The shaper is available for 125 hours, and the grinder is available for 95 hours. No more than 170 units of component 3 can be sold, but up to 1050 units of each of the other components can be sold. In fact, the company already has orders for 625 units of component 1 that must be satisfied. The profit contributions for components 1, 2, and 3 are $8, $6, and $9, respectively.
If more time could be made available on the grinder, how much would it be worth? If required, round your answers to two decimal places.$ _____ per minute, since the dual value is _____ on the grinder at the optimal solution.
XYZ Corporation operates two plants, each of which has a capacity of 140 units per day. Each day, XYZ must ship their product to each of four customers. Customers A, B, and C each have a demand of 11 units per day while customer D has a demand of 247 units per day. The cost of shipping one unit of each product from each of the two plants to each of the customers is shown in the table below.

- A small metal-parts shop contains three machines—a drillpress, a lathe, and a grinder—and has three operators, eachcertified to work on all three machines. However, each op-erator performs better on some machines than on others.The shop has contracted to do a big job that requires allthree machines. The times required by the various opera-tors to perform the required operations on each machineare summarized as follows:The shop manager wants to assign one operator to eachmachine so that the total operating time for all three opera-tors is minimized. Formulate and solve a linear program-ming model for this problem.arrow_forwardA coffee machine is used to produce two interchangeable products. The daily capacity of the coffee machine can produce at most 20 cups of iced coffee and 10 cups of hot coffee. Alternatively, the coffee machine can be adjusted to produce at most 12 cups of iced coffee and 25 cups of hot coffee daily. Market analysis shows that the maximum daily demand for the two coffees combined is 35 units. Given that the unit profits for the two respective coffees are ₱10 and ₱12, which of the following two machine settings should be selected? Requirements:a) Define decision variables and tabulated datab) Formulate the Integer Linear Programming Model.arrow_forwardA coffee machine is used to produce two interchangeable products.

- The Tiny Toy Company makes three types of new toys: the tiny tank, the tiny truck, and the tiny turtle. Plastic used in one unit of each is 1.5, 2.0 and 1.0 pounds, respectively. Rubber for one unit of each toy is 0.5, 0.5, and 1.0 pounds, respectively. Also, each tank uses 0.3 pounds of metal, and the truck uses 0.6 pounds of metal during production. The average weekly availability for plastic is 16,000 pounds, 9,000 pounds of metal, and 5,000 pounds of rubber. It takes two hours of labor to make one tank, two hours for one truck, and one hour for a turtle. The company allows no more than 40 hours a week for production (priority #1). Finally, the cost of manufacturing one tank is $7, 1 truck is $5 and 1 turtle is $4; a target budget of $164,000 is initially used as a guideline for the company to follow. a) Minimize over-utilization of the weekly available supply of materials used in making the toys and place twice as much emphasis on the plastic (priority #2) b) Minimize the…arrow_forwardSidneyville manufactures household and commercial furnishings. The Office Division produces two desks, rolltop and regular. Sidneyville constructs the desks in its plant outside Medford, Oregon, from a selection of woods. The woods are cut to a uniform thickness of 1 inch. For this reason, one measures the wood in units of square feet. One rolltop desk requires 10 square feet of pine, 4 square feet of cedar, and 15 square feet of maple. One regular desk requires 20 square feet of pine, 16 square feet of cedar, and 10 square feet of maple. The desks yield respectively $115 and $90 profit per sale. At the current time the firm has available 200 square feet of pine, 128 square feet of cedar, and 220 square feet of maple. The firm has backlogged orders for both desks and would like to produce the number of rolltop and regular desks that would maximize profit. How many of each should it produce?arrow_forwardA plant has sufficient capacity to manufacture any combination of four different products (A, B, C, D).For each product, time is required to be invested in four different machines, which is expressed in hours per kilogram of product, as shown in the following table as shown in the following table: (image) Each machine has an availability of 60 hours per week. Products A, B, C and D can be sold at $9, $7, $6 and $5per kilo, respectively. Variable labor costs are $2 per hour for machines 1 and 2, and $3 per hour for machines 3 and 4. The material costs for each kilogram of product A are $4. The material costs for each kilogram of products B, C, D and D are $4 each kilogram of products B, C and D are $1.
