Chapter B, Problem 11DQ
Summary Introduction
To compare: The corner point method and the iso-profit line method of solving graphical problems.
Introduction:
Linear programming:
It is a linear optimization technique followed to develop the best outcome for the problem in hand. The outcome might be of maximum profit or less cost which is represented by a linear relationship. The outcome will take into consideration the constraints present in achieving the solution.
Iso-profit line:
The iso-cost line will maximize the objective function inside the feasible region.
Corner point:
A corner point is a vertex in the feasible region. The corner points will only occur in the corners of a feasible region. The corner points are defined after making the graphical view of the feasible region.

- The Marketing Manager of Dotcom Limited has conducted a market research on the price-demand relationship for its consumer durable Product-V which has been recently launched. The price-demand pattern will be as follows: Price per unit (Rs.) 16.650 16.050 14.400 13.050 Product-V is manufactured in batches of 1.000 units. The production manager of Dotcom Limited has also researched and studies the pattern and believes that 50% of the variable manufacturing cost would have a learning effect. This learning curve effect will continue up to 4.000 units of production at constant rate But after 4.000 units of production unit variable manufacturing cost would be equal to the unit cost at the 4 batch. The manufacturing unit cost of the first batch will be Rs. 6.600 of which only 50% is subjected to learning and experience curve effect. The average unit variable of all 4 batches will be Rs 6.180 The price and maximum contribution at which Dotcom Limited should sell Product-V is: Rs.14,400, Rs.…arrow_forwardQuality Foods Case Quality Foods, Inc. first started as a single family operated restaurant in southern New Jersey providing high quality meals at reasonable prices and using fresh local ingredients. The business grew and Quality Foods expanded to operating multiple restaurants.

Besides quality and price, Quality Foods management also ascertains that the speed of service is critical to the success of their company. Based on preliminary observations, they found that their service delivery times were lacking when compared to their main competitors. From their studies, it appears that their restaurants provided slower and erratic service, when compared to their competitors.

- A company is operating in two unrelated businesses. The first one is making common salt, which is sold in one kilogram consumer packs. The second business is making readymade garments. The owner of the businesses has decided to implement Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) in one of the two businesses, which is likely to give him greater benefit. Assuming that the current turnover and profits of both the units are comparable, compare the relative benefits and limitations of Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) for these two businesses.arrow_forwardSM5 Infinity Enterprises, a large organization with seven business units, recently prepared a BCG Growth-Share Matrix to evaluate whether it has a balanced portfolio of businesses.
