Parsa Real Estate Parsa Real Estate is a company that buys and rents real estate. The company is looking into buying an office building for $1M. The building has 10,000 square feet of rentable office space. The company analysts predict that they can rent the office space for $6 per square foot per month, but demand is a function of price in the following way: % Occupied = 2 - 0.2*Rent (Rent is in dollars per square foot per month. Also, at $6.00, Oscar thinks he can fill about 80% of the office space.) The building needs to be maintained (security, insurance, maintenance, etc.), which costs $10,000 per month regardless of occupancy. Also, there is a variable cost of $2 per month for each square foot occupied. Define the return on invested capital as the ratio of the profits (PER YEAR) and the invested capital. You can draw an ROIC tree in the same way that we drew a KPI tree in class. Simply have the ROIC as “the root” of the tree instead of profits. Then answer the following question.…
The Stratton Company produces two basic types of plastic pipe. Three resources are crucial to the output of pipe: extrusion hours, packaging hours, and a special additive to the plastic raw material. The following data represent next week’s situation. All data are expressed in units of 100 feet of pipe. Product Resource Type 1 Type 2 Resource Availability Extrusion Packaging Additive mix 4 hr 2 hr 2 lb 6 hr 2 hr 1 lb 48 hr 18 hr 16 lb The contribution to profits and overhead per 100 feet of pipe is $34 for type 1 and $40 for type 2. Formulate a linear programming model to determine how much of each type of pipe should be produced to maximize contribution to profits and to overhead, assuming that everything produced can be sold.
