Juan Hernandez, a Cuban athlete who visits the Unite States and Europe frequently, is allowed to return with a limited number of consumer items not generally available in Cuba. The items, which are carried in a duffle bag, cannot exceed a weight of 5 pounds. Once Juan is in Cuba, he sells the items at highly inflated prices. The three most popular items in Cuba are denim jeans, CD players, and CDs of U.S. rock groups. The weight and profit (in U.S. dollars) of each items are as follows.
Items Weight (lb) Profit ($)1. Denim jeans 2 902. CD players 3 1503. Compact discs 2 30
Juan wants to determine the combination of items he should pack in his duffel bag that will maximize his profit. The problem is an example of a type of integer programming known as a "knapsack" problem. Formulate and solve this problem.
The accountant of an agricultural company is asked to make a report about the commodities, and according to the data, the demand equation for a certain commodity is x^2 + p^2=100, where p dollars is the price of one unit when 100x units of the commodity are demanded. The accountant needs to find the average total revenue when the number of units demanded takes on all values from 600 to 800.

- A production manager is trying to determine how many units of two types of products to produce each day. One of these is the Standard model, while the other is the Luxurious model. The profit per unit on the Standard model is R600, while the profit per unit on the Luxurious model is R400. The Standard model requires 20 minutes of assembly time, while the Luxurious model requires 35 minutes of assembly time. The Standard model requires 10 minutes of inspection time, while the Luxurious model requires 0.25 hour of inspection time. To meet a specific order, at least 6 Luxurious models must be produced. There are 450 minutes of assembly time and 3 hours of inspection time available each day. Make use of Linear programming graphical method to determine how many units of each product that should be manufactured to maximize profits?arrow_forwardHowie’s Bakery is one of the most popular bakeries in town,and the favorite at Howie’s is French bread.Each day of the week,Howie’s bakes a number of loaves of French bread,more or less according to a daily schedule. To maintain its fine reputation, Howie’s gives to charity any loaves not sold on the day they are baked. Although this occurs frequently,it is also common for Howie’s to run out of French bread on any given day—more demand than supply.In this case,no extra loaves are baked that day;the customers have to go elsewhere (or come back to Howie’s the next day) for their French bread. Although French bread at Howie’s is always popular,Howie’s stimulates demand by running occasional 10% off sales. Howie’s has collected data for 20 consecutive weeks, 140 days in all. These data are listed in the file Howies Bakery.xlsx. The variables are Day (Monday–Sunday), Supply (number of loaves baked that day), OnSale (whether French bread is on sale that day), and Demand (loaves actually sold…arrow_forwardAs a meat producer, you typically make hamburger from beef and pork. Ground beef has 80% meat and 20% fat, while ground pork has 65% meet and 35% fat. The costs are $2.75 per kg and $1.75 per kg respectively. If one want to minimize the cost , how much of each kind of meat should be used to make 1 kilogram of hamburger, if the fat content cannot exceed 25%.arrow_forward
- Gridtown USA, besides having excellent donut shops, is known for its precisely laid out grid of streets and avenues. Streets run east-west, and avenues north-south, for the entire stretch of the town, never curving and never interrupted by parks or schools or the like. Suppose you live on the corner of 3rd and 3rd and work on the corner of 12th and 12th. Thus you must travel 18 blocks to get to work as quickly as possible. How many different routes can you take to work, assuming you want to get there as quickly as possible? Explain. Now suppose you want to stop and get a donut on the way to work, from your favorite donut shop on the corner of 10th ave and 8th st. How many routes to work, stopping at the donut shop, can you take (again, ensuring the shortest possible route)? Explain.

- A low resting heart rate can mean a high degree of physical fitness, which is associated with reducedrates of cardiac events like heart attacks. By working out regularly in the gym, the heart becomes moreefficient, pumping the lowest amount of blood one needs when in a relaxed state. Normal resting heartrate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute but a well-trained athlete can have a normal restingheart rate as low as 40 beats per minute. Dr. Castillejo wants to know if her gym members have attainedthis average resting heart rate of athletes. Use the R commander output below to address Dr. Castillejo’sconcern . Write a brief report about the analysis by identifying the set of hypotheses to be tested, theappropriate test to use, and implications and recommendations of/from the conclusions.arrow_forwardErgoPillow is an online shop selling two different models of ergonomic pillow which helps to relief sore necks.
