BE Prints, Inc. produces two types of offset printers: Chamberand Flicker. Demand for both products is booming and exceedsthe company's ability to satisfy it. Most raw materials areplentiful, but production is limited by three factors: a shortage ofsteel rollers, gear cutting capacity and roller polishing capacity.Each Chamber offset printer requires 12 rollers, and each Flickerrequires 10 rollers. Chamber requires 36 hours of gear cutting and12 hours of polishing time, while Flicker requires 32 hours of gearcutting and 14 hours of polishing time. The company is able tobuy 200 rollers per week, and it has 180 hours of gear cuttingtime and 150 hours of polishing time available per week.At current prices, the company will earn a profit of P30,000on each Chamber printer made and P26,000 on each Flickerprinter made. Formulate and solve the problem as a linearprogram to maximize its profit.

Given data is Rollers requirement for chamber = 12 Rollers requirement for flicker = 10 Gear cutting…

Carlo and Anita make mailboxes and toys in their craft shop near Lincoln. Each mailbox requires 1 hour of work from Carlo and 1 hourfrom Anita. Each toy requires 1 hour of work from Carlo and 4 hoursfrom Anita. Carlo cannot work more than 6 hours per week and Anita cannot work more than 12 hours per week. If each mailbox sells for $12 and each toy sells for $23, then how many of each should they make to maximize their revenue? What is their maximum revenue? Carlo and Anita should make, x mailboxes and y toys. Their maximum revenue is:
A firm making snowblowers produces the augers for each snowblower in batches. Annual demand is for 3,000 snowblowers, which means 3,000 augers need to be produced each year. On a given workday, 10 augers are needed for snowblower production. Annual holding costs are $3 per auger. Before the augers are produced, a setup cost of $100 is incurred to setup the equipment to produce a batch of augers. The firm can produce 50 augers per day. Given this information, find the economic production quantity for the auger units. Note: When doing interim calculations, round value to 2 decimal points.
The poultry farmer decided to make his own chicken scratch by combining alfalfa and corn in rail car quantities. A rail car of corn costs $400 and a rail car of alfalfa costs $200. The farmer's chickens have a minimum daily requirement of vitamin K (500 milligrams) and iron (400 milligrams), but it doesn't matter whether those elements come from corn, alfalfa, or some other grain. A unit of corn contains 150 milligrams of vitamin K and 75 milligrams of iron. A unit of alfalfa contains 250 milligrams of vitamin K and 50 milligrams of iron. Formulate the linear programming model for this situation. Group of answer choices Min Z = $450C + $200A Subject to: 150C + 250A ≥ 500 75C + 50A ≥ 400 C, A ≥ 0 Min Z = $400C + $200A Subject to: 150C + 250A ≥ 500 75C + 50A ≥ 400 C, A ≥ 0 Max Z = $400C + $500A Subject to: 150C + 250A ≥ 500 75C + 50A ≥ 400 C, A ≥ 0 Max Z = $400C + $200A Subject to: 150C + 250A ≥ 500 75C + 50A ≥ 400 C, A ≥ 0 Min Z = $400C + $200A Subject to: 150C + 250A ≥ 400…

(Need both parts a and b) During the next four months, a customer requires, respectively, 500, 650, 1000, and 700 units of a commodity, and no backlogging is allowed (that is, the customer’s requirements must be met on time). Production costs are $50, $80, $40, and $70 per unit during these months. The storage cost from one month to the next is $20 per unit (assessed on ending inventory). It is estimated that each unit on hand at the end of month 4 can be sold for $60. Assume there is no beginning inventory. A. What is the objective function in this problem? B.

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=
A company must meet (on time) the following demands:quarter 1—30 units; quarter 2—20 units; quarter 3—40units. Each quarter, up to 27 units can be produced withregular-time labor, at a cost of $40 per unit. During eachquarter, an unlimited number of units can be produced withovertime labor, at a cost of $60 per unit. Of all unitsproduced, 20% are unsuitable and cannot be used to meetdemand. Also, at the end of each quarter, 10% of all unitson hand spoil and cannot be used to meet any futuredemands. After each quarter’s demand is satisfied andspoilage is accounted for, a cost of $15 per unit is assessedagainst the quarter’s ending inventory. Formulate an LP thatcan be used to minimize the total cost of meeting the nextthree quarters’ demands. Assume that 20 usable units areavailable at the beginning of quarter 1.

VITRAN Bus Services purchases diesel fuel from Domino Gas Supply. In addition to fuel cost, Domino Gas Supply charges VITRAN Bus Services $250 per order to cover the expenses of delivering and transferring the fuel to VITRAN Bus Services storage tanks. The lead time for new shipment from Domino Gas Supply is 10 days, the cost of holding a gallon of fuel in the storage tanks is $0.04 per month, or $0.48 per year and the annual usage of fuel is 150,000 gallons. VITRAN Bus Services buses operate 300 days a year. What is the optimal order quantity for VITRAN Bus Services? How frequently should VITRAN Bus Services order to replenish the gasoline supply?
