Summary Introduction
To determine: The optimal number of coffee tables and book cases and the profit using linear programming.
Introduction:
Linear programming:
It is a linear optimization technique followed to develop the best outcome for the linear programming problem. The outcome might be to maximize profit, minimize cost, or to determine the optimal product mix. The outcome will take the constraints present in achieving the solution into consideration.

. A commercial orchard grows, picks, and packs apples and pears. A peck (quarter bushel) of apples takes 4 minutes to pick and 5 minutes to pack; a peck of pears takes 5 minutes to pick and 4 minutes to pack. Only one picker and one packer are available. How many pecks each of apples and pears should be picked and packet every hour (60 minutes) if the profit is $3/peck for apples and $2/peck for pears? Solve graphically as a linear program and confirm analytically.
List the system of inequalities which describe B in the graph below.ECON1003 Mathematics for Social Sciences Unit 3_Version 1 Page 33

- XYZ Corporation manufactures two products, Simple and Complex. The following annual information was gathered: Simple Complex Selling price per unit P47.00 P26.00 Variable cost per unit 42.00 22.00 Total annual fixed costs are P18,000. Assume XYZ Corporation can produce and sell any mix of Simple or Complex at full capacity. It takes one hour to make one unit of Complex. However, Simple takes 50% longer to manufacture when compared to Complex. Only 120,000 hours of plant capacity are available. How many units of Simple and Complex should XYZ Corporation produce and sell in a year to maximize profits?arrow_forward30) XYZ Company The XYZ Company uses 175 handles per day. The company operates 300 days per year. It costs $2.00 to carry one handle in inventory for one year. When handle inventory is low, an order is sent to the fabrication department to manufacture more handles. Fabrication can produce handles at a rate of 1500 per day and send the handles over to assembly while production is in progress. The setup for each production run costs $500. Assume the XYZ company orders 9,000 handles at a time (not necessarily the economic order quantity). The order receipt period = _____ days.

Delta is trying to reduce warehousing costs and establishes three policies to that end: i) The annual number of orders for all products must be at least 20 per contractual terms with transportation providers. ii) The average inventory in units must be a maximum of 1800. iii) Because the raw material is perishable, there can never be more than 2000 units in inventory of raw material 1. Raw material 2 has a maximum allowed of 1200 units and the raw material 3 can store maximum 400 units.

- 2.28 A foundry produces castings to order. An order for 20 special castings has been re- ceived. Since the casting process is highly variable, not all castings produced are good. The cost of producing each casting is $550; the additional cost of finishing a good casting is $125. If a casting is not good, it is recycled at a value of $75; excess good castings are not finished but are recycled at a value of $75. The customer has agreed to accept 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 castings at a price of $1250 each. If fewer than 15 good castings are produced, none will be purchased by the customer. Prob- ability distributions for the number of good castings produced in a batch of varying sizes are given below. How many castings should be scheduled in order to maximize expected profit? #Good Castings 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 79 2 PRODUCT, PROCESS, AND SCHEDULE DESIGN Number of Castings Scheduled 15 16 17 0.05 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.05 0.05 0.00…arrow_forwardCPG Bagels starts the day with a large production run of bagels. Throughout the morning additional bagels are produced as needed. The last bake is completed at 3 pm, and the store closes at 8 pm. It costs approximately $0.56 in materials and labor to make a bagel. The price of a fresh bagel is $2.29. Bagels not sold by the end of the previous day are sold the next day as "day- old" bagels for $0.15 each. CPG Bagels uses the Newsvendor model to management the inventory of the bagels. The critical ratio %. Report the answer without the percentage sign and keep one decimal in your answer.

- Motorama TV estimates the annual demand for its TVsis (and will be in the future) normally distributed, with amean of 6,000 and standard deviation of 2,000. Motorama must determine how much production capacity it shouldhave. The cost of building enough production capacity tomake 1,000 sets per year is $1,000,000 (equivalent in presentvalue terms to a cost of $100,000 per year forever). Exclusiveof the cost of building capacity, each set sold contributes$250 to profits.

Every 30 days, Ali places an order to replenish his cup inventory. It takes 3 days for the order to arrive, at which point it brings the inventory level up to 4000 cups. It costs Ali $30 to have the order processed. Select all statements that apply to Ali's situation: Group of answer choices a) Ali uses a Continuous Inventory System b) d is constant c) Ali uses a Periodic Inventory System d) Ali uses a Fixed-Order-Quantity Inventory System e) Maximum Inventory Level is constantarrow_forwardA company manufactures hair dryers. It buys some of the components, but it makes the heating elements, which it can produce at the rate of 800 per day. Hair dryers are assembled daily, 250 days a year, at a rate of 300 per day. Because of the disparity between the production and usage rates, the heating elements are periodically produced in batches of 2,000 units. Approximately how many batches of heating elements are produced annually? If production on a batch begins when there is no inventory of heating elements on hand, how much inventory will be on hand two days later? The same equipment that is used to make the heating elements could also be used to make a component for another of the firm’s products. That job would require four days, including setup. Setup time for making a batch of heating elements is a half day. Is there enough time to do this job between productions of batches of heating elements? Explain.arrow_forward
- d) A company can produce three products A, B and C. the products yield a contribution of Kshs.8, 5 and 10 respectively. The products use a machine which has 400 hours capacity. Each unit of the product uses 2, 3 and 1 hour respectively of the machines capacity. There are only 150 units available in the period of a special component which is used singly in product A and C. Only 200kgs of a special alloy is available in the period. The usage of special alloy is 2kgs per unit and 4kgs per unit respectively. There is an agreement with a trade association to produce no more than 50 units of product B in the period.
