In the problem on excel : 1.What are the decision variables 2.What is the objective functions 3. What are the 11 constraints and explain A used t company, owned by Musa in Ottawa sells 7 different brands covering 3 different products. These are 4 Brands of Cars: Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet and BMW; 2 brands of Motorcycles: Suzuki and Yamaha, and 1 brand of Sailboats: Amel. Musa knows that his sales floor which he will display his products is 70,000 square feet, and that a Car takes 60 square feet of space, a motorcycle takes 20 square feet of space, and a sailboat takes 800 square feet of space. The profit that can be made for selling each of 7 different items is listed below: ITem Profit per unit Car - Toyota $2800 Car - Honda $3900 Car - Chevrolet $2,100 Car - BMW $5000 Motorcycle - Suzuki $1,000 Motorcycle - Yamaha $2,250 Sailboat - Amel $9,500 The transportation company is trying to determine how many of each item to order to maximize profit, given the following restrictions:…
2. Provident Capital Corp. specializes in investment portfolios designed to meet the specific risk tolerances of its clients. A client contacted Provident with P2,000,000 available to invest. Provident’s investment advisor recommends a portfolio consisting of two investment funds: the Dynamic fund and the Diversified fund. The Dynamic fund has a projected annual return of 10%, and the Diversified fund has a projected annual return of 8%. The investment advisor requires that at most P1,400,000 of the client’s funds should be invested in the Dynamic fund. Provident’s services include a risk rating for each investment alternative. The Dynamic fund, which is the more risky of the two investment alternatives, has a risk rating of 6 per P40,000 invested. The Diversified fund has a risk rating of 4 per P40,000 invested. For example, if P400,000 is invested in each of the two investment funds, Provident’s risk rating for the portfolio would be 6(10) + 4(10) = 100. Finally, Provident developed…
A decision problem has the following three constraints: 70X + 6Y <= 420; 24X + 3Y= 72; and 11X - Y <= 14 . The objective function is Min 17X + 38Y . The objective function value is : a. 338 b. 676 c. unbounded d. infeasible e. 0
Consider the following LP problem: Min 6X+ 27Y Subject to : 2 X + 9Y => 25, and X + Y <= 75. Pick a suitable statement for this problem: a. X=37.5, Y=37.5 is the only optimal solution. b. Optimal Obj. function value is 75 c. X = 0, Y = 0 is the only optimal solution. d. Optimal Obj. function value is 0

Suppose a certain manufacturing company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $2,200, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,300. Manufacturing costs are $12 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $16 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,000 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let x4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week x6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week s4 = 1 if the production line is set up to…
Can you give me a clear answer to this question: Decision Variables: Objective Function: Constraints: (By table) Explicit constraints: Implicit contraints:
1. Suppose you are going on a weekend trip to a city that is d miles away. Develop a model that determines your round-trip gasoline costs. What assumptions or approximations are necessary to treat this model as a deterministic model? Are these assumptions or approximations acceptable to you? 2. Suppose that a manager has a choice between the following two mathematical models of a given situation: (a)a relatively simple model that is a reasonable approximation of the real situation, and (b)a thorough and complex model that is the most accurate mathematical representation of the real situation possible. Why might the model described in part (a) be preferred by the manager?
Show the complete Linear Programming Model. Show solutions (i.e. decision variables, objective function, subject to constraints, etc.) Q. A gold processor has two sources of gold ore, source A and source B. In order to keep his plant running, at least three tons of ore must be processed each day. Ore from source A costs $1,000 per ton to process, and ore from source B costs $500 per ton to process. Costs must be kept to less than $4,000 per day. Moreover, Government Regulations require that the amount of ore from source B cannot exceed twice the amount of ore from source A. If ore from source A yields 2 oz. of gold per ton, and ore from source B yields 3 oz. of gold per ton, how many tons of ore from both sources must be processed each day to maximize the amount of gold extracted subject to the above constraints? Formulate the LP model.
