A manager wants to know how many units of each product to produce on a daily basis in order toachieve the highest contribution to profit. Production requirements for the products are shown inthe following table.ProductMaterial 1(pounds)Material 2(pounds)Labor(hours)A 2 3 3.2B 1 5 1.5C 6 — 2.0Material 1 costs $5 a pound, material 2 costs $4 a pound, and labor costs $10 an hour. Product Asells for $80 a unit, product B sells for $90 a unit, and product C sells for $70 a unit. Availableresources each day are 200 pounds of material 1; 300 pounds of material 2; and 150 hours of labor.The manager must satisfy certain output requirements: The output of product A should not bemore than one-third of the total number of units produced; the ratio of units of product A to units ofproduct B should be 3 to 2; and there is a standing order for 5 units of product A each day. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem, and then solve
For a table manufacturing company, selling price for a table is $183.00 per Unit, Variable cost is $25.00 per Unit, rent is $3,380.00 per month and insurance is $296.00 per month. Company wants to expand its business and improve the table quality, it wants to increase the selling price for a table to $254.00 per Unit, Variable cost to $43.00 per Unit, bigger area will have rent $5,235.00 per month and insurance is $362.00 per month At what point will the company be indifferent between the current mode of operation and the new option?
Can you show how to put it in Excel? XYZ store sells regular and premium nut mixes. Premium mix contains three quarters pound of cashews and one quarter of peanuts, and the regular mix has half pound of cashews and half pound peanuts per bag. The shop has 200 pounds of cashews and 300 pounds of peanuts to work with. Cashews cost $1.50 per pound, and peanuts cost 60 cents per pound. Premium mix will sell for $2.90 per pound, and the standard mix will sell for $2.55 per pound. The owner esimtes that no more than 200 bags of one types can be sold. What is the best combinations of products that maximizes profits? Make sure to create a feasible solution with countable number of products (no partials)

A bed mart company is in the business of manufacturing beds andpillows. The company has 40 hours for assembly and 32 hours forfinishing work per day. Manufacturing of a bed requires 4 hours forassembly and 2 hours for finishing. Similarly a pillow requires 2 hoursfor assembly and 4 hours for finishing. Profitability analysis indicatesthat every bed would contribute Birr 80, while a pillow contribution isBirr 55 respectively. Find out the daily production of the company tomaximise the contribution (profit). Solve the problem by graphicalmethod

A. Write a document with the following information: 1. What do you expect your job to pay when you start? 2. What benefits are musts for you? 3. What benefits would you like to have even though they are not musts? 4. Include the graph you generate in step B below. B. Create a spreadsheet and a graph of life vs funds For each year of your remaining life specify the amount you plan to save/invest/withdraw that year and how much you expect that amount to increase during the year (base on actual data – typical savings interest rate, typical stock market interest rate, typical CDs, typical…). Calculate how much your funds will increase/decrease over your life and create a life (x-axis) vs funds (y-axis) plot.
An electronics firm has a contract to deliver thefollowing number of radios during the next three months;month 1, 200 radios; month 2, 300 radios; month 3, 300radios. For each radio produced during months 1 and 2, a$10 variable cost is incurred; for each radio produced duringmonth 3, a $12 variable cost is incurred. The inventory costis $1.50 for each radio in stock at the end of a month. Thecost of setting up for production during a month is $250. Radios made during a month may be used to meet demandfor that month or any future month. Assume that productionduring each month must be a multiple of 100. Given thatthe initial inventory level is 0 units, use dynamicprogramming to determine an optimal production schedule.
