- If a monopolist produces q units, she can charge 400 4q dollars per unit. The variable cost is 60 per unit. a. How can the monopolist maximize her profit? b. If the monopolist must pay a sales tax of 5% of the selling price per unit, will she increase or decrease production (relative to the situation with no sales tax)? c. Continuing part b, use SolverTable to see how a change in the sales tax affects the optimal solution. Let the sales tax vary from 0% to 8% in increments of 0.5%.The Pigskin Company produces footballs. Pigskin must decide how many footballs to produce each month. The company has decided to use a six-month planning horizon. The forecasted monthly demands for the next six months are 10,000, 15,000, 30,000, 35,000, 25,000, and 10,000. Pigskin wants to meet these demands on time, knowing that it currently has 5000 footballs in inventory and that it can use a given months production to help meet the demand for that month. (For simplicity, we assume that production occurs during the month, and demand occurs at the end of the month.) During each month there is enough production capacity to produce up to 30,000 footballs, and there is enough storage capacity to store up to 10,000 footballs at the end of the month, after demand has occurred. The forecasted production costs per football for the next six months are 12.50, 12.55, 12.70, 12.80, 12.85, and 12.95, respectively. The holding cost incurred per football held in inventory at the end of any month is 5% of the production cost for that month. (This cost includes the cost of storage and also the cost of money tied up in inventory.) The selling price for footballs is not considered relevant to the production decision because Pigskin will satisfy all customer demand exactly when it occursat whatever the selling price is. Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. Can you guess the results of a sensitivity analysis on the initial inventory in the Pigskin model? See if your guess is correct by using SolverTable and allowing the initial inventory to vary from 0 to 10,000 in increments of 1000. Keep track of the values in the decision variable cells and the objective cell.The Pigskin Company produces footballs. Pigskin must decide how many footballs to produce each month.

(This cost includes the cost of storage and also the cost of money tied up in inventory.) The selling price for footballs is not considered relevant to the production decision because Pigskin will satisfy all customer demand exactly when it occursat whatever the selling price is. Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. As indicated by the algebraic formulation of the Pigskin model, there is no real need to calculate inventory on hand after production and constrain it to be greater than or equal to demand. An alternative is to calculate ending inventory directly and constrain it to be nonnegative. Modify the current spreadsheet model to do this. (Delete rows 16 and 17, and calculate ending inventory appropriately. Then add an explicit non-negativity constraint on ending inventory.)

The selling price for footballs is not considered relevant to the production decision because Pigskin will satisfy all customer demand exactly when it occursat whatever the selling price is. Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. Modify the Pigskin model so that there are eight months in the planning horizon. You can make up reasonable values for any extra required data. Dont forget to modify range names. Then modify the model again so that there are only four months in the planning horizon. Do either of these modifications change the optima] production quantity in month 1?Lemingtons is trying to determine how many Jean Hudson dresses to order for the spring season. Demand for the dresses is assumed to follow a normal distribution with mean 400 and standard deviation 100. The contract between Jean Hudson and Lemingtons works as follows. At the beginning of the season, Lemingtons reserves x units of capacity. Lemingtons must take delivery for at least 0.8x dresses and can, if desired, take delivery on up to x dresses. Each dress sells for 160 and Hudson charges 50 per dress. If Lemingtons does not take delivery on all x dresses, it owes Hudson a 5 penalty for each unit of reserved capacity that is unused. For example, if Lemingtons orders 450 dresses and demand is for 400 dresses, Lemingtons will receive 400 dresses and owe Jean 400(50) + 50(5). How many units of capacity should Lemingtons reserve to maximize its expected profit?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.
- The Feed ’N Ship Ranch fattens cattle for localfarmers and ships them to meat markets in KansasCity and Omaha. The owners of the ranch seek todetermine the amounts of cattle feed to buy so thatminimum nutritional standards are satisfied and atthe same time total feed costs are minimized. Thefeed mix can be made up of the three grains thatcontain the following ingredients per pound of feed: The cost per pound of stocks X, Y, and Z is $2, $4,and $2.50, respectively. The minimum requirementper cow per month is 4 pounds of ingredient A, 5pounds of ingredient B, 1 pound of ingredient C, and8 pounds of ingredient D.The ranch faces one additional restriction: itcan obtain only 500 pounds of stock Z per month from the feed supplier, regardless of its need. Be-cause there are usually 100 cows at the Feed ’N Ship Ranch at any given time, this means that no morethan 5 pounds of stock Z can be counted on for usein the feed of each cow per month.(a) Formulate this as an LP problem.(b) Solve using…3-2) The optimal quantity of the three products and resulting revenue for Taco Loco is: A) 28 beef, 80 cheese, and 39.27 beans for $147.27.

- 1. Write a linear program for the problem. 2. What is the optimal production mix among different coffee varieties and the profit associated with it? 3. What should be the per bag profit of Tarrazu which will make it beneficial to produce this variety? 4. One Cup is considering increasing the weekly bags to 150. If it costs One Cup $3.00 per bag to procure beans of any variety. Conduct sensitivity analysis and determine if One Cup should consider increasing the per week production. 5. Identify the range over which per bag profit of Sumatra and Kona may vary and still retain the current production plan as optimal for One Cup. 6. Once roasted the coffee beans must be preserved properly. To ensure that, One Cup Coffee is considering investing in a vacuum packaging machine for 24 hours/ week. It takes 10, 15 and 10 minutes to pack a bag of Sumatra, Kona and Tarazzu respectively.
