Chapter 19, Problem 5P
A retired couple supplement their income by making fruit pies, which they sell to a local grocery store. During the month of September, they produce apple and grape pies. The apple pies are sold for $1.50 to the grocer, and the grape pies are sold for $1.20. The couple is able to sell all of the pies they produce owing to their high quality. They use fresh ingredients. Flour and sugar are purchased once each month. For the month of September, they have 1,200 cups of sugar and 2,100 cups of flour. Each apple pie requires 1 ½ cups of sugar and 3 cups of flour, and each grape pie requires 2 cups of sugar and 3 cups of flour.
a. Determine the number of grape and the number of apple pies that will maximize revenues if the couple working together can make an apple pie in six minutes and a grape pie in three minutes. They plan to work no more than 60 hours.
b. Determine the amounts of sugar, flour, and time that will be unused.

A purchasing agent for a particular type of silicon wafer used in the production ofsemiconductors must decide among three sources. Source A will sell the siliconwafers for $2.50 per wafer, independently of the number of wafers ordered. Source Bwill sell the wafers for $2.40 each but will not consider an order for fewer than3,000 wafers, and Source C will sell the wafers for $2.30 each but will not acceptan order for fewer than 4,000 wafers. Assume an order setup cost of $100 and anannual requirement of 20,000 wafers. Assume a 20 percent annual interest rate forholding cost calculations.c. If the replenishment lead time for wafers is three months, determine the reorderpoint based on the on-hand level of inventory of wafers
