Chapter D, Problem 24P
Revisit Problem 22 on the Bull Grin Company. Some cost and demand parameters have changed. Producing 1,000 pounds of supplement now costs $830 on regular time and $910 on overtime. No additional cost is incurred for unused regular-time, overtime, or subcontractor capacity. Overtime is limited to production of a total of 20,000 pounds per quarter. In addition, subcontractors can be hired at $1,000 per 1,000 pounds, but only 30,000 pounds per quarter can be produced this way.
The current level of inventory is 40,000 pounds, amid management wants to end the year at that level. Holding 1,000 pounds of feed supplement in inventory per quarter costs $100. The latest annual

The Star Youth Soccer Club helps to support its 20 boys’ and girls’ teams financially, primarily through the payment of coaches. The club puts on a tournament each fall to help pay its expenses. The cost of putting on the tournament is $8,000, mainly for development, printing, and mailing of the tournament The tournament entry fee is $400 per team. For every team that enters, it costs the club about $75 to pay referees for the three-game minimum each team is guaranteed. If the club needs to clear $60,000 from the tournament, how many teams should it invite?
The ABC Company is making a production plan for the next year, given the sales forecast for the next year as: Quarter 1 2 3 4 Total Sales Forecast (units) 9,000 12,000 16,000 12,000 49,000 Currently, the firm has 12 employees, each producing up to 1,000 units per quarter and earning $2,000 per quarter. The firm estimates its inventory carrying cost to be $2 per unit of ending inventory per quarter and its hiring or layoff costs to be $1,600 per employee. The company currently has an inventory of 2,000 units and wishes to have an ending inventory of at least 1,000 units at the end of each quarter. The company does not plan to incur inventory shortages. Find the optimal production plan that minimizes the total cost by Excel solver

- Note :write the equations seperately A firm is making two products A & B. Each unit of A incurs a cost of production to the tune of $150 and that of B incurs a cost of $200. Product A carns a profit of $15/unit and B gets $20/unit. The estimated monthly demand of both A & B is at maximum 500 units. Monthly production budget is set at $50.000.How many units of A & B should the firm make in order to maximize profit. Conduct sensitivity analysis and answer the following questions: 1. State the optimal solution. 2. What is the objective function value? 3. Find out the range of profit for A in the objective function for which the above solution remains optimal.arrow_forwardA pet daycare facility offers pet sitting services where owners can drop off their pets for training and socializing with other pets. To feed the pets, the daycare makes two types of pet food. A bag of freeze-dried nuggets costs $7.99 and contains 21 units of proteins, 4 units of fiber, and 15 units of fat. A bag of dehydrated nuggets costs $11.26 and contains 28 units of proteins, 7 units of fiber, and 20 units of fat. The minimum daily requirements are usually 200 units of protein, 75 units of fiber, and 220 units of fat. Formulate the information as an LP problem and answer the following questions.

The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rod is $2,000, and the cost required to set up the production for the 6-cylinder connecting rod is $3,500. Manufacturing costs are $15 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $18 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line.Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,000 4-cylinder connecting rods.

- For a table manufacturing company, selling price for a table is $183.00 per Unit, Variable cost is $25.00 per Unit, rent is $3,380.00 per month and insurance is $296.00 per month. Company wants to expand its business and improve the table quality, it wants to increase the selling price for a table to $254.00 per Unit, Variable cost to $43.00 per Unit, bigger area will have rent $5,235.00 per month and insurance is $362.00 per month At what point will the company be indifferent between the current mode of operation and the new option?arrow_forwardPullman Tire Company would like to plan production for the next three months.The firm can satisfy demand by using inventory, regular production (at $40 per tire), overtime (at $50 per tire), or subcontracting (at $70 per tire). Any tires held over for one month incur a $2 per tire inventory carrying cost. Pullman Tire has sufficient regular production capacity to produce up to 700 tires each month, and it can produce up to 50 more tires each month using overtime. The subcon- tracting availability from an alternative supplier is 150 in January and February and 130 in March. Customers will demand 650 tires in January, 1,000 in Febru- ary, and 890 in March (all demand must be satisfied on time; i.e., no backorders are allowed). The firm begins with 100 tires and wants to have no tires left in inventory at the end of March.

Model A uses a 0.4-liter engine, Model B uses a 0.5-liter engine, and Model C uses a 0.6-liter engine. The aggregate production plan is the twelve-month plan that combines all three models together in total monthly production. The planning horizon is twelve months. The APP determines the size of the workforce, which is the constrained resource. Assume that the beginning inventory for January is 120 units (30 units each of Model A and Model B, and 60 units of Model C). The firm desires to have an ending inventory of 160 units at the end of the year. On average, one unit of ATV requires eight labor hours to produce, and a worker contributes 160 hours (8 hours × 5 days × 4 weeks) per month.
