Products A,B, and C are sold door-to-door. A costs $ 3 per unit, take 10 minutes to sell (on the average) and
costs $0.50 to deliver to customer. B costs $ 5, takes 15 minutes to sell, and is left with the customer at the time
of sale. C costs $ 4, takes 12 minutes to sell, and costs $ 1 to deliver. During any week, a salesperson is allowed to
draw up to $ 500 worth of A,B,C (at cost) and is allowed delivery expenses not to exceeds $ 75. If a salesperson’s
selling time is not expected to exceed 30 hours (1,800 minutes) in a week, and if the salesperson profit (net after
all expenses) is $ 1 each on a unit of A and B and $ 2 on a unit of C, what combination of sales of A, B, and C
will lead to maximum profit, and what is the maximum profIt?
A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 15,604 units of component JY21 per year.
Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with a
lead time of 7 days. The unit purchase cost is $25.6 per unit. The cost to place and process an order
from the supplier is $121 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 10.5 percent of the
unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is appropriate. If
the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 2,640 units per order, what is the annual holding
cost?

Tom is a habitual shopper at garage sales. Last Saturday he stopped at one where there were several types of used building materials for sale. At the low prices being asked, Tom knew that he could resell the items in another town for a substantial gain. Four things stood in his way: he could only make one round trip to resell the goods; his pickup truck bed would hold only 1200 pounds; the pickup truck bed could hold at most 80 cubic feet of merchandise; and he had only $190 cash with him. He wants to load his truck with the mix of materials that will yield the greatest profit when he resells them. Formulate (define objective function and constraints) and solve this problem (using excel solver) as a linear program.
