HELP
Mark has a company that produces tables and chairs, both having two different models. The product models and related information are given in the following table.
Wood costs 3000 $ per cubic meter and 200 m3 of wood are available for the upcoming month. The cost of labor is 40 $/hour and there are 6000 hours of labor available in a month. Mark sells his products to a big chain retail company. The company purchases all products whatever Mark produces.
Mark formulates an LP as follows to determine the optimal monthly production plan such that he maximizes the total profit.
Decision Variables:
X1 : number of basic tables to be produced.
X2 : number of elegant tables to be produced.
X3 : number of basic chairs to be produced.
X4 :number of elegant chairs to be produced.
Max Z = 140 X1 + 345 X2 + 120 X3 + 260 X4 ( maximize total profit)
Subject to
0.11 X1 + 0.13 X2 + 0.06 X3 + 0.07 X4 ≤ 200 (constraint on the available amount of wood)

- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.arrow_forwardSeas Beginning sells clothing by mail order. An important question is when to strike a customer from the companys mailing list. At present, the company strikes a customer from its mailing list if a customer fails to order from six consecutive catalogs. The company wants to know whether striking a customer from its list after a customer fails to order from four consecutive catalogs results in a higher profit per customer. The following data are available: If a customer placed an order the last time she received a catalog, then there is a 20% chance she will order from the next catalog. If a customer last placed an order one catalog ago, there is a 16% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order two catalogs ago, there is a 12% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order three catalogs ago, there is an 8% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order four catalogs ago, there is a 4% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order five catalogs ago, there is a 2% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. It costs 2 to send a catalog, and the average profit per order is 30. Assume a customer has just placed an order.

Edwards Manufacturing Company purchases two component parts from three different suppliers. The suppliers have limited capacity, and no one supplier can meet all the company's needs. In addition, the suppliers charge different prices for the components. Component price data (in price per unit) are as follows. Supplier Component 1 2 3 1 $11 $12 $13 2 $9 $10 $9 Each supplier has a limited capacity in terms of the total number of components it can supply. However, as long as Edwards provides sufficient advance orders, each supplier can devote its capacity to component 1, component 2, or any combination of the two components, if the total number of units ordered is within its capacity. Supplier capacities are as follows.
