Explanation of Solution
Maximization of Net Present Value (NPV) of Finco:
In the given information, each dollar invested reduces the NPV of the company by
Let the investment done by Fincobe x1 and debt taken by him be x2.
The NPV of the company is,
This NPV is to be maximized. So the objective function for the Linear
The provided constraints are:
Constraint 1:
Finco can invest at most $1 million during the coming year that is the investment should be less than $1 million, so the constraint formed is:
Constraint 2:
At most 40% of investment in the debt. So, the constraint formed is:
Constraint 3:
Finco now has $800000 in cash available. All the investment must be paid for from the current cash or borrowed money. So, all the investments and debts must be paid from current cash of $800000

- A hospital needs to purchase 3 gallons of perishable medicine for use during the current month and 4 gallons for use during the next month. Because the medicine is perishable, it can only be used during the month of purchase. Two companies (Daisy and Laroach) sell the medicine. The medicine is in short supply. Thus, during the next two months, the hospital is limited to buying at most 5 gallons from each company. The companies charge the prices shown in the table below. Formulate a balanced transportation model to minimize the cost of purchasing the needed medicine.arrow_forwardWorkers at a particular company are paid at a rate of 150.00 per hour for up to 40 hours of work at hour over that is paid at a rate of 1.5 times the normal rate. From the worker’s gross pay, 14% is withheld for income tax, 5% withheld for social security system tax, and 13% is withheld for state income tax. An additional 10% is withheld if the worker has 3 or more covered dependents to cover extra cost of health insurance. Draw the flowchart and write or code the C program that outputs the worker’s gross pay, each withholding and the net take home pay for the week.arrow_forwardWorkers at a particular company are paid at a rate of 150.00 per hour for up to 40 hours of work at hour over that is paid at a rate of 1.5 times the normal rate.

- He is given a commission on the basis of the following schedule: Monthly Sales: Less than P50,000 1% P50,000 − P99,999 2% P100,000 - P149,999 3% P150,000 and above 4% Compute for his commission assuming his total sales are: a) P75,800 b) P49,900 c) P151,200 d) P123,500arrow_forwardThe Callaghan family owns 410 acres of farmland in Co. Cork on which they grow wheat and oats. Each acre of wheat costs €105 to plant, cultivate, and harvest; each acre of oats costs €210. The Bradleys have a budget of €52,500 for next year. The government limits the number of acres of oats that can be planted to 100. The profit from each acre of wheat is €300; the profit from each acre of oats is €520. The Callaghans want to know how many acres of each crop to plant in order to maximize their profit. ii. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.arrow_forwardAssuming all Ghanaians who are at least 18 years can choose between going to school or learning a trade. GHC 100 is invested every month for a person who chooses to go to school by the government till the person attains age 30 years provided he/she completes university. If he/she does not complete university, the payment is stopped at the time he/she exited. If the person chooses to learn a trade, the government pays GHC 2000 as apprentice fee to the madam or master who will take the person as an apprentice, and invest GHC 70 a month till age 30 years. If the person does not complete the apprenticeship, the payment is stopped at the time he/she exited. Remember that persons who are less than 18 years or 30 years and above do NOT qualify to enroll on this program. You are to write a c++ program for the above scenario. Your program should a) compute the total investment made for the person if he/she either finishes or exited along the way. b) display the results.arrow_forward

You see, first we determine if it is a local trip. If it is, we only pay mileage of 45 cents a mile. If the trip was a one-day trip, we pay mileage and then check the times of departure and return. To be reimbursed for breakfast, you must leave by 7:00 A.M., lunch by 11:00 A.M., and have dinner by 5:00 P.M. To receive reimbursement for breakfast, you must return later than 10:00 A.M., lunch later than 2:00 P.M., and have dinner by 7:00 P.M. On a trip lasting more than one day, we allow hotel, taxi, and airfare, as well as meal allowances. The same times apply for meal expenses.” Draw a decision tree depicting the reimbursement policy in this Problem using LucidChart or Word documentarrow_forward
- The public utilities commission has decided that the electric company overcharged its customers for two months last year. To make up the difference to the customers, the commission orders the company to decrease each of the next month’s bills by 10%. The city also levies a 3%utility tax, which is to be applied to the bill before it is discounted. Also, the10% discount does not apply to the utility tax. Assume electricity costs $0.16per kilowatt-hour.
