Your salami manufacturing plant can order up to 1,000 pounds of pork and 2,400 pounds of beef per day for use in manufacturing its two specialties: Count Dracula Salami and Frankenstein Sausage. Production of the Count Dracula variety requires 1 pound of pork and 3 pounds of beef for each salami, while the Frankenstein variety requires 2 pounds of pork and 2 pounds of beef for every sausage. In view of your heavy investment in advertising Count Dracula Salami, you have decided that at least one third of the total production should be Count Dracula. On the other hand, because of the health-conscious consumer climate, your Frankenstein Sausage (sold as having less beef) is earning your company a profit of $5 per sausage, while sales of the Count Dracula variety are down and it is earning your company only $1 per salami. Given these restrictions, how many of each kind of sausage should you produce to maximize profits, and what is the maximum possible profit (in dollars)? Dracula Salamis Frankenstein Sausages profit$

A glassblower makes glass decanters and glass trays on a weekly basis. Each item requires 1 pound of glass, and the glassblower has 15 pounds of glass available each week. A glass de- canter requires 4 hours of labor, a glass tray requires only 1 hour of labor, and the glassblower works 25 hours a week. The profit from a decanter is $50, and the profit from a tray is $10. The glassblower wants to determine the total number of decanters (x1) and trays (x2) that he needs to produce in order to maximize his profit. Requirements:a) Define decision variables and tabulated datab) Formulate the Integer Linear Programming Model.
The Sanders Garden Shop mixes two types of grass seed into a blend. Each type of grass has been rated (per pound) according to its shade tolerance, ability to stand up to traffic, and drought resistance, as shown in the table. Type A seed costs $1 and Type B seed costs $2. If the blend needs to score at least 300 points for shade tolerance, 400 points for traffic resistance, and 750 points for drought resistance, how many pounds of each seed should be in the blend to meet the specifications at minimal cost. How much will the blend cost?Type A Type BShade Tolerance 1 1Traffic Resistance 2 1Drought Resistance 2 5
Chicago Mercy Hospital needs to order drugs that are used to treat heart attack victims. Annually, 500 units of drug 1 and 800 units of drug 2 are used. The unit purchasing cost for drug 1 is $150 per unit, and the unit cost of purchasing drug 2 is $300. It costs $20 to store a unit of each drug for a year. When only drug 1 is ordered, an order for drug 1 costs $400. When only drug 2 is ordered, an order for drug 2 costs $600. If both drugs are ordered at the same time, the cost of placing an order is $800. Chicago Mercy’s annual cost of capital is 18%. Determine a cost-minimizing ordering policy
Formulate and then solve a linear programming model of this problem, to determine how manycontainers of each product to produce tomorrow to maximize profits. The company makes fourjuice products using orange, grapefruit, and pineapple juice.Product Retail Price per QuartOrange juice $1.00Grapefruit juice .90Pineapple juice .80All-in-One 1.10The All-in-One juice has equal parts of orange, grapefruit, and pineapple juice. Each product isproduced in a one-quart size (there are four quarts in a gallon). On hand are 400 gallons of orangejuice, 300 gallons of grapefruit juice, and 200 gallons of pineapple juice. The cost per gallon is$2.00 for orange juice, $1.60 for grapefruit juice, and $1.40 for pineapple juice.In addition, the manager wants grapefruit juice to be used for no more than 30 percent of thenumber of containers produced. She wants the ratio of the number of containers of orange juice tothe number of containers of pineapple juice to be at least 7 to 5.
You own a hamburger franchise and are planning to shut down operations for the day, but you are left with 12 buns, 15 defrosted beef patties, and 10 opened cheese slices. Rather than throw them out, you decide to use them to make burgers that you will sell at a discount. Plain burgers each require 1 beef patty and 1 bun, double cheeseburgers each require 2 beef patties, 1 bun, and 2 slices of cheese, while regular cheeseburgers each require 1 beef patty, 1 bun, and 1 slice of cheese. How many of each should you make?

A manufacturer produces both widgets and gadgets. Widgets generate a profit of $50 each and gadgets have a profit margin of $40 each. To produce each item, a setup cost is incurred. This setup cost is $300 for widgets and $400 for gadgets. Widgets consume 5 units of raw material A and 4 units of raw material B. Gadgets consume 6 units of raw material A and 2 units of raw material B. Each day, the manufacturer has 600 units of each raw material available. Assume that it is possible to produce fractional quantities of widgets and gadgets. Set up the problem in Excel and find the optimal solution.
