Flint lab produces 4 high tech product types. Each of the products must be wired, drilled, assembled and checked for quality standard before being delivered to consumers. The time requirement and profit for each product are as follows. Product A: 0.5 hr for wiring, 3 hrs for drilling, 1 hr for assembling, and 0.5 hr for inspection. One product A can be sold for $10 per unit. Product B: 1.5 hr for wiring, 1 hrs for drilling, 3 hrs for assembling, and 1 hr for inspection. One product B can be sold for $13 per unit. Product C: 1.5 hr for wiring, 2 hrs for drilling, 3 hrs for assembling, and 0.5 hr for inspection. One product C can be sold for $16 per unit. Product D: 1 hr for wiring, 3 hrs for drilling, 2 hrs for assembling, and 0.5 hr for inspection. One product D can be sold for $12 per unit. The maximum capacity for wiring, drilling, assembly, and inspection are 1500 hrs; 2350 hrs; 2600 hrs; and 1200 hrs respectively. Flint lab requires that there will be at least 150 units of A, 100…

- If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.arrow_forwardRedo Exercise 5, assuming that the house blend contains 300 grams of Colombian beans, 50 grams of Kenyan beans, and 150 grams of French roast beans and the gourmet blend contains 100 grams of Colombian beans, 350 grams of Kenyan beans, and 50 grams of French roast beans. This time the merchant has on hand 30 kilograms of Colombian beans, 15 kilograms of Kenyan beans, and 15 kilograms of French roast beans. Suppose one bag of the house blend produces a profit of $0.50, one bag of the special blend produces a profit of $1.50, and one bag of the gourmet blend produces a profit of $2.00. How many bags of each type should the merchant prepare if he wants to use up all of the beans and maximize his profit?

The Saddle Mine costs $15,000/day to operate, and it yields 65 oz of gold and 2900 oz of silver each day. The Horseshoe Mine costs $15,500/day to operate, and it yields 70 oz of gold and 1300 oz of silver each day. Company management has set a target of at least 540 oz of gold and 16,800 oz of silver.

- I need help please.arrow_forwardA mining company exploits two types of minerals, its starting cost is $ 100,000. The cost per kg is $ 100 and $ 150 respectively. For safety, the overall maximum inventory should be 80,000 kg. Product 2 that requires a maximum inventory of $ 2,000,000 invested in warehouse. Consider that the monthly demand is 40,000 and 30,000 units respectively. The weekly cost of the inventory rate is 10% for the average inventory. The total inventory turnover policy must be greater than or equal to 50 (remember that inventory turnover is defined as the annual demand for all items expressed in dollars, divided by the average total inventory investment).
