A) United Aluminum Company of Cincinnati produces three grades (high, medium, and low) of aluminum at two mills. Each mill has a different production capacity (in tons per day) for each grade, as shown below. The company has contracted with a manufacturing firm to supply at least 12 tons of high-grade aluminum, 8 tons of medium-grade aluminum, and 5 tons of low- grade aluminum. It costs United $6,000 per day to operate mill 1 and $7,000 per day to operate mill 2. The company wants to know the number of days to operate each mill in order to meet the contract at the minimum cost. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem. Define x₁ as the number of operation days for mill 1, x2 as the number of operation days for mill 2, and Z as the total cost. Which of the following model formulations is correct? Aluminum Grade High Medium Low 2x1+2x2>=8 4x1+10x2>=5 x1, x2>=0 1 Group of answer choices Maximize Z=6000x1+7000x2 s.t. 6x1+2x2>=12 2x1+2x2<=8 4x1+10x2<=5 x1, x2>=0 6 2 4 Mill Maximize Z=6000x1+7000x2 s.t. 6x1+2x2<=12 2x1+2x2<=8 4x1+10x2<=5 x1, x2>=0 Minimize Z=6000x1+7000x2 s.t. 6x1+2x2<=12 Minimize Z=6000x1+7000x2 s.t. 6x1+2x2>=12 2x1+2x2>=8 4x1+10x2>=5 x1, x2>=0 2 2 2 10

. The Newcoat Painting Company has for some time been experiencing high demand for its automobile repainting service. Because it has had to turn away business, management is concerned that the limited space available to store cars awaiting painting has cost them in lost revenue. A small vacant lot next to the painting facility has recently been made available for rental on a long-term basis at a cost of $10 per day. Management believes that each lost customer costs $20 in profit. Current demand is estimated to be 21 cars per day with exponential interarrival times (including those turned away), and the facility can service at an exponential rate of 24 cars per day. Cars are processed on a FCFS basis. Waiting space is now limited to 9 cars but can be increased to 20 cars with the lease of the vacant lot.Newcoat wants to determine whether the vacant lot should be leased. Management also wants to know the expected daily lost profit due to turning away customers if the lot is leased. Only…

40. An import/export firm has leased 20,000 cubic feet of storage space to store six items that it imports from the Far East. The relevant data for the six items it plans to store in the warehouse are Space per Unit (feet) Annual Demand Item (units) Cost per Unit DVD 32-inch flat screen TV 1,600 Blank DVD's 800 $200.00 150.00 30.00 12 18 8,000 (box of 10) Blank CD's 12,000 18.00 2 (box of 50) Compact stereo Telephone 400 1,200 250.00 24 12.50 3 Setup costs for each product amount to $2,000 per order, and holding costs are based on a 25 percent annual interest rate. Find the optimal order quantities for these six items so that the storage space is never exceeded. (Hint: Use a cell location for the Lagrange multiplier and experiment with different values until the storage constraint is satisfied as closely as possible.)
