Telefonika is a telecommunication company, located in the Accra Mall, selling mobile phones and accessories. Most of their new phones are ordered. But, Telefonika stocks three main phones for walk-in customers. Every week, they generate profit of GH¢600 from selling Galaxy S2, GH¢400 from Galaxy S3 and GH¢300 from Galaxy S4. The overall weekly cost of these types of phones are GH¢1,800, GH¢2,100 and GH¢1,200 respectively. This week, Telefonika has a budget of GH¢12,000 available to buy these three types of phones. During sales, each phone type must be unpacked, leading to 8 hours of unpacking time for S2 phones, 12 hours for S3 phones and 16 hours for S4 phones. The manager estimates that he and his workers have 120 labour hours available to unpack the three types of phones. Telefonika has enough space to order 20 phones this week. The manager also wants to stock at least twice as many S4 as S2 and S3 phones because S4 phones sell better.a) Formulate a linear programming model for this…
Ocean water contains 0.9 ounces of gold per ton. Method A costs $550 per ton of waterprocessed and will recover 90% of the metal. Method B costs $400 per ton of waterprocessed and will recover 60% of the metal. The two methods require the same capitalinvestment and are capable of producing the same amount of gold each day. If the extractedgold can be sold for $1,750 per ounce, which method should be recommended? The supplyof ocean water is essentially unlimited.
Accounting procedures allow a business to evaluate its inventory costs based on two methods: LIFO (last in first out) or FIFO (first in first out). A manufacturer evaluated its finished goods inventory (in $000s) for five products with the LIFO and FIFO methods. To analyze the difference, they computed FIFO − LIFO for each product. We would like to determine if the LIFO method results in a lower cost of inventory than the FIFO method. The company wishes to test this hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance.

- If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.arrow_forwardAccounting procedures allow a business to evaluate their inventory costs based on two methods: LIFO (last in first out) or FIFO (first in first out).

- A large department store needs at least 3600 labor hours covered per week. It employs full-time staff 40 hr/wk and part- time staff 25 hr/wk. The cost to employ a full-time staff member is more because the company pays benefits such as health care and life insurance. Hours per Week Cost per Hour Full time 40 hr $25 Part time 25 hr $18 The store manager also knows that to make the store run efficiently, the number of full-time employees must be at least 1.25 times the number of part-time employees. a. Determine the number of full-time employees and the number of part-time employees that should be used to minimize the weekly labor cost. b. What is the minimum weekly cost to staff the store under these constraints?arrow_forwardA publishing company sells 400,000 copies of a certain book each year. Ordering the entire amount printed at the beginning of the year ties up valuable storage space and capital. However, printing the copies in several partial runs throughout the year results in added costs for setting up each printing run, which costs $1000. The carrying costs, figured on the average number of books in storage, are $.50 per book. Find the most economical lot size, that is, the production run size that minimizes the total setting up andcarrying costs.arrow_forwardHenry Lee is the Vice President of Purchasing for the consumer electronics division of the Major Electric Corporation (MEC). The company recently introduced a new type of video camcorder that has taken the market by storm. Although Henry is pleased with the strong demand for this product in the market place, it has been a challenge to keep up with MEC's distributors' orders of this camcorder. His current challenge is how to meet requests from MEC's major distributors in Pittsburgh, Denver, Baltimore, and Houston who have placed orders of 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 25,000 units, respectively, for delivery in 2 months (there is a 1-month manufacturing and one-month shipping lead time for this product). MEC has contracts with companies in Hong Kong, Korea, and Singapore who manufacture camcorders for the company under the MEC label. These contracts require MEC to order a specified minimum number of units each month at a guaranteed per unit cost. The contracts also specify the maximum…arrow_forward
