Chapter 16, Problem 26P
(a) A computer equipment manufacture rproduces scanners and printers. The resources needed for producing these devices and the corresponding profits are
| Device | Capital ($/unit) | Labor (hr/unit) | Profit ($/unit) |
| Scanner | 300 | 20 | 500 |
| Printer | 400 | 10 | 400 |
If the reare$127,000 worth of capital and 4270 hr oflabor available each day, how many of each device should be produced per day to maximize profit?

Annual demand of a product is 50000 units and the
ordering cost is Rs. 7000 per order. Considering the basic
economic order quantity model, the economic order
quantity is 10000 units When the annual inventory cost is
minimized, the annual inventory holding cost (in Rs.) is
Suppose that a company needs 1,600,000 items during a year and that preparation for each production run costs $500. Suppose also that it costs $23 to produce each item and $4 per year to store an item. Use the
inventory cost model to find the number of items in each production run so that the total costs of production and storage are minimized.
Supposes a shoe factory produce both low grade and higher grade shoes. The factory produce at least twice as many low grade as higher grade shoes. The maximum possible production is 500 pairs of shoes. A dealer calls for delivery of at least 100 high grade pairs of shoes per day. Suppose the oppression makes a profit of birr 2.00 per a pair of shoes on high grade shoes and birr 1.00 per pairs of shoes on low grade shoes. How many pairs of shoes of each type should be produce for maximum profit?
