- 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%.The Pigskin Company produces footballs. Pigskin must decide how many footballs to produce each month. The company has decided to use a six-month planning horizon. The forecasted monthly demands for the next six months are 10,000, 15,000, 30,000, 35,000, 25,000, and 10,000. Pigskin wants to meet these demands on time, knowing that it currently has 5000 footballs in inventory and that it can use a given months production to help meet the demand for that month. (For simplicity, we assume that production occurs during the month, and demand occurs at the end of the month.) During each month there is enough production capacity to produce up to 30,000 footballs, and there is enough storage capacity to store up to 10,000 footballs at the end of the month, after demand has occurred. The forecasted production costs per football for the next six months are 12.50, 12.55, 12.70, 12.80, 12.85, and 12.95, respectively. The holding cost incurred per football held in inventory at the end of any month is 5% of the production cost for that month. (This cost includes the cost of storage and also the cost of money tied up in inventory.) The selling price for footballs is not considered relevant to the production decision because Pigskin will satisfy all customer demand exactly when it occursat whatever the selling price is. Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. Can you guess the results of a sensitivity analysis on the initial inventory in the Pigskin model? See if your guess is correct by using SolverTable and allowing the initial inventory to vary from 0 to 10,000 in increments of 1000. Keep track of the values in the decision variable cells and the objective cell.The Pigskin Company produces footballs. Pigskin must decide how many footballs to produce each month. The company has decided to use a six-month planning horizon. The forecasted monthly demands for the next six months are 10,000, 15,000, 30,000, 35,000, 25,000, and 10,000.

(This cost includes the cost of storage and also the cost of money tied up in inventory.) The selling price for footballs is not considered relevant to the production decision because Pigskin will satisfy all customer demand exactly when it occursat whatever the selling price is. Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. As indicated by the algebraic formulation of the Pigskin model, there is no real need to calculate inventory on hand after production and constrain it to be greater than or equal to demand. An alternative is to calculate ending inventory directly and constrain it to be nonnegative. Modify the current spreadsheet model to do this. (Delete rows 16 and 17, and calculate ending inventory appropriately. Then add an explicit non-negativity constraint on ending inventory.)

The selling price for footballs is not considered relevant to the production decision because Pigskin will satisfy all customer demand exactly when it occursat whatever the selling price is. Therefore. Pigskin wants to determine the production schedule that minimizes the total production and holding costs. Modify the Pigskin model so that there are eight months in the planning horizon. You can make up reasonable values for any extra required data. Dont forget to modify range names. Then modify the model again so that there are only four months in the planning horizon. Do either of these modifications change the optima] production quantity in month 1?The cost data for Evencoat Paint for the year 2019 is as follows: Month Gallons ofPaintProduced EquipmentMaintenanceExpenses January 110,000 $70,700 February 68,000 66,800 March 71,000 67,000 April 77,000 68,100 May 95,000 69,200 June 101,000 70,300 July 125,000 70,400 August 95,000 68,900 September 95,000 69,500 October 89,000 68,600 November 128,000 72,800 December 122,000 71,450 A. Using the high-low method, express the company’s maintenance costs as an equation where x represents the gallons of paint produced. Then estimate the fixed and variable costs. Fixed cost $ Variable cost $Wallace Company makes and sells a single product. Each unit of product requires two hours of labor with a wage rate of $8 per hour. The company has budgeted to sell 8,000 units and to produce 10,000 units during the current month. The product requires three pounds of material for each unit produced. Budgeted direct labor costs for the current month would be: $192,000 $128,000 $80,000 $64,000 $160,000

Make sure to create a feasible solution with countable number of products (no partials)RMC, Inc., is a small firm that produces a variety of chemical products. In a particular production process, three raw materials are blended (mixed together) to produce two products: a fuel additive and a solvent base. Each ton of fuel additive is a mixture of 25 ton of material 1 and 35 of material 3. A ton of solvent base is a mixture of 12 ton of material 1, 15 ton of material 2, and 310 ton of material 3. After deducting relevant costs, the profit contribution is $40 for every ton of fuel additive produced and $30 for every ton of solvent base produced. RMC’s production is constrained by a limited availability of the three raw materials. For the current production period, RMC has available the following quantities of each raw material: RAW MATERIAL Amount Available for Production Material 1 20 Tons Material 2 5…
- 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.The following data pertain to Aurora Electronics for the month of February.
