4 Sunco processes oil into aviation fuel and heating oil. Itcosts $40 to purchase each 1,000 barrels of oil, which isthen distilled and yields 500 barrels of aviation fuel and 500barrels of heating oil. Output from the distillation may besold directly or processed in the catalytic cracker. If soldafter distillation without further processing, aviation fuelsells for $60 per 1,000 barrels, and heating oil sells for $40per 1,000 barrels. It takes 1 hour to process 1,000 barrels ofaviation fuel in the catalytic cracker, and these 1,000 barrelscan be sold for $130. It takes 45 minutes to process 1,000barrels of heating oil in the cracker, and these 1,000 barrelscan be sold for $90. Each day, at most 20,000 barrels of oilcan be purchased, and 8 hours of cracker time are available.Formulate an LP to maximize Sunco’s profits.
1.A clockmaker makes two types of woodenclocksto sell at various malls. It takes him three hours to assemble a pine clock, which requires two oz of varnish. It takes four hours to assemblea molave clock, which takes four oz of varnish. He has eight oz of varnish available in stock and can work 12 hours. If he makes a P100 profit on each pine clock and P120 on each molave clock, how many of each type should he make to maximize his profit?2.A biologist is developing two new strains of bacteria. Each sample of Type A bacteria produces five new viable bacteria,and each Type B bacteria produces six new viable bacteria. Altogether, at least 150 new viable bacteria must be produced. At least 10, but not more than 20,of the original sample,must be Type A,and not more than 60 of the samples must be Type B. A sample of Type A costs P500,and a sample of Type B costs P700. If both types are to be used, how many samples of each type should be used to minimize the cost?
Daisy Drugs manufactures two drugs: 1 and 2. Thedrugs are produced by blending two chemicals: 1 and 2. Byweight, drug 1 must contain at least 65% chemical 1, anddrug 2 must contain at least 55% chemical 1. Drug 1 sellsfor $6/oz, and drug 2 sells for $4/oz. Chemicals 1 and 2 canbe produced by one of two production processes. Runningprocess 1 for an hour requires 3 oz of raw material and 2hours skilled labor and yields 3 oz of each chemical.Running process 2 for an hour requires 2 oz of raw materialand 3 hours of skilled labor and yields 3 oz of chemical 1and 1 oz of chemical 2. A total of 120 hours of skilled laborand 100 oz of raw material are available. Formulate an LPthat can be used to maximize Daisy’s sales revenues

2. A canning company produces two sizes of cans—regular and large. The cans are produced in 10,000-can lots. The cans are processed through a stamping operation and a coating operation. The company has 30 days available for both stamping and coating. A lot of regular-size cans require 2 days to stamp and 4 days to coat, whereas a lot of large cans requires 4 days to stamp and 2 days to coat. A lot of regular-size cans earn $800 profit, and a lot of large-size cans earn $900 profit. In order to fulfill its obligations under a shipping contract, the company must produce at least nine lots. The company wants to determine the number of lots to produce of each size can (and) in order to maximize profit. 8.

M&D Chemicals produces two products that are sold as raw materials to companies manufacturing bath soap and laundry detergents. Based on an analysis of current inventory levels and potential demand for the coming month, M&D’s management specifies that the combined production for products A and B must total at least 350 gallons. Separately, a major customer’s order for 125 gallons of product A must also be satisfied. Product A requires 2 hours of processing time per gallon, and product B requires 1 hour of processing time per gallon. For the coming month, 600 hours of processing time are available. M&D’s objective is to satisfy these requirements at a minimum total production cost. Production costs are $2 per gallon for product A and $3 per gallon for product B. Develop a Linear Programming Model to determine how many gallons of each product should be produced. (using excel) please be detailed I need to understand how you you got each solution) 1) How many gallons of Product…
