Explanation of Solution

Dakota problem:

No”, the current basis is no longer optimal.

Reasons:

  • The primal to the Dakota problem is,

  max z =60x1+30x2+20x3

  • The above function subject to the following conditions,
    • 8x1+6x2+x3 48” denotes lumber condition.
    • 4x1+2x2+ 1.5x3 20” denotes the finishing condition.
    • 2x1+1.5x2+ 0.5x38” denotes the carpentry condition.
    • All the variables should be non-negative.
  • For the above problem, the optimal solution is ,

  z =280, x1=  2, x2= 0, x3= 8s1=24s2 = 0s3 = 0

  • The dual for the Dakota problem is,

min w=48y1+ 20y2+ 8y3

  • The above function subject to the following conditions,
    • 8y1 +4y2 +2y3 60” denotes the desk condition.
    • 6y1 +2y2 +1

6. Consider a modification to the rod-cutting problem in which, in addition to a value pi for each rod, there is handling cost ci that is one and a half times the length of the rod cut plus a flat fee of 3 (i.e., the handling cost to cut a rod of length 5 is 7.5+3 =10). The revenue generated is the sum of the value of the pieces cut minus the sum of handling costs of the cuts. Provide a dynamic programming approach to solve this problem given an initial rod of length n with potential cut lengths of 1, 2, 5, and 7 [Adapted from ITA, pg. 370, 15.1-3] length of cut (i) 1 2 5 7 value (pi) 5 7 30 45 handling cost (ci) 4.5 6 10.5 13.5
Clyde Clerk is reviewing his firm’s expense reimbursement policies with the new salesperson, Trav Farr. “Our reimbursement policies depend on the situation. You see, first we determine if it is a local trip. If it is, we only pay mileage of 45 cents a mile. If the trip was a one-day trip, we pay mileage and then check the times of departure and return. To be reimbursed for breakfast, you must leave by 7:00 A.M., lunch by 11:00 A.M., and have dinner by 5:00 P.M. To receive reimbursement for breakfast, you must return later than 10:00 A.M., lunch later than 2:00 P.M., and have dinner by 7:00 P.M. On a trip lasting more than one day, we allow hotel, taxi, and airfare, as well as meal allowances. The same times apply for meal expenses.” Draw a decision tree depicting the reimbursement policy in this Problem using LucidChart or Word document
