An auto company manufactures cars and trucks. Each vehicle must be processed in the paint shop and body assembly shop. If the paint shop were only painting trucks, 40 per day could be painted. If the paint shop were only painting cars, 60 per day could be painted. If the body shop were only producing cars, it could process 50 per day. If the body shop were only producing trucks, it could process 50 per day. Each truck contributes $300 to profit and each car contributes $200 to profit. In addition, the auto company can produce at most 30 trucks and 20 cars. The company wants to determine the daily production schedule that will maximize the company’s profit. Formulate the LP model for the problem.
Please define the decision variables, define the objection function & define the constraints
Formulate decision variable, objective function, and constraints only.
Eastborne Realty has $2 million available for the purchase of new rental property. After an initial screening, Eastborne reduced the investment alternatives to townhouses and apartment buildings. Each townhouse can be purchased for $282,000, and five are available. Each apartment building can be purchased for $400,000, and the developer will construct as many buildings as Eastborne wants to purchase.
Eastborne’s property manager can devote up to 140 hours per month to these new properties; each townhouse is expected to require 4 hours per month, and each apartment building is expected to require 40 hours per month. The annual cash flow, after deducting mortgage payments and operating expenses, is estimated to be $10,000 per townhouse and $15,000 per apartment building. Eastborne’s owner would like to determine the number of townhouses and the number of apartment buildings to purchase to maximize annual cash flow.
