he company (from the previous example) producing training sets for basic operations with SMD components produces them in a total of 3 of its factories: New York factory, the Washington factory, and the HK factory. In total, the company will produce a total of 420 teaching sets. The New York factory will produce 50% more sets than the total production in Washington and HK combined, and the production in Washington factory is 10% higher than in HK factory. How many sets are produced in the individual production factories? The tutor published the attched solution(pic). Based on the attached solution and the exercise description can you explain me how was the total production,constraints row was constructed ?

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%.
This problem is based on Motorolas online method for choosing suppliers. Suppose Motorola solicits bids from five suppliers for eight products. The list price for each product and the quantity of each product that Motorola needs to purchase during the next year are listed in the file P06_93.xlsx. Each supplier has submitted the percentage discount it will offer on each product. These percentages are also listed in the file. For example, supplier 1 offers a 7% discount on product 1 and a 30% discount on product 2. The following considerations also apply: There is an administrative cost of 5000 associated with setting up a suppliers account. For example, if Motorola uses three suppliers, it incurs an administrative cost of 15,000. To ensure reliability, no supplier can supply more than 80% of Motorolas demand for any product. A supplier must supply an integer amount of each product it supplies. Develop a linear integer model to help Motorola minimize the sum of its purchase and administrative costs.
Another way to derive a demand function is to break the market into segments and identify a low price, a medium price, and a high price. For each of these prices and market segments, we ask company experts to estimate product demand. Then we use Excels trend curve fitting capabilities to fit a quadratic function that represents that segments demand function. Finally, we add the segment demand curves to derive an aggregate demand curve. Try this procedure for pricing a candy bar. Assume the candy bar costs 0.55 to produce. The company plans to charge between 1.10 and 1.50 for this candy bar. Its marketing department estimates the demands shown in the file P07_47.xlsx (in thousands) in the three regions of the country where the candy bar will be sold. What is the profit-maximizing price, assuming that the same price will be charged in all three regions?
Set up the simplex matrix used to solve the linear programming problem. Assume all variables are nonnegative. Maximize f = 8x + 9y + 3z subject to 2x + 7y + 8z ≤ 100 6x + 3y + z ≤ 160 3x + 4y + 9z ≤ 10 .
