A company manufacturs two different products, A and B .Each unit of product A costs $6 to produce, and each unit of product B Costs $4.' The company insits that total costs for the two products be $500. A)Define the Cost equation which states that the total cost of producing x unit of product A and y units of product B equal to $500. B)Assuming the company has agreed to fill an order for 50 units of product A, how many units of product B should be produced if total costs are to be he kept at $500 ?

An oil refinery is located 1 km north of the north bank of a straight river that is 3 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refinery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 6 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $200,000/km over land to a point P on the north bank and $400,000/km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, how far downriver from the refinery should the point P be located? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
An oil refinery is located 1 km north of the north bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refinery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 5 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $400,000/km over land to a point P on the north bank and $800,000/km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, how far downriver from the refinery should the point P be located? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) km
An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 1 km wide . A pipeline is to be constructed from the refinery to storage tanks located on the south of the river 6 km east of the refinery . The cost of laying pipe is 500, 000 per km over the land to point P on the north bank and 1,000,000 per km under the river to the tanks . To minimize the cost of the pipeline , how far from the refinery should P be located ?
A power line is to be constructed from a power station at point A to an island at point C, which is 3 mi directly out in the water from point B on the shore. Point B is 4 mi downshore from the power station at A. It costs $3300 per mile to lay the power line under water and $2000 per mile to lay at the line under grount. At what point S downshore from A should the line come to the shore in order to minimize cost? Note that S could very well be B or A. (Hint. The lenght of CS is square root of 9+x^2). S is _____ miles from A.
The cost of units is made up of $6.25 materials costs $4.75 labour cost, and $3.25 overhead. What is the ratio that exists between the three elements of cost?
A plant food is made from three chemicals, labeled I, II, and III. In each batch of the plant food, the amounts of chemicals II and III must be in the ratio of 5to 3. The amount of nitrogen must be at least 39 kg. The percent of nitrogen in the three chemicals is 8%,4%,and 5%,respectively. If the three chemicals cost $1.02 $0.86 and $0.66 per kilogram, respectively, how much of each should be used to minimize the cost of producing at least 600 kg of the plant food?
A farmer wants to start raising cows, horses, goats, and sheep and desires to have a rectangular pasture for the animals to graze in. However, no two different kinds of animals can graze together. In order to minimize the amount of fencing she will need, she has decided to enclose a large rectangular area and then divide it into four equally sized pens by adding three segments of fence inside the large rectangle that are parallel to two existing sides (see attached image). She has decided to purchase 7500 ft of fencing. What is the maximum possible area that each of the four pens will enclose? Make sure to include units in your answer.
A refinery manufactures two grades of jet fuel, Fl and F2, by blending four types of gasoline, A. B, C, and D. Fuel Fl uses gasolines A. B. C, and D in the ratio 1:1:2:4, and fucl F2 uses the ratio 2:2:1:3. The supply limits for A, B.C, and D are 1000, 1200, 900, and 1500 bbl/day, respectively. The costs per bbl for gasolines A, B, C, and D are $120, $90, $100, and $150, respectively. Fucls Fl and F2 sell for $200 and $250 per bbl, respectively. The minimum demand for F1 and F2 is 200 and 400 bbl/day, respectively. Develop an LP model to determine the optimal production mix for F1 and F2, and find the solution using execl Solver
The water-supply manager for a Midwest city needs to supply the city with at least 10 million gal of potable (drinkable) water per day. The supply may be drawn from the local reservoir or from a pipeline to an adjacent town. The local reservoir has a maximum daily yield of 6 million gallons of potable water, and the pipeline has a maximum daily yield of 10 million gallons. By contract, the pipeline is required to supply a minimum of 6 million gallons/day. If the cost for 1 million gallons of reservoir water is $300 and that for pipeline water is $600, how much water should the manager get from each source to minimize daily water costs, C, for the city?
A doughnut shop has two kitchens in which the dough is rolled out and cut. Kitchen 1 can produce up to 150 dozen per day and kitchen 2 can produce up to 125 dozen per day. The dough is then sent via conveyor belt to one of two deep fryers. The cost of sending the dough by the conveyor belt from the kitchens to the fryers is given below. From the deep fryers, the doughnuts are then loaded onto trays and sent to the bakery to be glazed. The cost to send doughnuts from Fryer A to the bakery to be glazed is $0.40 per dozen and the cost to send doughnuts from Fryer B to the bakery to be glazed is $0.33 per dozen. Additionally, doughnuts can be moved between the two fryers by cart for $0.12 per dozen. The bakery has a fixed daily demand of 200 dozen. Formulate a balanced transshipment problem to minimize the cost of meeting the bakery’s demand. Draw the network OR write the associated linear program.
