Chapter 4, Problem 37RE

Production A company produces two different grades of steel, A and B, at two different factories, 1 and 2. The following table summarizes the production capabilities of the factories, the cost per day, and the number of units of each grade of steel that is required to fill orders.

Factory 1 Factory 2 Required
Grade A steel 1 unit 2 units 80 units
Grade B steel 3 units 2 units 140 units
Cost per day $5000 $6000

How many days should each factory operate to fill the orders at minimum cost? What is the minimum cost? Use graphical methods.

  • Optimal Labor A manufacturer has two different factories that produce three grades of steel: structural steel, rail steel, and pipe steel. They must produce 32 tons of structural, 26 tons of rail, and 30 tons of pipe steel to fill an order. The table shows the number of employees at each factory and the amounts of steel they produce hourly. How many hours should each factory operate to fill the orders at the minimum labor (in employee-hours)? What is the minimum labor?
    Investment Portfolio: In Exercise 57 and 58, you invest in AAA-rated bonds, A-rated bonds, and B-rated bonds. The average yields are 4.5 on AAA bonds, 5 on A bonds, and 9 on B bonds. You invest twice as much in B bonds as in A bonds. Let x, y, and z represent the amounts invested in AAA, A, and B bonds, respectively. { x+y+z=(totalinvestment)0.045x+0.05y+0.09z=(annualreturn)2yz=0 Use the inverse of the coefficient matrix of this system to find the amount invested in each type of bond for the given total investment and annual return.
