Although the problems say solve graphically, please solve all problems using the QM for Windows software or solve manually. B.6 The Christina Alvarez Company manufactures two lines of designer yard gates, called model A and model B. Every gate requires blending a certain amount of steel and zinc, the company has available a total of 25.000 Ib of steel and 6,000 lb of zinc. Each model A gate requires a mixture of 125 Ib of steel and 20 lb of zinc, and each yields a profit of 590. Each model B gate requires 100 1b of steel and 30 ib of zinc and can be sold for a profit of $70. Find by graphical IP the best production mix of yard gates.

If a monopolist produces q units, she can charge 400 4q dollars per unit. The variable cost is 60 per unit. a. How can the monopolist maximize her profit? b. If the monopolist must pay a sales tax of 5% of the selling price per unit, will she increase or decrease production (relative to the situation with no sales tax)? c. Continuing part b, use SolverTable to see how a change in the sales tax affects the optimal solution. Let the sales tax vary from 0% to 8% in increments of 0.5%.

All three products use the same direct materials. In the next year, the available supply of materials will be restricted to 5,000 kilograms of material Y9 and 12,000 litres of heat sensitive paint. Material Y9 costs $0.95 per kilogram and the heat sensitive paint costs…
The J Company manufactures two products, J1 and J2. Each J1 sold contributes Rs 60 and each J2 contributes Rs 50. In addition, each product must pass through two assembly points A1 and A2. J1 requires 4 hours in A1 and 4 hours in A2. J2 requires 3 hours in A1 and 5 hours in A2. There are 40 hours available in A1 and 30 hours available in A2. Using graphic linear programming, determine the optimum product mix.

The Big Bang Novelty Company (BBNC) makes 3 types of noise?makers: Toot, Wheet, and Honk. A Toot can be made in 30 minutes and has a feather attached to it. A Wheet requires 20 minutes, has two feathers, and is sprinkled with 0.5 ounces of sequin powder. The Honk requires 30 minutes, three feathers, and 1 ounce of sequin powder. The unit profits are $0.45 per Toot, $0.55 per Wheet, and $0.70 per Honk. The following resources are available: 80 hours of labor, 360 feathers, and 90 ounces of sequin powder. BBNC would like to maximize the overall profit from the noise-makers. (a) Write the linear programming model. Express labor time in minutes in LP formulationb) Solve using Excel Solver. How much of the resources (labor, feathers, and sequin powder) will be used by the optimal solution? If the availability of labor increases by 10 hours, what is the optimal total profit? If the unit profit of Wheet is actually only $0.30 instead of $0.55, will this change the solution? How many of each…

Kevin runs a factory that makes stereo tuners. Each S100 takes 9 ounces of plastic and 6 ounces of metal. Each G150 requires 3 ounces of plastic and 9 ounces of metal. The factory has 360 ounces of plastic, 702 ounces of metal available, with a maximum of 24 S100 that can be built each week. If each S100 generates $13 in profit, and each G150 generates $8, how many of each of the stereo tuners should Kevin have the factory make each week to make the most profit? S100= G150= Best profit=
Can you show how to put it in Excel? XYZ store sells regular and premium nut mixes. Premium mix contains three quarters pound of cashews and one quarter of peanuts, and the regular mix has half pound of cashews and half pound peanuts per bag. The shop has 200 pounds of cashews and 300 pounds of peanuts to work with. Cashews cost $1.50 per pound, and peanuts cost 60 cents per pound. Premium mix will sell for $2.90 per pound, and the standard mix will sell for $2.55 per pound. The owner esimtes that no more than 200 bags of one types can be sold. What is the best combinations of products that maximizes profits? Make sure to create a feasible solution with countable number of products (no partials)
