Ahmad is an agriculture entrepreneur. He has farms producing vegetables located in three places: Kangar, Padang Besar and Arau. The vegetables are to be sent to markets at different locations: Alor Setar, Kodiang, and Jitra. The farms at Kangar, Padang Besar and Arau produce 400, 300, and 300 tonnes of vegetables respectively each week. Markets in Alor Setar, Kodiang, and Jitra require 200, 450, and 350 tonnes of vegetables respectively. The shipping costs vary as given below. Ahmad would like to find the minimum cost to meet the demands of the markets. B) Find the optimal solution using stepping stone method

An editorial in the New York Times on Sunday June 4, 2011 dicussed the redesigned fuel economy stickers to be required on new cars starting in 2013. Consider a new idsize fuord fusion s model. At $4-a-gallon gas, annual fuel costs would be about $2,200 for 15,000 miles driven... And thats for a car with a rated mileage of 34.9m.p.g. actual highway mileage, as with all vehicles, is lower, in this case about 27m.p.g. Industry clearly needs to do better. Did the times use the rated or the actual mileage in its computation?
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010 was "an environmental disaster of unprecedented proportions" and was a "devastating blow to the resource-dependent economy of the region" [1]. According to the Washington Post, it is estimated that 9857 9857 cubic meters of oil per day spilled into the Gulf of Mexico on August 2, 2010 Assume that an average of 9857 m^3/day of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico everyday and that it formed a hemispherical dome of radius r on the ocean floor. D) find the rate of change of the radius with respect to time when the volume of the oil spill is 50,000m^3. E) Since only the oil that is in contact with seawater can mix with seawater, it is important to know how much of the surface area of the oil spill is in contact with seawater. Find the rate of change of the hemisphere's surface area with respect to time when the volume of the oil spill is 50,000 m3. Include units in your answer. You should assume that only the top…

Brawdy Plastics, Inc., produces plastic seat belt retainers for General Motors at their plantin Buffalo, New York. After final assembly and painting, the parts are placed on a conveyorbelt that moves the parts past a final inspection station. How fast the parts move past thefinal inspection station depends upon the line speed of the conveyor belt (feet per minute).Although faster line speeds are desirable, management is concerned that increasing the linespeed too much may not provide enough time for inspectors to identify which parts are actually defective. To test this theory, Brawdy Plastics conducted an experiment in which the samebatch of parts, with a known number of defective parts, was inspected using a variety of linespeeds. The following data were collected. Line speed Number of defective parts found20 2320 2130…
Macros Chemical Company is trying produce a test batch of a new organic fertilizer made from a proprietary type of green algae. The fertilizer is an experimental mixture of 4 ingedients: salt, water, soil, and algae (all measured in liters). In order to remain stable, the ratio of salt to water must be 5 to 8. In addition, the number of liters of salt and soil combined must always be the same as the number of liters of algae and water combined. How many liters of each compound should be included to create 110 liters of the fertilizer? Set up a system of equations, and then solve using your calculator. Use the variables in order in your equations as x, y, z, w as shown below in part a. MAKE SURE IT IS MATRIX FORM!a) Solve the system; write the solutions here, using tt as the parameter as needed. Solution:x= liters of salt ;y= liters of water ;z= liters of soil ; andw= liters of algae.b) If 14.9 liters of algae are to be used for a batch, how much of each compund will be…
A manufacturing company has been experimenting with a new additive that is used to reduce polluting effluents from its production facility. Test results suggest that if no additive is used, pollution levels are 3000 parts per million (ppm). For each pound of additive used per week, pollution levels are reduced by 0.49 ppm. The additive costs $30 per pound. The reason for experimenting with the additive is that a government agency is conducting weekly air quality tests in the vicinity of the production facility. Regulations state that if pollution levels exceed 2000 ppm, a fine is imposed. The fine is $1000 for each ppm by which the pollution level exceeds the 2000 ppm limit. If the company has budgeted $80,000 per week to spend on the additive and any pollution fines, how much additive should be purchased each week for use by the company? What is the resulting amount that the company is willing to pay in terms of weekly fines?
Charles and his younger brother, Edward, purchased Carpita Bottling Company from their father in 1983. The company bottles and distributes soda and beer in Nakuru. Since purchasing the company, Charles has been instrumental in modernizing operations. One of the latest acquisitions is a filling machine that can be adjusted to fill at any average level desired. Because the bottles and cans filled by the company are exclusively the 12-grams size, when they received the machine, Charles set the fill level to 12 grams and left it that way. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, the machine will fill bottles or cans around the average, with a standard deviation of 0.15 grams. Charles just returned from a convention at which he attended a panel discussion related to problems with filling machines. One bottling company representative discussed a problem her company had. It failed to learn that its machine’s average fill went out of adjustment until several months later, when its cost…
A company wants to plan production for the ensuing year so as to minimize thecombined cost of production and inventory storage. In each quarter of the year, demand isanticipated to be 65, 80, 135 and 75 respectively. The product can be manufactured duringregular time at a cost of Php 16 per unit produced, or during overtime at a cost of Php 20 perunit. The given table below shows data pertinent to production capacities. The cost of carryingone unit in inventory per quarter is Php 2. The inventory level at the beginning of the firstquarter is zero.

Suppose that a healthy population of some species is growing in a limited environment and that the current population P0 is fairly close to the carrying capacity M0. You might imagine a population of fish living in a freshwater lake in a wilderness area. Suddenly a catastrophe such as the Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption contaminates the lake and destroys a significant part of the food and oxygen on which the fish depend. The result is a new environment with a carrying capacity M1 considerably less than M0 and, in fact, less than the current population P0. Starting at some time before the catastrophe, sketch a “before-and-after” curve that shows how the fish population responds to the change in environment.
