Chapter B, Problem 29P

a)

Summary Introduction

To graph: The feasible region and determine the optimal solution.

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.

Feasible region:

A feasible region is a solution space which contains all the possible points of an optimization problem. The region will be formed after satisfying the constraints in the problem which includes inequalities and integer constraints. It is the area that is bounded by the constraints of the problem.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The total cost of the optimal solution.

Ruby-Star Incorporated is considering two different vendors for one of its top-selling products which has an average weekly demand of 40 units and is valued at $80 per unit. Inbound shipments from vendor 1 will average 340 units with an average lead time (including ordering delays and transit time) of 2 weeks. Inbound shipments from vendor 2 will average 550 units with an average lead time of 1 week. Ruby-Star operates 52 weeks per year; it carries a 2-week supply of inventory as safety stock and no anticipation inventory. a. The average aggregate inventory value of the product if Ruby-Star used vendor 1 exclusively is $ (Enter your response as a whole number.)
The Carbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of a new ambulance. The decision will rest partly on the anticipated mileage to be driven next year. The miles driven during the past 5 years are as follows: Year Mileage 1 3,000 2 3 4 4,000 3,450 3,850 5 3,800 a) Using a 2-year moving average, the forecast for year 6 = miles (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) If a 2-year moving average is used to make the forecast, the MAD based on this = miles (round your response to one decimal place). (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.) c) The forecast for year 6 using a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of 0.40 and 0.60 (the weight of 0.60 is for the most recent period) = ☐ miles (round your response to the nearest whole number). miles (round your response to one decimal place). (Hint: You will have only 3 years of The MAD for the forecast developed using a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of 0.40 and 0.60 = matched data.) d) Using…
