Calculating the extra payment:

  • Let xmn is the number of units of product n at plant m.
  • In order to minimize the cost of meeting these demands, the following Linear Programming has to be solved:
  • min z= 5x11+6x12+8x13+8x21+7x22+10x23
  • Such that,
    • x11+x12+x1310,000
    • x21+x22+x2310,000
    • x11+x216,000
    • x12+x228,000
    • x13+x235,000
    • All variables ≥ 0
  • The output of this Linear Programming is given below:
  • min z= 5x11+6x12+8x13+8x21+7x22+10x23
  • Subject to constraint
    • x11+x12+x1310,000
    • x21+x22+x2310,000
    • x11+x216,000
    • x12+x228,000
    • x13+x235,000
  • End
  • LP optimum is found at step 2

QUESTION 2 CU, Incorporated (CUI), produces copper contacts that it uses in switches and relays. CUI needs to determine the order quantity, Q, to meet the annual demand at the lowest cost. The price of copper depends on the quantity ordered. Annual demand is 25,000 kilograms per year. Holding cost is 20 percent per unit per year of the price of copper and the Ordering cost is $30.00. Table 2 that follows, shows the quantity discount schedule price-break: Table 2- Quantity Discount Schedule Quantity (kg) 5,000 and greater than 5,000 3,750 to 4,999 2,500 to 3,749 1,250 to 2,499 1 to 1,249 Price ($) 0.38 0.39 0.40 0.41 0.42 Determine the optimal order size that you would order if you were purchasing copper from CUI.
In Figure, suppose that the wellheads can be divided into two groups depending on gas pressure: a high-pressure group that includes wells 2, 3, 4, and 6 and a low-pressure group that includes wells 5, 7, 8, and 9 . Because of pressure difference, it is not possible to link the wellheads from the two groups. At the same time, both groups must be connected to the delivery point through wellhead 1. Determine the minimum pipeline network for this situation. Choices: a.) Set length of arcs 3-5, 5-3, 4-5, 5-4, 4-7, 7-4, 5-6, and 6-5 to ∞ : Total length = 53 b.) Set length of arcs 3-5, 5-3, 4-5, 5-4, 4-7, 7-4, 5-6, and 6-5: Total length = 53 c.) Set length of arcs 3-5, 5-3, 4-5, 5-4, 4-7, 7-4, 5-6, and 6-7 to ∞ : Total length = 53 d.) Set length of arcs 3-5, 5-3, 4-5, 5-4, 4-7, 7-4, and 6-5 to ∞ : Total length = 53
Pakistan Railway has hired you for the task of repair of its rail networks of province SINDH, the cost of the repair of track between the different cities are presented in the given Table. For instance, the entry (KHI,HYD)= 10 in the table tells us the cost of building a rail connection between these two cities is 10 (in million rupees)     You are required to develop a rail network that connects all the cities by at least one path with the smallest cost by avoiding multiple paths to the same city. Hence the problem becomes the finding of Minimum spanning tree in a graph.   Your job is as follows;   a) Translate the given information in the form of Graph (Vertices & edges) b) Use Greedy Algorithms (Kruskal’s , if the S5 is odd & Prim’s technique , if S5 is even) to build rail connections in this scenario. Apply this algorithm and show all steps up to the final routes. c) What is the cost of repairing of resulting rail network?
