A company produces two products: A and B. Prod-uct A sells for $11 per unit and product B sells for
$23 per unit. Producing a unit of product A requires
two hours on assembly line 1 and one unit of raw ma-terial. Producing a unit of product B requires two units
of raw material, one unit of A, and two hours on as-sembly line 2. On line 1, 1300 hours of time are avail-able, and 500 hours are available on line 2. A unit of
raw material can be bought (for $5 a unit) or produced(at no cost) by using two hours of time on line 1.a. Determine how to maximize profit.b. The company will stop buying raw material whenthe price of raw material exceeds what value? (UseSolverTable.)
Deutchlander Machine Company (DMC) makes two types of printing presses: a four-color lithoand a two-color litho. Demand for both products is booming and exceeds DMC’s ability to satisfyit. Most raw materials are plentiful, but production is limited by three factors: a shortage of steelrollers, gear cutting capacity, and roller polishing capacity. Each four-color press requires 16rollers, and each two-color press requires 8 rollers. The four-color presses require 30 hours ofgear cutting and 8 hours of polishing time, and the two-color presses require 12 hours of gearcutting and 3 hours of polishing time. DMC is able to buy 100 rollers per week, and it has 160hours of gear cutting time and 40 hours of polishing time available per week. To avoid harminglong-term sales, DMC does not want to raise prices. At current prices DMC will earn a profit ofDM24,000 on each four-color press made and DM10,000 on each two-color press made. So asnot to abandon either product market, DMC also wants to…
JokersRWild makes playing cards in several different styles, but a “standard” deck of cards is used for planning purposes. The average worker at JokersRWild can make 10,000 sets of decks of cards per month at a cost of $3.40 per deck during regular production and $3.70 during overtime. The company currently employs 35 workers. Experience shows that it costs $1,700 to hire a worker and $1,700 to fire a worker. Inventory carrying cost is $.49 per deck per month.
The beginning inventory is 54,000, and at least that amount is desired each month. Assume hiring and layoff/firing, if necessary, occur at the beginning of the month.
