Summary Introduction
Case summary:
SL Company manufactures different varieties of chemical products utilized by photo-processors. It was bought out by a corporation recently. The managers have been assigned with the task of working jointly to manage the operations efficiently.
The manager of a department is given a weekly financial plan of $11,980 for the manufacturingof three chemical products. The budget is for, paying the expenses of labor, materials, and so forth. The manager is looking at maximizing the contribution from the given resources.
To determine:The new constraint for material A if there is a 5% waste factor.
Introduction:
Linear programming:
Linear programming is a mathematical modeling method where a linear function is maximized or minimized taking the various constraints present in the problem into consideration. It is useful in making quantitative decisions in business planning.

2. Provident Capital Corp. specializes in investment portfolios designed to meet the specific risk tolerances of its clients. A client contacted Provident with P2,000,000 available to invest.
Provident’s investment advisor recommends a portfolio consisting of two investment funds: the Dynamic fund and the Diversified fund. The Dynamic fund has a projected annual return of 10%, and the Diversified fund has a projected annual return of 8%.
The investment advisor requires that at most P1,400,000 of the client’s funds should be invested in the Dynamic fund. Provident’s services include a risk rating for each investment alternative. The Dynamic fund, which is the more risky of the two investment alternatives, has a risk rating of 6 per P40,000 invested. The Diversified fund has a risk rating of 4 per P40,000 invested. For example, if P400,000 is invested in each of the two investment funds, Provident’s risk rating for the portfolio would be 6(10) + 4(10) = 100.
Finally, Provident developed…
1. A distillery produces two types of alcohol for filling and distributing, the regular beer and the premium beer. A batch of regular costs $375 to manufacture and a container of the Premium beer costs $420. The manufacturer wishes to establish the weekly production plan that minimizes cost. Production of these products is limited to processing, testing and material. Each batch of regular beer requires 4 hours processing whereas each batch of premium requires 2 hours of processing. Further each batch of regular requires 4 hours of testing compared to 6 hours of testing for a batch of Super. A batch of regular and a batch of Super each require 1 litre of material. Processing and testing have a maximum of 100 and 180 hours available and the total material available is 40 litres. Because of an agreement, the sales of regular beer are limited to a weekly maximum of 20 batches and to honour an agreement with a loyal distributor, at least 10 batches of premium beer must be sold each week.…

Q. A gold processor has two sources of gold ore, source A and source B. In order to keep his plant running, at least three tons of ore must be processed each day. Ore from source A costs $1,000 per ton to process, and ore from source B costs $500 per ton to process. Costs must be kept to less than $4,000 per day. Moreover, Government Regulations require that the amount of ore from source B cannot exceed twice the amount of ore from source A.
If ore from source A yields 2 oz. of gold per ton, and ore from source B yields 3 oz. of gold per ton, how many tons of ore from both sources must be processed each day to maximize the amount of gold extracted subject to the above constraints? Formulate the LP model.

- Suppose a certain manufacturing company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $2,200, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,300. Manufacturing costs are $12 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $16 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,000 4-cylinder connecting rods.

- 4 Sunco processes oil into aviation fuel and heating oil. Itcosts $40 to purchase each 1,000 barrels of oil, which isthen distilled and yields 500 barrels of aviation fuel and 500barrels of heating oil. Output from the distillation may besold directly or processed in the catalytic cracker. If soldafter distillation without further processing, aviation fuelsells for $60 per 1,000 barrels, and heating oil sells for $40per 1,000 barrels. It takes 1 hour to process 1,000 barrels ofaviation fuel in the catalytic cracker, and these 1,000 barrelscan be sold for $130.

In a particular production process, three raw materials are blended (mixed together) to produce two products: a fuel additive and a solvent base.
