A clothing manufacturer makes trousers, skirts and blouses. Each trouser requires 20 minutes of cutting time, 60 minutes of sewing time and 5 minutes of packaging time. Each skirt requires 15 minutes of cutting time, 30 minutes of sewing time and 12 minutes of packaging time. Each blouse requires 10 minutes of cutting time, 24 minutes of sewing time and 6 minutes of packaging time.
The amount of time available for cutting, sewing and packaging is 115 hours, 280 hours and 65 hours respectively. Using either the Inverse Method or the Cramer’s Rule, determine how many of each type of clothing should be made to use all available labor hours?

- A strawberry growing company is deciding its production and sale plan for the national and international markets.The sale price for each ton of strawberry depends on the quantity offered in the market. If x1 tons is offered for the domestic market, the sale price will be (30 - x1) CU / ton, while if x2 tons is offered for the international market, the sale price will be (40 - x2) CU / ton.The cost for each ton of strawberry for the domestic market is 10 MUs, while for the international market it is 15 MUs.The company has the capacity to produce up to 10 tons of strawberries for sale and, according to SAG restrictions, it must dedicate at least 10% of its production to the international market.For technical production reasons, the company must additionally satisfy the following restriction: x12 + x22 ≤64.a) Raise the NLP model that allows maximizing the net profit for the companyb) State the KKT conditions for the problem and indicate whether they are necessary and / or sufficient.c)…arrow_forwardA strawberry growing company is deciding its production and sale plan for the national and international markets.The sale price for each ton of strawberry depends on the quantity offered in the market.

Each of the drivers must decide whether to come to place S via point G or via point D (see the directed graph below). The travel time on segments G-S and K-D is not dependent on the number of drivers: each driver traverses the G-S segment in 60 minutes, and the K-D segment in 45 minutes, regardless of the number of drivers. However, the travel time on segments K-G and D-S depends on the number of drivers: if x drivers travel on the K-G segment, each driver on this segment consumes 0.005x minutes; if x drivers travel on the D-S segment, each driver on this segment consumes 0.01x minutes (see the directed graph below). Assume that all people start simultaneously and do not know the decisions of other people. Find all pure Nash equilibria of the game.arrow_forward
- I need help with this problem and the answer is not 37.40, 26.93, and 86.2.arrow_forwardSumo wrestlers have 15 matches per tournament and the benefits of winning 8 matches (a winning record) are very large, compared to the benefits of winning a 5 matches (compared to 4) or the benefit of winning 10 matches (compared to 9). Sumo wrestlers who have won 7 matches and lost 7 matches tend to win a statistically anomalous (they win too often) amount of the time in their last match of the tournament. In order to show that this is unlikely to be explained by 'wrestlers with 7-7 record try hard to win' researchers show that wrestlers who win an 8th match in these circumstances then tend to lose a statistically anomalous amount of the time when they next face that same opponent (they lose too frequently when those wrestlers next meet). This result is consistent with 'win trading'. The researchers find that wrestlers about to retire benefit less from the 'wrestlers at 7-7 tend to win' effect.

If the price of a product increases, the quantity supplied will rise as more producers attempt to capitalise on the increased price. However, if supply increases then price will decrease, as more suppliers creates more competition.

Route I starts with a local street from A to C that takes x/10 hours, where x is number of travelers on the AC edge, and then is followed by a highway from city C to city B, which requires 8 hours regardless of the number of travelers on it. Route II begins with a highway from city A to city D which requires 4 hours regardless of the number of travelers on it and ends with a local street from city D to city B which requires y/20 hours, where y is the number of travelers on the DB edge. All roads above are one-way roads. There is also a two-way road between cities C and D that requires 8 hours of travel time in either direction regardless of the number of travelers going in either direction on it. Each traveler can use any of the routes ACB, ADB, ACDB and ADCB. Travelers simultaneously choose which route to use. Find Nash equilibrium values of x, y and number of…arrow_forward
