A store manager estimates that theminimum number of cars needed over thenext 3 weeks are 5, 8 and 7 respectively.Excess car kept in garage will cost $30 percar per week and new hiring in any weekwill incur a fixed cost of $40 and $20 percar per week. Assume there is no cost inreturning the car and the minimum numberof cars needed is always met, find thenumber of cars per week such that the totalcost of hiring the cars is minimized. Solvethis problem using dynamic programming.

A warehouse can store up to 100 units of a particular item. In each of the next N days weneed to determine the number of units to sell and then the number of units to buy. Sellingin each day precedes buying so that the maximum amount that can be sold is the initialinventory at the beginning of the day. The maximum amount that can be bought is limitedby the capacity minus the amount in inventory after selling takes place. Inventory can beheld overnight in the warehouse, provided the total number of units held does not exceed thewarehouse capacity. At the beginning of day 1, before selling takes place, there are 40 unitsof inventory in the warehouse.

A retired couple supplement their income by making fruit pies, which they sell to a local grocery store. During the month of September, they produce apple and grape pies. The apple pies are sold for $10.00 to the grocer, and the grape pies are sold for $8.00. The couple is able to sell all of the pies they produce owing to their high quality. They use fresh ingredients. Flour and sugar are purchased once each month. For the month of September, they have 1,500 cups of sugar and 2,400 cups of flour. Each apple pie requires 1½ cups of sugar and 3 cups of flour, and each grape pie requires 2 cups of sugar and 3 cups of flour. a. Determine the number of grape and the number of apple pies that will maximize revenues if the couple working together can make an apple pie in 6 minutes and a grape pie in 3 minutes. They plan to work no more than 60 hours. (Round your answers to nearest whole number.) b. Determine the amounts of sugar, flour, and time that will be unused. (Leave no cells blank -…
