10. A retail store in Des Moines, Iowa, receives shipments of a particular product from Kansas City and Minneapolis. Let x = number of units of the product received from Kansas City y = number of units of the product received from Minneapolis a. Write an expression for the total number of units of the product received by the retail store in Des Moines. b. Shipments from Kansas City cost $0.20 per unit, and shipments from Minneapolis cost $0.25 per unit. Develop an objective function representing the total cost of ship- ments to Des Moines. c. Assuming the monthly demand at the retail store is 5000 units, develop a constraint that requires 5000 units to be shipped to Des Moines. d. No more than 4000 units can be shipped from Kansas City, and no more than 3000 units can be shipped from Minneapolis in a month. Develop constraints to model this situation. e. Of course, negative amounts cannot be shipped. Combine the objective function and constraints developed to state a mathematical model for satisfying the demand at the Des Moines retail store at minimum cost.

Scott loves to go to baseball games, especially home games of the Cincinnatti Reds. All else equal, he likes to sit close to the field. He also likes to get to the stadium early to watch batting practice. The closer he parks to the stadium the more batting practice he is able to watch (the garages all open simultaneously).

Kiran and Amna live in IBA hostel. They own a small business in which they make brownies and pasta and sell them to people on campus. As shown in the table on the following page, Kiran can make 30 brownies per hour but only 6 bowls of pasta. Amna is a bit slower and can make only 24 brownies or 4 bowls of pasta in an hour Suppose that Kristen and Anna can sell all their brownies for PKR10 each and all their pasta bowls for PKR 50 each. If each of them worked 20 hours per week, how should they split their time between brownies and pasta? What is their maximum joint revenue?
Suppose you won $15 on a lotto ticket at the local 7-Eleven and decided to spend all the winnings on candy bars and bags of peanuts. Candy bars cost $0.75 each while bags of peanuts cost $1.50 each. a. Construct a table showing the alternative combinations of the two products that are available. b. Plot the data in your table as a budget line in a graph. What is the slope of the budget line? What is the opportunity cost of one more candy bar? Of one more bag of peanuts? Do these opportunity costs rise, fall, or remain constant as additional units are purchased? c. Does the budget line tell you which of the available combinations of candy bars and bags of peanuts to buy? d. Suppose that you had won $30 on your ticket, not $15. Show the $30 budget line in your diagram. Has the number of available combinations increased or decreased?

The store sells them at $14 per pokemon cards and $7 for the stickers. 1. If Ethan spends all his money on pokemon cards, what is the maximum unit that he can purchase based on the given budget? 2. If Ethan spends all his money on stickers, what is the maximum unit that he can purchase based on the given budget? 3. Show in an illustration where pokemon cards is in the x-axis and y-axis is the sticker.
