8,000 units.
- b. Using the decision variables x6 and s6, write a constraint that sets next week’s maximum production of the 6-cylinder connecting rods to either 0 or 6,000 units.
- c. Write a constraint that requires that production be set up for exactly one of the two rods.
- d. Write the cost
function to be minimized.

Question 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table.
Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points)
Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points)
