Create spreadsheets and use Solver to determine the correct volumes to be produced to minimize cost for the following problem. Your company has two trucks that it wishes to use on a specific contract. One is a new truck the company is making payments on, and one is an old truck that is fully paid for. The new truck’s costs per mile are as follows: 54₵ (fuel/additives), 24₵ (truck payments), 36₵ (driver), 12₵ (repairs), and 1₵ (misc.). The old truck’s costs are 60₵ (fuel/additives), 0₵ (truck payments), 32₵ (rookie driver), 24₵ (repairs), and 1₵ (misc.). The company knows that truck breakdowns lose customers, so it has capped estimated repair costs at $14,000. The total distance involved is 90,000 miles (to be divided between the two trucks).

His customers include individual homeowners and businesses that subscribe to his service for lawn care beginning in the spring and ending in the fall with leaf raking and disposal. Thus, when he begins his service in April he generally has a full list of customers and does not take on additional customers any time after the first of June, it is difficult to find new customers, since most people make lawn service arrangements forth the entire summer. Mark employs five crews, with three to five workers each, to cut grass during the spring and summer months. A crew normally works 10-hour days and can average cutting about 25 normal-size lawns of less than a half-acre each day. A crew will normally have one heavy-duty, wide-cut riding mower, a regular power mower, and trimming equipment. When a crew descends on a lawn, the normal procedure is for one person to mow the main part of the lawn with the riding…arrow_forwardNOTE: The answer of this question should be limited to ONE page of writing with reasonable size of fonts. The provincial government plans to distribute certain types of vaccines to the 3 major urban centers of the province covering a large portion of the provincial population. The 5 million doses of vaccines are expected to arrive in large batches at one of the major cargo airports by 2 military transporter airplanes in a single day. The vaccines will then be distributed to the 3 cities with the number of doses corresponding to the population sizes of the 3 cities. They will be further distributed to the 20 hospitals and about 200 local clinics in these 3 cities. Officials of the provincial health agency must plan for the upcoming vaccine distribution.
