A manufacturer produces three products, A, B, C. The profits for each unit of A, B, and C sold are $1, $2, and $3, respectively. Fixed costs are $17,000 per year, and the costs of producing each unit of A, B, and C are $4, $5, and $7, respectively. Next year, a total of 11,000 units of all three products is to be produced and sold, and a total profit of $23,000 is to be realized. If total cost is to be $78,000, how many units of each of the products should be produced next year?

A company manufactures paring knives and pocket knives. Each paring knife requires 3 labor-hours, 7 units of steel, and 4 units of wood. Each pocket knife requires 6 labor-hours, 5 units of steel, and 3 units of wood. The profit on each paring knife is $3, and the profit on each pocket knife is $5. Each day the company has available 102 labor-hours, 157 units of steel, and 123 units of wood. Suppose that the number of labor-hours that are available each day is increased by h. For what values of h will a change of h labor-hours not change the shadow price of labor? The shadow price of labor will not change for shs. (Simplify your answers.)

A factory produces two types of product which give $60 and $70 profit respectively, and which both require three machines A, B, C for their production. The three machines are available at most 8, 5, and 8 hours per week, respectively. The first type of product requires 1 hour on each of the machines A and B, and 2 hours on the machine C. The second type of product requires 2 hours on the machine A and 1 hour on each of the machines B and C. Find the maximum.

A company wishes to produce two types of souvenirs: Type A and Type B. Each Type A souvenir will result in a profit of $1, and each Type B souvenir will result in a profit of $1.20. To manufacture a Type A souvenir requires 2 minutes on Machine I and 1 minute on Machine II. A Type B souvenir requires 1 minute on Machine I and 3 minutes on Machine II. There are 3 hours available on Machine I and 5 hours available on Machine II. (a) The optimal solution holds if the contribution to the profit of a Type B souvenir lies between $  and $  . (Enter your answers from smallest to largest.)(b) Find the contribution to the profit of a Type A souvenir (with the contribution to the profit of a Type B souvenir held at $1.20), given that the optimal profit of the company will be $208.80.$ (c) What will be the optimal profit of the company if the contribution to the profit of a Type B souvenir is $2.00 (with the contribution to the profit of a Type A souvenir held at $1.00)?$

Tim Smunt has been asked to evaluate two machines. After some investigation, he determines that they have the costs shown in the following table: He is told to assume that: 1. The life of each machine is 3 years. Machine A Machine B Original Cost Labor per year $15,000 $20,000 $2,200 $4,000 Maintenance per year Salvage value $4,600 $1,000 $2,400 $7,500 2. The company thinks it knows how to make 8% on investments no more risky than this one. 3. Labor and maintenance are paid at the end of the year. • The NPV for Machine A: The NPV for Machine B: Using the net present value as the basis of comparing the machines, Tim should recommend:

A small company manufactures three different electronic components for computers. Component A requires 2 hours of fabrication and 1 hour of assembly; component B requires 3 hours of fabrication and 1 hour of assembly; and component C requires 2 hours of fabrication and 2 hours of assembly. The company has up to 900 labor-hours of fabrication time and 700 labor-hours of assembly time available per week. The profit on each component, A, B, and C, is $7, $8, and $10, respectively. How many components of each type should the company manufacture each week in order to maximize its profit (assuming that all components manufactured can be sold)? What is the maximum profit? Let x₁, x2, and x3 be the numbers of components A, B, and C, respectively, that get manufactured. Construct a mathematical model in the form of a linear programming problem.

Question 28 A company manufactures two lines of bathtubs, called model A and model B. Every tub requires a certain amount of steel and zinc; the company has available a total of 25,000 pounds of steel and 6,000 pounds of zinc. Each model A bathtub requires a total of 125 pounds of steel and 20 pounds of zinc, and each yields a profit of $90. Each model B bathtub can be sold for a profit of $70; model B requires 100 pounds of steel and 30 pounds of zinc. Additionally, due to a space constraint the company can stock no more than 150 units of tub model A. Determine the binding constraint(s). Steel Space Steel and Zinc Zinc and Space Steel and Space to

Suppose that a small company produces two different models of kayaks. A larger model and smaller model. The larger model requires 2 hours of manufacturing, 2 hours for assembly and 3 hours for packaging. The smaller model requires 2 hours for manufacturing, 1 hour for assembly and 2 hours for packaging. Each week the company has 120 hours available for manufacturing, 80 hours available for assembly and 132 hours available for packaging. If the company makes a profit of $75 for each of the larger model manufactured and profit of $60 for each smaller model manufactured, how many of each model should the company produce in order to maximize profit ?

Q: The Morton Supply Company produces clothing, footwear, and accessories for dancing and gymnastics. They produce three models of pointe shoes used by ballerinas to balance on the tips of their toes. The shoes are produced from four materials: cardstock, satin, plain fabric, and leather. The number of square inches of each type of material used in each model of shoe, the amount of material available, and the profit/model are shown below: Material (measured in square inches) Model 1 Model 2 Model 3 Material Available Cardstock 12 10 14 1200 Satin 24 20 15 2000 Plain fabric 40 40 30 7500 Leather 11 11 10 1000 Profit per model $50 $44 $40   a)  Generate the Answer Report using SOLVER in EXCEL.  Then, clearly answer what is the optimal solution?  What is the resulting profit? b) Generate the Sensitivity Report for the model that you built. Interpret, in context, the Shadow Price for the Leather and the Satin constraints.  Include units in your interpretations.

Three competing brands of cerial are being sold in the school cafeteria. Brand z's weekly sales are affected by the sales of the other two proucts. For each $1 increase in brand æ's sales, there is a decrease $0.80 in sales of brand z. Similarly, each $1 increase in brand y's sales, there is a increase $0.10 in sales of brand z. If the current sales for brand z, y, and z are $45.00, $69.00, and $76.00 respectively, write an equation for z's sales in terms of a and y.
