A small firm builds two types of garden shed. Garden shed 1 requires 2 hours machine time and 5 hours craftsman time. Garden shed 2 requires 3 hours of machine time and 5 hours of craftsman time. Each day there are 30 hours of machine time available and 60 hours of craftsman time. The profit one each garden shed 1 is £60 and, on each garden shed 2 is £84. Formulate the linear programming model and feasible solution using simplex method.

Case 1: Western Chassis produces high-quality polished steel and aluminum sheeting and two lines ofindustrial chassis for the rack mounting of Internet routers, modems, and other telecommunicationsequipment. The contribution margin (contribution toward profit) for steel sheeting is $0.40 per poundand for aluminum sheeting is $0.60 per pound. Western earns $12 contribution on the sale of aStandard chassis rack and $15 contribution on a Deluxe chassis rack. During the next productioncycle, Western can buy and use up to 25,800 pounds of raw unfinished steel either in sheeting or inchassis. Similarly, 20,400 pounds of aluminum are available. One standard chassis rack requires 16pounds of steel and 8 pounds of aluminum. A Deluxe chassis rack requires 12 pounds of each metal.The output of metal sheeting is restricted only by the capacity of the polisher. For the next productioncycle, the polisher can handle any mix of the two metals up to 4,000 pounds of metal sheeting. Chassismanufacture…
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…

Klara is entitled to 17 weeks of pregnancy leave and 63 weeks of parental leave. 2.…
Case 2: A marketing research professor is conducting a telephone survey and needs to contact atleast 160 wives, 140 husbands, 110 single adult males, and 120 single adult females. It costs $2 tomake a daytime call and $4 (because of higher labor costs) to make an evening call. The table shownbelow lists the expected results. For example, 10% of all daytime calls are answered by a single male,and 15% of all evening calls are answered by a single female. Because of a limited staff, at most halfof all phone calls can be evening calls. Determine how to minimize the cost of completing thesurvey.

2. A firm makes two products X and Y and has a total production capacity of 9 tons per day.X and Y requiring the same production capacity. The same has a permanent contract to supply at least two tons of X and at least 3 tons of Y per day to another company. Each ton of X requires 20 machine hours of production time and each ton of Y requires 50 machine hours of production time. The daily maximum possible number of machine hours is 360. The entire firm's output can be sold and profit made is 80 R.O of X and 120 R.O per ton of Y. It is required to determine the production schedule for maximum profit and to calculate this profit. Formulate a LPP.
1. A city is reviewing the location of its fire stations. The city is made up of a number of neighborhoods, as illustrated in the figure below. A fire station can be placed in any neighborhood. It is able to handle the fires for both its neighborhood and any adjacent neighborhood (any neighborhood with a non-zero border with its home neighborhood). The objective is to minimize the number of fire stations used. Solve this problem. Which neighborhoods will be hosting the firestations?
Chapter 8. Tyler bakes Cookies (C) and Breads (B) with the help of two ovens in his little bakery. The time taken by Oven A to bake each cookie batch is 14 minutes and the time taken by Oven B is 12 minutes. The time taken by Oven A to bake a batch of bread is 16 minutes and the time taken by Oven B is 17 minutes. Each week Oven A can be used for 28 hours, and Oven B can be used for 25 hours to bake Cookies and Breads. The rest of the time is used for baking other products. Moreover, Tyler starts the next week with a stock of 20 batches of Cookies and 20 batches of Breads. There is a weekly demand of 70 batches of Cookies and 35 batches of Breads. For each batch of Cookies, Tyler makes $15 in revenue and for each batch of Breads Tyler makes $20 in revenue. How should Tyler plan his production to maximize his revenue while meeting his weekly demand and adding to his stock for the following week? To help you guys out, I am giving you the Linear Program equations here. Using the Solver,…
