Owner Luis Borges hopes the contract will be extended and the volume increased next year. Borges has developed costs for three alternatives. They are general-purpose equipment (GPE), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), and expensive, but efficient, dedicated machine (DM). The cost data follow: Annual contracted units Annual fixed cost Per unit variable cost General-Purpose Equipment (GPE) 75,000 $100,000 $18.00 Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) 75,000 $250,000 $14.50 Dedicated Machine (DM) 75,000 $500,000 $13.00arrow_forwardCompute the volumes of cut and fill between stations 88+30 to 88+68 using the slope stake notes in the table on the following page.

- Sprocket manufacturing. The manager of this production firm is faced with a potential problem: shortages in the supply of a vital gear sprocket. He is considering the development of an in-house capability to make the sprockets, knowing that the firm needs 35,000 such sprockets each year. If the firm elects to make the sprockets internally, then it must select one of the three possible production processes. Each has different costs, as shown in Table 10.17. Adopting a manual process may lead to union problems. The manager estimates the probability of these problems as 25%, and knows that if they do occur, then the variable cost will increase by $0.50 per sprocket. Further, if the semi-automatic or fully automatic option is selected, then additional training of personnel will be required. The amount and therefore the cost of training are uncertain. For the semi-automatic process, the fixed cost of basic training will add $15,000. However, there is a 20% chance the workers will need extra…arrow_forwardG-Motor manufactures airplane engines and has an annual capacity of ? units. For the current production facilities, the company has an annual cost of $?? million. G-motor plans to expand its current aircraft engine capacity in light of anticipated growth in aircraft engine demand in the coming years. The company intends to expand its manufacturing capacity by establishing new facilities. Production facilities can be set up in two ways (called as type A and type B). While the cost of establishing a type A manufacturing facility in any given year is $??, the production capacity of such a facility is ?? units. The cost of establishing a Type B manufacturing facility is $??, and the anticipated production capacity is ?? units. Annual expenditures for any facility of type A or B are projected to be $? million dollars. G-Motor aims to make a decision about the establishment of a new facility during the planned period t=2022, 2023,...,T.

He would like to know how much the merchandise should be marked up so that after paying all the expenses at the end of the year he gets approximately 10% net profit on the merchandise cost. Note that after marking up the price of an item he would like to put the item on 15% sale. Write a program that prompts Adnan to enter the total cost of the merchandise, the salary of the employees (including his own salary), the yearly rent, and the estimated electricity cost. The program then outputs how much the merchandise should be marked up so that Adnan gets the desired profit.arrow_forwardA company wants to plan production for the ensuing year to minimize the combined cost of production and inventory costs. In each quarter of the year, demand is anticipated to be 130, 160, 250, and 150 units, respectively. The plant can produce a maximum of 200 units each quarter. The product can be manufactured at a cost of $15 per unit during the first quarter, however the manufacturing cost is expected to rise by $1 per quarter. Excess production can be stored from one quarter to the next at a cost of $1.50 per unit, but the storage facility can hold a maximum of 60 units. How should the production be scheduled so as to minimize the total costs? Please answer using python Formulate an LP model to minimize costs.
