Truckco manufactures two types of trucks: 1 and 2. Each truck must go through the painting shop and assembly shop. If the painting shop were completely devoted to painting Type 1 trucks, then 800 per day could be painted; if the painting shop were completely devoted to painting Type 2 trucks, then 700 per day could be painted. If the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 1 engines, then 1,500 per day could be assembled; if the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 2 engines, then 1,200 per day could be assembled. Each Type 1 truck contributes $300 to profit; each Type 2 truck contributes $500. How much capacity in percent does a single truck of each type uses at each shop?

A company manufactures two types of trucks. Each truck must go through the painting shop and the assembly shop. If the painting shop were completely devoted to painting type 1 trucks, 800 per day could be painted, whereas if the painting shop were completely devoted to painting type 2 trucks, 700 per day could be painted. If the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 1 engines, 1500 per day could be assembled, whereas if the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 2 engines, 1200 per day could be assembled. It is possible, however, to paint both types of trucks in the painting shop. Similarly, it is possible to assemble both types in the assembly shop. Each type 1 truck contributes $1000 to profit; each type 2 truck contributes $1500. Use Solver to maximize the company’s profit
A large apple farm distributes their apples in boxes that they can source from any one of a number of nearby box manufacturers. Each box manufacturer makes only one box type that holds a specific number of apples - so a box from one manufacturer might hold 24 apples, while a box from another might hold 13. The apple farm can only choose one box supplier each year (a decision they make each year based on price), but they can then order an unlimited number of boxes of that type. The farm likes to be prepared, and creates large batches of apples to pack before the decision about which box type to use has been made. The farm also likes to limit waste, and tries to set the number of apples in these large batches such that they can fill an integer number of boxes perfectly with no apples left over. In creating these batches, although the farm doesn't yet know the exact capacity of the boxes they will buy, they know a list of possible values the box capacity will take. For example, if the…
An assembly line with 30 activities is to be balanced. The total amount of time to complete all 30 activities is 60 minutes. The longest activity takes 2.4 minutes and the shortest takes .3 minutes. The line will operate for 480 minutes per day. What are the maximum and minimum cycle times? (using the cycle time formula) How much daily output will be achieved by each of those cycle times?

A farmer in Georgia has a 100-acre farm on which to plant watermelons and cantaloupes. Every acre planted with watermelons requires 50 gallons of water per day and must be prepared for planting with 20 pounds of fertilizer. Every acre planted with cantaloupes requires 75 gallons of water per day and must be prepared for planting with 15 pounds of fertilizer. The farmer estimates that it will take 2 hours of labor to harvest each acre planted with watermelons and 2.5 hours to harvest each acre planted with cantaloupes. He believes that watermelons will sell for about $3 each, and cantaloupes will sell for about $1 each. Every acre planted with watermelons is expected to yield 90 salable units. Every acre planted with cantaloupes is expected to yield 300 salable units. The farmer can pump about 6,000 gallons of water per day for irrigation purposes from a shallow well. He can buy as much fertilizer as he needs at a cost of $10 per 50-pound bag. Finally, the farmer can hire laborers to…
Question 34 Frontline Agricultural Processing Systems uses several ingredients to make wheat crackers. After several years of operations and testing, their scientists found high protein and carbohydrates in two of their ingredients, barley and corn. While an ounce of barley costs $0.25, an ounce of corn costs $0.46. While an ounce of barley provides 9 mg of protein and 1 mg of carbohydrates, an ounce of corn provides 7 mg of protein and 5 mg of carbohydrates. Recently, demand for wheat crackers has increased. To lower the overall cost of producing wheat crackers, Frontline Agricultural Processing Systems will want to know how many ounces of barley and corn to include in each box of wheat crackers to meet the minimum requirements of 160 milligrams of protein and 40 milligrams of carbohydrates. If the carbohydrate requirement is reduced by 2 milligrams, how much reduction would the optimal cost change by? Round to 2 decimal places.
In the manufacturing of a chemical adhesive, 3% of all batches have raw materials from two different lots. This occurs when holding tanks are replenished and the remaining portion of a lot is insufficient to fill the tanks. Only 5% of batches with material from a single lot require reprocessing. However, the viscosity of batches consisting of two or more lots of material is more difficult to control, and 40% of such batches require additional processing to achieve the required viscosity. Let A denote the event that a batch is formed from two different lots, and let B denote the event that a lot requires additional processing. Determine the following probabilities:a. P(A) b. P(A’) c. P(B|A) d. P(B|A’) e. P(A∩B) f. P(A∩B’) g. P(B)

Katanga Stars is a team of women who perform cultural dance at various functions across the country. The team has a fixed membership of 9 members. Within these 9 members, there is a management committee of 4 members. For each function where they are hired to perform, the amount collected is different and is distributed as follows;• 50% of the fees goes to the consolidated account where each member owns equal shares.• The remaining 50% is shared among the 9 members such that each of the 4 management committee members gets 6.25% and each of the other members not on management committee gets 5%.For example, suppose Katanga Stars is paid UGX 1,000,000/= for a performance at a certain wedding ceremony, then, UGX 500,000/= goes to the consolidated account. Each management committee member gets UGX 62,5000/= while each of the other members gets UGX 50,000/=By assuming that Katanga Stars performs in exactly 5 places in a year, write a C program that performs the following tasks;• Uses a loop…
