COULD YOU SOLVE IT WITH EXCEL SOLVER. I NEED EXCEL SOLVER SOLUTION AND ALSO COULD YOU UPLOAD ANSWER WITH EXCEL SOLVER PHOTOS.
We illustrated how a machine replacement problem can be modeled as a shortest path problem. This is probably not the approach most people would think of when they first see a machine replacement problem. In fact, most people would probably never think in terms of a network. How would you model the problem? Does your approach result in an LP model?
How would you apply a linear programming model to your business? Provide one business application problem to solve.

- You have a new job as a Financial Planning assistant. Your client wants to invest money in stocks, bonds, and treasuries that have the dividend yields shown in the table below. Your job is to allocate their money across these three investments such that the total dollars of stocks is at least $10,000 more than the total dollars in bonds plus treasuries. In addition, they have identified the maximum investment in each of those three investment types (also shown below). Maximize the dividends earned. Your answer will be the total Dividends earned (rounded to whole dollars). Scenario 3 Stocks: yield % 1.14 Bonds: yield % 3.03 Treasuries: yield % 2.08 Stocks: $ max 410,000 Bonds: $ max 300,000 Treasuries: $ max 300,000arrow_forwardCreative Robotics (CR) manufactures two lightweight robots designed for easier house-cleaning. The Alpha-ONE model is older, heavier, and is designed for carpet cleaning. The Alpha-TWO model is newer, lighter, and is designed primarily for wooden floor cleaning. The management team is trying to identify how to minimize the total costs of producing these two models. Their full-time workers consist of primarily manufacturing experts and about 3 people are required to commit themselves to manufacture the Alpha-ONE model and 4 for the Alpha-TWO model, per day. They have a total pool of 100 full-time workers now but are willing to hire more manufacturers if required. Similarly, the Alpha-TWO model is more complex and management has a pool of 20 part-time technical workers to help with the complexity, every day. Again, they are willing to hire more part-time workers if required to assist with the Alpha-TWO model.

- Federated Oil has refineries in Los Angeles and Chicago. The Los Angeles refinery can refine up to two million barrels of oil per year, and the Chicago refinery up to three million. After the oil is refined, it is shippedto two distribution points, Houston and New York City. Federated Oil estimates that each distribution point can sell up to five million barrelsper year. Because of differences in shipping and refining costs, the profit earned (in dollars) per million barrels of oil shipped depends on where the oil was refined and on the point of distribution. This information is listed in the file P04_69.xlsx. The company is considering expanding the capacity of each refinery.Each million barrels of annual refining capacity that isadded will cost $120,000 for the Los Angeles refinery and $150,000 for the Chicago refinery. Determine how Federated Oil can maximize its profit (including expansion costs) over a 10-year period.arrow_forwardIn a metropolitan area, 45,000 people want to travel from the city suburbs to the city center. To do so, they can drive, take a city bus, or use the subway system. Ifx1 number of people drive and x2 number of people take a bus, it will take respectively (0.0006 x1 + 30) and (0.0003 x2 + 40) minutes to make the trip;whereas a subway trip is expected to take 45 minutes. The city bus system can transport a maximum of 20,000 people to the city center, while the subway systemhas a capacity of transporting at most 10,000. Write a programming formulation that minimizes the average travel time for each person.arrow_forwardAn infrastructure firm that has the strategic objective of “maximizing the return on its investments” may put together a portfolio that includes a mix of projects in oil and gas, power, water, roads, rail, and airports. From this mix, the firm may choose to manage related projects as programs. All of the power projects may be grouped together as a power program. Similarly, all of the water projects may be grouped together as water program. Thus the power program and water program become integral components of the enterprise portfolio of the infrastructure firm. By analyzing the above scenario and keeping in view the organizational leadership effect on project management activities, how the Project Manager can utilize his planning responsibilities which can help in managing and controlling project risks?arrow_forward
- The figure below shows the possible routes from city A to city M as well as the cost (in dollars) of a trip between each pair of cities (note that if no arc joins two cities it is not possible to travel non-stop between those two cities). A traveler wishes to find the lowest cost option to travel from city A to city M. Which type of network optimization problem is used to solve this problem?

Each supply node can ship to each transshipment node but cannot ship to any demand node or to any other supply node. Each transshipment node can ship to each demand node, but cannot ship to any supply node or to any other transshipment node.

The company owns several warehouses to hold many of the goods it sells but also leases extra warehouse space when needed. During the next five months, the company expects it will need to lease the following amounts of extra warehouse space: Month 1 2 3 4 5 Square Feet Needed 20,000 30,000 40,000 35,000 50,000 At the beginning of any month, the company can lease extra space for one or more months at the following costs: Lease term (months) 1 2 3 4 5 Cost per Sq. Ft. Leased $55 $95 $130 $155 $185 So, for instance, at the start of month 1 the company can lease as much space as it wants for four months at a cost of $155 per square foot. Similarly, at the start of month 3, the company can lease any amount of space for two months at a cost of $95 per square foot.
