- Lemingtons is trying to determine how many Jean Hudson dresses to order for the spring season. Demand for the dresses is assumed to follow a normal distribution with mean 400 and standard deviation 100. The contract between Jean Hudson and Lemingtons works as follows. At the beginning of the season, Lemingtons reserves x units of capacity. Lemingtons must take delivery for at least 0.8x dresses and can, if desired, take delivery on up to x dresses. Each dress sells for 160 and Hudson charges 50 per dress. If Lemingtons does not take delivery on all x dresses, it owes Hudson a 5 penalty for each unit of reserved capacity that is unused. For example, if Lemingtons orders 450 dresses and demand is for 400 dresses, Lemingtons will receive 400 dresses and owe Jean 400(50) + 50(5). How many units of capacity should Lemingtons reserve to maximize its expected profit?In Example 11.3, suppose you want to run five simulations, where the probability of passing inspection is varied from 0.6 to 1.0 in increments of 0.1. Use the RISKSIMTABLE function appropriately to do this. Comment on the effect of this parameter on the key outputs. In particular, does the probability of passing inspection have a large effect on when production should start? (Note: When this probability is low, it might be necessary to produce more than 25 batches, the maximum built into the model. Check whether this maximum should be increased.)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 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 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.

(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. 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?3-2) The optimal quantity of the three products and resulting revenue for Taco Loco is: A) 28 beef, 80 cheese, and 39.27 beans for $147.27. B) 10.22 beef, 5.33 cheese, and 28.73 beans for $147.27. C) 1.45 Z, 8.36 Y, and 0 Z for $129.09. D) 14 Z, 13 Y, and 17 X for $9.81. 3-3) Taco Loco is unsure whether the amount of beef that their computer thinks is in inventory is correct. What is the range in values for beef inventory that would not affect the optimal product mix? A) 26 to 38.22 pounds B) 27.55 to 28.45 pounds C) 17.78 to 30 pounds D) 12.22 to 28 pounds
- (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. What are the constraints in this problem? Write algebraic expressions for each9. You are given some additional time for Engine time that will increase the demand constraint from 2100 to 2400 for a total cost of $50,000. Would you say yes or no? 10 If the Engine decreases by 100 and Assembly and Testing increases by 50, should the solution be rerun? Explain. 11. If the Engine increases by 750 and Assembly and Testing decrease by 150, should the solution be rerun? Explain.Assume the demand for a company’s drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year,it will cost $16x. Each unit of Wozac is soldfor $3. Each unit of Wozac produced -incurs a variable production cost of $0.20. It costs $0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity.Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its-expected profit over the next 10 years.
- A convenience store manager earns a base salary plus a small bonus of $190 for each of ten different possible monthly milestones he meets. If the manager meets a milestone, the full bonus is paid. However, if the manager falls even one penny short, none of that bonus is paid. Suppose each of the ten milestones requires 40 hours of effort to meet, and that the manager has 160 hours of effort to allocate to work each month. Question: In order to maximize the total monthly bonus, the manager should allocate___hours toward meeting each of ___ milestones and ___hours toward meeting each of the remaining___ sales milestones. There are 4 blanks to fill for this questionyou are thinking of opening a small copy shop. It costs $5000 to rent a copier for a year, and it cost $0.03 per copy to operate the copier.

Each copier can make up to 100,000 copies per year. a. for one to five copiers rented and daily demands of 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 copies perday, find annual profit. That is, find annual profit for each of these combinations of copiers rented and daily demand. b. if you rent three copies, what daily demand for copies will allow you to break even? c.
