- The steps for defining a linear problem include:
- Identifying the decision variables.
- Writing the objective function.
- Mentioning the constraints.
- Explicitly stating the non-negativity restriction.
- A problem will be a linear problem if and only if the decision variables, objective function and constraints all are linear functions.
- If all the three conditions are satisfied, then it is a linear problem.
- Let

A pharma company produces two types of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), API T and API C.
Many biochemical materials are usually necessary to produce a small amount of APIs. To produce
1kg of API T, one must use 5kg and 10kg of biochemical materials W and P, respectively. To produce
1kg of API C, one must use 4 kg and 5 kg of biochemical materials W and P, respectively. It costs
$100 and $60 to produce 1kg API T and C, respectively. The pharma company can spend $600 at
most to produce the APIs. Taking into account yield uncertainties of the APIs, the pharma company
has two goals as follows.
Goal 1: The total amount of biochemical material W should be 35kg or more (i.e., approximately 35kg,
ideally more than 35kg. In the worst case, the amount is less than 35kg.)
Goal 2: The total amount of biochemical material P should be 60kg or less (i.e., approximately 60kg,
ideally less than 60kg. In the worst case, the amount is more than 60kg.)
The pharma company must determine how much…
A company owns the same asset in a ASIAN plant and in a UK plant . It has B $2,000,000 and a salvage value of 20% of B . For tax depreciation purposes, ASIA allows a straight line write-off over 5 years, while the UK allows SL write-off over 8 years. The general managers of the two plants want to know the difference in the depreciation amount for year 5.

- A company manufactures two types of trucks. Each truck must go through the painting shop and the assembly shop. If the painting shop were completely devoted to painting type 1 trucks, 800 per day could be painted, whereas if the painting shop were completely devoted to painting type 2 trucks, 700 per day could be painted. If the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 1 engines, 1500 per day could be assembled, whereas if the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 2 engines, 1200 per day could be assembled. It is possible, however, to paint both types of trucks in the painting shop. Similarly, it is possible to assemble both types in the assembly shop. Each type 1 truck contributes $1000 to profit; each type 2 truck contributes $1500.

A company is considering opening warehouses in four cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta. Each warehouse can ship 100 units per week. The weekly fixed cost of keeping each warehouse open is $400 for New York, $500 for Los Angeles, $300 for Chicago, and $150 for Atlanta. Region 1 of the country requires 80 units per week, region 2 requires 70 units per week, and region 3 requires 40 units per week. The costs (including production and shipping costs) of sending one unit from a plant to a region are shown in Table 3. We want to meet weekly demands at minimum cost, subject to the preceding information and the following restrictions: 1. If the New York warehouse is opened, then the Los Angeles warehouse must be opened. 2. At most two warehouses can be opened. 3. Either the Atlanta or the Los Angeles warehouse must be opened.

The second option is that management can add a toll-operated machine which will cost GH¢3,000 and this amount is a free gift from the Minister. This option will reduce the arrival rate to 35 motorists every 2 hours. However, management will have to pay the operator who will man the toll-operated machine a monthly salary of GH¢550.

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.
