A computer company produces hardware and software using the same plant and labor. The total cost of producing computer processing units H and software programs S is given by TC=aH+bS-CHS where a, b, and c are positive. Is this total cost function consistent with the presence of economies or diseconomies of scale? For the product-specific case for hardware, the firm experiences neither economies nor diseconomies of scale. For the product-specific case for software, the firm experiences of scale.

Consider the following model of trade between Home and Foreign. Assume throughout that those two countries are the only two countries in the world, at least for purposes of trade. There are two goods: Corn and Radio. Consumers always spend one-third of their income on Corn and the remainder on Radios. The only factor of production is labour. Each home country worker can produce 2 units of Corn or 3 units of Radios per unit of time, while each foreign worker can produce 2 units of Corn or 4 units of Radios per unit of time. There are 30 workers in Home and 60 workers in Foreign. Draw the production possibility frontier for each country (put Corn on the vertical axis and Radios on the horizontal axis).

Subject: Operations Research 1: Deterministic Approach Question: Linear Programming Formulation For the Reddy Mikks model, construct each of the following constraints and express it with a linear left-hand side and a constant right-hand side: a. The daily demand for the interior paint exceeds that of exterior paint by at least 1 ton b. The daily usage of raw material M2 in tons is at most 6 and at least 3 c. The demand for interior paint cannot be less than the demand for exterior paint. d. The minimum quantity that should be produced off both the interior and exterior is 3 tons. e. The proportion of interior paint to the total production of both interior and exterior paints must not exceed .5

A company manufactures two types of trucks. Each truck must go through the painting shop and the assembly shop. If the painting shop were completely devoted to painting type 1 trucks, 800 per day could be painted, whereas if the painting shop were completely devoted to painting type 2 trucks, 700 per day could be painted. If the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 1 engines, 1500 per day could be assembled, whereas if the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 2 engines, 1200 per day could be assembled. It is possible, however, to paint both types of trucks in the painting shop. Similarly, it is possible to assemble both types in the assembly shop. Each type 1 truck contributes $1000 to profit; each type 2 truck contributes $1500. Use Solver to maximize the company’s profit
