Problem 10
Question 1
The CEO of Asempa farms limited is considering whether to plant this year’s yam with a fertilizer or go organic (i.e. without fertilizer). In case of using a fertilizer, 10kg of either the Platinum or Standard type fertilizer would be needed at the start of the planting year. The Platinum type is GH¢1000 per kilogram and could lead to a high yield of 30 tons or a moderate yield of 20 tons of yam at the end of the year. The Standard type is GH¢800 per kilogram and could also lead to a high yield of 15 tons or a moderate yield of 10 tons of yam at the end of the year. The Standard has fewer chemicals and would lead to tastier yam that sells for a higher price than that of Platinum. There is a probability of 0.7 that high yield would be recorded at the end of the year.Market price for yam is uncertain and depends on the type as well as the volume of yam on the market. Generally, a year of high yield results in higher volume whiles a year of moderate yield leads to moderate…
A manufacturing company has been experimenting with a new additive that is used to reduce polluting effluents from its production facility. Test results suggest that if no additive is used, pollution levels are 3000 parts per million (ppm). For each pound of additive used per week, pollution levels are reduced by 0.49 ppm. The additive costs $30 per pound.
The reason for experimenting with the additive is that a government agency is conducting weekly air quality tests in the vicinity of the production facility. Regulations state that if pollution levels exceed 2000 ppm, a fine is imposed. The fine is $1000 for each ppm by which the pollution level exceeds the 2000 ppm limit. If the company has budgeted $80,000 per week to spend on the additive and any pollution fines, how much additive should be purchased each week for use by the company? What is the resulting amount that the company is willing to pay in terms of weekly fines?
