Non-linear programming (NLP):
Non-linear programming (NLP) is used in complex optimization problems where the objectives or constraints or sometimes both are non-linear functions of the decision variables. A model can be termed as non-linear for more than one reason.

As a toy builder you enjoy making toys for both fun and profit. For your latest production batch, you need to decide how many of each toy to make. The four types of toys you make are airplanes, helicopters, bus, and cars.
To build an airplane you need 3 blue blocks, 2 green rods, and 1 red wheel. To build a helicopter you need 2 blue blocks, 4 green rods, and 1 red wheel. To build a bus you need 1 blue blocks, 3 green rods, and 4 red wheel. To build a car you need 1 blue block, 2 green rods, and 4 red wheels.
Your profit margins for each toy are as follows: Airplane P7, Helicopter P8, Bus P6, Car P5.
The parts available to you are as follows: 30 blue blocks, 44 green rods, and 50 red wheels. It is ok to have leftover parts.
Question: What is the maximum profit you can achieve?
For the marketing example in this chapter, if the budget is increased by $20,000, how much will audience exposures be increased?If Biggs Department Store wanted the same total number of people exposed to each of the three types of advertisements, how should the linear programming model be reformulated? What would be the new solution for this reformulated model?

- You want to take out a 450,000 loan on a 20-year mortgage with end-of-month payments. The annual rate of interest is 3%. Twenty years from now, you will need to make a 50,000 ending balloon payment. Because you expect your income to increase, you want to structure the loan so at the beginning of each year, your monthly payments increase by 2%. a. Determine the amount of each years monthly payment. You should use a lookup table to look up each years monthly payment and to look up the year based on the month (e.g., month 13 is year 2, etc.). b. Suppose payment each month is to be the same, and there is no balloon payment. Show that the monthly payment you can calculate from your spreadsheet matches the value given by the Excel PMT function PMT(0.03/12,240, 450000,0,0).arrow_forwardIs my solution correct and did I fully answer the questions? (see attachment for my solution) Question: There are three factories on Momiss River. Each emits two types of pollutants, labeled P1 and P2, into the river. If the waste from each factory is processed, the pollution in the river can be reduced. It costs $1,500 to process a ton of factory 1 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.10 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.45 ton. It costs $2,500 to process a ton of factory 2 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.20 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.25 ton. It costs $3,000 to process a ton of factory 3 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.40 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.50 ton. The state wants to reduce the amount of P1 in the river by at least 125 tons and the amount of P2 by at least 175 tons. a.

- (Please use the format of the speadsheet in the image) A rancher is mixing two types of foods, Brand X and Brand Y, for his cattle. Each serving for cattle is required to have 360 grams of protein and 360 grams of fat. Brand X has 5 grams of protein and 10 grams of fat. Brand Y has 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat. Rancher has found that Brand X costs $3.5 and brand Y costs $5 per unit. Find out how much of each type should be used by the rancher to minimize cost. Keep in mind that the rancher has to buy at least one unit of each brand. Moreover, the number of brand X has to be twice the number of brand Y.

The higher the ratings, the higher the price the network can charge for advertising and the higher the profits of the network. To keep things simple, we will focus on two networks, CBS and NBC, and two of the prime time spots, 8-9PM and 9-10PM. Each network needs to decide which time slot to place its hit show, 8-9PM or 9-10PM. The other time slot will be filled by a run of the mill show. The following payoff matrix shows the total number of viewers (in millions) if each network places its hit show in each of the time slots: CBS 8-9PM time slot 9-10PM time slot NBC 8-9PM time slot 100, 110 85, 120 9-10PM time slot 120, 40 70, 90 If you are the program manager for CBS, what time slot would you place your hit TV show (assuming that your goal is to maximize the number of viewers)?
