A farmer is planning to raise wheat and barley. Each acre of wheat yields a profit of $50, and each acre of barley yields a profit of $70. To sow the crop, two machines, a tractor and a tiller are rented. The tractor is available for 150 hours, and the tiller is available for 200 hours. Sowing an acre of wheat requires 4 hours of tractor time and 1 hour of tilling. Sowing an acre of barley requires 3 hours of tractor time and 2 hours of tilling. How many acres of each crop should be planted to maximize the farmer’s profit? (Let W be the number of acres of wheat to be planted, B the number of acres of barley to be planted and P the profit) What is the objective function for the problem? Excluding the non-negative constraint, how many constraints does the problem have? What is the linear programming model of the problem? In the initial tableau, what is the leaving variable?

. Employees of a certain firm are paid on hourly basis at the end of each week. If an employee works up to 40hrs, the employee is paid 6 GHS and 7 GHS per hour for a male and female respectively.
If an employee works for more than 50 hours then the employee is also paid 2.5 the corresponding regular rate for hours worked in excess of 40. All employees are to pay 10 % of their gross as INCOME TAX and 2.5% towards the NHIS. If an employee has more than 3 children then he or she pays 2 cedis per child in excess of three towards GETFUND. Write a C++ program that can print onto screen the Net Salary of any staff onto screen. NB (NETSALARY is equal to gross salary less all deductions (VAT, NHIS, GETFUND).
Write a C++ program and draw a flow chart for a software solution that can solve for the problem above.
A company uses four special tank trucks to deliver four different gasoline products to customers. Eachtank has five compartments with capacities: 500, 750, 1200, 1500, and 1750 gallons. The daily demands forthe four products are 10000, 15000, 12000, and 8000 gallons. Any quantities that cannot be delivered by thecompany’s four trucks must be subcontracted at the additional costs of 5, 12, 8, and 10 cents per gallon forproducts 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The goal is to develop the optimal daily loading schedule for the fourtrucks that will minimize the additional cost of subcontracting. Formulate this problem as an integer linearprogram, and solve it (not by hand).

If any user wants to change/replace his meter, he will be charged taka 2000. The monthly bill will be generated based on ● Customer Category ● Consumed Units ● Phase ● For Category 3 and 5 along with other parameters, you need to also consider flat rate, peak time, and off-peak time. Take input from the user, how many units were consumed during flat rate, peak, or off-peak time. ● Meter Charge Write a program to read the name of the user, Customer Category, Phase, number of units consumed and print out the monthly bill. Note that ● Phase, flat rate, peak time and off-peak time will be appeared based on the customer category. ● The monthly bill will be calculated following the number of Days in a montharrow_forward
