In the optimal solution, Happy Nuts should produce _______ bags of Party Nuts.
During the next four months, a customer requires, respectively, 600, 800, 1,200, and 900 units of a commodity, and no backlogging is allowed (that is, the customer's requirements must be met on time). Production costs are $80, $100, $105, and $90 per unit during these months. The storage cost from one month to the next is $20 per unit (assessed on ending inventory). It is estimated that each unit on hand at the end of month 4 can be sold for $60. Assume there is no beginning inventory. Determine how to minimize the net cost incurred in meeting the demands for the next four months.
a. What is the optimized net cost?$
b. Use SolverTable to see what happens to the decision variables and the total cost when the initial inventory varies from 0 to 1,000 in 100-unit increments. How much lower would the total cost be if the company started with 100 units in inventory, rather than none?$

- Bangs Leisure Chairs produces three types of hand-crafted outdoor chairs that are popular for beach, pool, and patios – sling chairs, Adirondack chairs, and hammocks. The unit profit for these products is $40, $100, and $90, respectively. Each type of chair requires cutting, assembling, and finishing. The owner is retired and is available to work 6 hours per day for 5 days per week, so there will be 120 hours available each month. He doesn’t want to spend more than 50 hours each month on any one activity (that is, no more than 50 hours on cutting, no more than 50 hours on assembling, no more than 50 hours on finishing, in a given month). The retailer who buys the chairs will buy all that can be produced. Sling chairs are made up of ten wood pieces for the frame and one piece of cloth. The actual cutting of the wood takes 30 minutes (0.5 hour). Assembling includes sewing of the fabric and the attachment of rivets, screws, fabric, and dowel rods and takes 45 minutes (0.75 hour).

The unit costs of these resources are $5 per hour of labor, $7 per unit of leather, and $3 per unit of wool. In each production cycle, the company has 1000 hours of labor available, 800 units of leather, and 900 units of wool. To avoid inventory surplus at the end of the production cycle, the sales department has set maximum production limits for each jacket type, stipulating that no more than 200 jackets of type 1, 100 jackets of type 2, and 150 jackets of type 3 should be produced.
