Baton Rouge's Mt. Cedar Hospital is a large, private, 600-bed facility complete with laboratories, operating rooms, and X-ray equipment. In seeking to increase revenues, Mt. Cedar's administration has decided to make a 90-bed addition on a portion of adjacent land currently used for staff parking. The administrators feel that the labs, operating rooms, and X-ray department are not being fully utilized at present and do not need to be expanded to handle additional patients. The addition of 90 beds, however, involves deciding how many beds should be allocated to the medical staff (for medical patients) and how many to the surgical staff (for surgical patients).
The hospital's accounting and medical records departments have provided the following pertinent information. The average hospital stay for a medical patient is 8 days, and the average medical patient generates $2,280in revenues. The average surgical patient is in the hospital 5 days and generates $1,515 in…
A&B Transport Co. is a company that manages a food supply chain. The problem involves the delivery of cargo (canned peas) from four canneries (loading ports) to three destination ports, using tankers. Since the shipping costs are a major expense for the company, management is initiating a study to reduce them as much as possible. For the upcoming season, has come up with an estimation of the available output from each cannery. Furthermore, each destination port has also specific requirements for the total supply of peas that have to be satisfied. This information (in units of tanker loads), along with the shipping cost per tanker load for each loading - destination port combination, is given in Tables 1 and 2. The problem for the A&B Transport Co. is to determine the shipping strategy given the various loading - destination port combinations, so that the total shipping costs are minimised.
Question 1 . A&B Transport Co is thinking of including in its strategy the shipment…
Formulate the Linear Programming algebraic model :
The DLSU Faculty Cooperative has P250,000 available to invest in a 12-month commitment. The money can be placed in Treasury notes yielding an 8% return or in municipal bonds at an average rate of return of 9%. Cooperatives regulations require diversification to the extent that at least 50% of the investment be placed in Treasury notes. Because of restrictions of Bureau of Internal Revenue, it is decided that no more than 40% of the investment be placed in bonds.
Determine the budget that should be allocated

Problem 5.17: American Football. The offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears professional football team is preparing a game plan for the upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers. A review of game tapes from previous Bears–Packers games provides data on the yardage gained for run plays and pass plays. Data shows that when the Bears run against the Packers’ run defense, the Bears gain an average of 2 yards. However, when the Bears run against the Packers’ pass defense, the Bears gain an average of 6 yards. A similar analysis of pass plays reveals that if the Bears pass against the Packers’ run defense, the Bears gain an average of 11 yards. However, if the Bears pass against the Packers’ pass defense, the Bears average a loss of 1 yard. This loss, or negative gain of −1, includes the lost yardage due to quarterback sacks and interceptions.

Compacts cost $18,000 each, intermediate-size cars cost $27,000 each, and full-size cars cost $36,000 each. If Hartman purchases twice as many compacts as intermediate-size cars and the total number of cars to be purchased is 100, determine how many cars of each type will be purchased. (Assume that the entire budget will be used. Let x, y, and z denote the number of compact, intermediate-sized, and full-size cars purchased, respectively.) = 2,250,000 = x = 100arrow_forward
