Question
Nyame Bekyere Wholesale Supply and Distribution Company sells parts, equipment, and supplies for recreational activities like plastic slides, bouncy castles, swings and electronic trains. In addition, NBWSDC has a service department for the repair and service of the recreational items. The owner, Mr. Osei Nyame Bekyere, bought the company five years ago from its original owner. The organization is set up in three divisions: service, retail parts and supplies, and wholesale. The owner and president, has a vice president for each operating division, for example the warehouse has three groups: receiving (checking orders for completeness, returning defective merchandise, stocking the shelves, filling orders), service parts, and order filling for distribution to customers. The warehouse group is responsible for all activities related to parts and supplies receiving, storage, and distribution. The retail sales division includes all functions related to selling of parts and…
question 7
You manage an ice cream factory that makes two flavors: Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha. Into each quart of Creamy Vanilla go 2 eggs and 3 cups of cream. Into each quart of Continental Mocha go 1 egg and 3 cups of cream. You have in stock 450 eggs and 750 cups of cream. You make a profit of $3 on each quart of Creamy Vanilla and $2 on each quart of Continental Mocha. How many quarts of each flavor should you make to earn the largest profit? HINT [See Example 2.] (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

Question 1 B A company produces 2 (two) different grades of gasoline – regular and premium from 3(three) components (1,2,3). The company wants to determine the optimal mix of the three components in each grade of the gasoline that will maximize profit. The maximum quantities available for each component and their cost per gallon are as follows:Component Cost per gallon maximum gallons available per day 1 2.50 5,000 2 2.60 10,000 3 2.84 10,000 In order to ensure the appropriate blend, each grade has certain specifications as follows: Grade Component Specs Selling Price per gallon Regular At most 30% component 1 At least 40% component 2 At most 20% component 3 2.90 Premium At least 25% component 1 At most 45% component 2 At Least 30% component 3 3.00 The company wants to produce at least 10,000 gallons of each grade of gasoline. Formulate a LP model including the ratio constraints, production constraints and the objective function for this question.

- Question 2 A particular road is used by N drivers each day. Each driver obtains a benefit v from the journey and incurs a cost c(N ) that increases with the number of drivers on the road due to congestion. Suppose that the cost incurred is given by c(N) = a+bN, for some positive numbers a, b. If the agent decides not to use the road, they receive 0. You may assume throughout that the number of drivers N can be any real number (rather than an integer). Each driver uses the road at most once. the number of drivers that join the road is Ne = (v−a)/b (iv) Suppose that the government charges a toll t (a congestion charge) for each journey. Find the optimum toll. Interpret your answer in terms of the externality that each driver imposes on others.arrow_forwardQuestion 8.20arrow_forwardQuestion Suppose there are only two goods: Beer and Milk. Tom’s preference over bundles of beer and milk is as follows: For any two bundles A = (bA, mA) and B = (bB, mB) (where b and m denotes the amount of beer and milk, respectively), A ≿ B (i.e., “A is at least as good as B”) if and only if: Either bA > bB; Or bA = bB and mA ≥ mB. In other words, Tom cares, first and foremost, about the amount of beer, but if the two bundles contain the same amount of beer, then he prefers having more milk to less. • Is Tom’s preference complete? If yes, show why; if no, give an example of two bundles which Tom cannot compare. • Is Tom’s preference monotone? Strongly monotone? • Does Tom’s preference comply with the property of diminishing marginal rate of substitution?arrow_forward
- dent question I am having trouble formulating the objective function and constraints. Jeremy Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder rods is $1800 and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder rods is $3200. Manufacturing costs are $16 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $20 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. The production capacities are 5800 and 7200 for 6 and 4 cylinder rods respectively. The operating budget is $100,000. The selling prices are $55 per 4-cylinder rod and $70 per 6-cylinder rod. What is the optimal number of 4 and 6 cylinder rods that should be produced by the company? Identify the type of integer programming framework (Total Integer, Mixed Integer or Binary) that applies to this problem, develop the appropriate formulation (decision variables, objective function and constraints)arrow_forwardQuestion atatchedarrow_forwardQuestion 2CWD Manufacturing makes three components for sale to refrigeration companies.
