Question:
Round Tree Manor is a hotel that provides two types of rooms with three rental classes: Super Saver, Deluxe, and Business. The profit per night for each type of room and rental class is as follows:
Rental Class
Room Super Saver Deluxe Business
Type I $35$ 37—
Type II $24 $34$ 43
Type I rooms do not have wireless Internet access and are not available for the Business rental class.
Round Tree's management makes a forecast of the demand by rental class for each night in the future. A linear programming model developed to maximize profit is used to determine how many reservations to accept for each rental class. The demand forecast for a particular night is 120 rentals in the Super Saver class, 65 rentals in the Deluxe class, and 40 rentals in the Business class. Round Tree has 105 Type I rooms and 115 Type II rooms.
Use linear programming to determine how many reservations to accept in each rental class and how the reservations should be allocated to room types.…

Two Architectural Companies have provided building plans and technical schematics for the project. Management are happy with the proposals of both Standard apartment and Deluxe apartment. After investigating the steps involved in construction, management determined that each apartment complex built will require some resources. Management analysed each of the bids and concluded that if the plans of Standard apartment are built, it requires 0.7 days in foundation works, 0.5 days in the masonry, 1 day in finishing, and 0.1 days in painting works. Deluxe apartment will require 1 day in foundation works, 0.83 days in the masonry, 0.67 days in finishing, and 0.25 days in the painting works. Management estimate that, 630 days for foundation works, 600 days for masonry, 708 days for finishing and 135 days for painting works…arrow_forward
- Question: Develop a problem statement for the scenario given below by considering the variables involved? Suppose you are a manager of a beverage company. You have recently witnessed a sudden decrease in sales. It has been widely accepted that due to Covid-19, the purchasing power of consumers has been declined. On the other hand in such situations, sales personnel avoid roaming for selling to avoid contact. The sudden decrease in the number of hours work and alternate shifts due to Covid-19 SOPs also resulted in a low-profit margin. You have to figure out the actual reason for the decline in sales as a manager.arrow_forwardQuestion 11 Consider the following decision tree: .40 $3,000 4 .60 -$1,000 3 .20 $2,500 .80 1 $2,000 $1,800 What is the expected value associated with Node 2? 600 1550 2100 2500arrow_forwardQuestion 4 Belhana Restaurant Company operates a chain of branches at Alexandria and they like to start a new branch at north coast. The demand will be low, medium, or high; with probabilities are 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5, respectively. If they start a small branch that sells only take away sandwiches, the associated net payoffs are EGP 25,000; 30,0003; and 80,000 for low, medium, and high demand. If the company chooses an expanded facility that offers take away sandwiches and fast foods, it must build a new building and rent additional area. The net payoffs for an expanded facility are EGP (80,000), (27,000), and 48,000. Required: • Draw a decision tree for this case • What should the company do to maximize the net payoff?arrow_forward
