An air conditioner company must satisfy the demands of the customers for air conditioners on time in theupcoming months: June: 300; July: 400; August: 500. Two alternative cities exist for the production of airconditioners. They can either be produced in İzmir or Muğla. The required skilled labor hour to manufacture anair conditioner is 1.45 hours in İzmir and 2.05 hours in Muğla. However, the production costs are different, too.The production cost of an air conditioner in İzmir is $500 and $485 in Muğla. During the summer (June, July,August) 430 hours of skilled labor are accessible in both cities. Besides, an inventory cost exists: it takes $10 tocarry/hold an air conditioner in inventory for a month. The company has 215 air conditioners on hand (in stock)at the beginning of June.Formulate a Linear Programming model for the aforementioned problem such that its solutionwill explain to the company how to minimize the total cost of satisfying the demand requirements for theupcoming 3 months.

To formulate a Linear Programming (LP) model for this problem, we need to define decision variables,…

The government proposed to utilize a government-owned land with an area of 12,150 square meters. One-third of it will be used for a picnic area while the rest of the land will be planted by mango trees. As the city engineer, you were tasked to determine the following: 1. the number of mango trees that leads to a maximum yield given that if 60 trees are planted, the average yield per tree will be 400 kilos while the average yield will decrease by 4 kilos per tree for each additional tree on the same area due toovercrowding.
A diesel engine uses Type A filter and high-grade lubricating oil costing P5.50 per liter. With this filter, the oil and the filter have to be changed every 500 hours of operation, and 5 liters of coil have to be added every 100 hours. This filter costs P148 a piece. Eighty liters of coil fill the engine. Another type, filter B, costing P120 may be used with a lower grade of oil costing P4.80 per liter. However, if this filter is used, the oil and filter have to be changed every 300 hours, and 10 liters are added after each 150 hours the engine is used. Which type of filter and oil would you recommend?

Two alternative designs for a product are being considered by a certain manufacturing company. The product will function equally well with either design. The two designs will require the same material and manufacturing cost except for the lathe and drill operations. Design A will require 16 hours of lathe time and 4.5 hours of drill time per 1000 units. Design B will require 7 hours of lathe time and 12 hours of drill time per 1000 units. The variable operating cost of the lathe, including labor, is P800 per hour. The variable operating cost of the drill, including labor, is P700 per hour. The product can be sold for P40 each. (a) Which design should be adopted if P150,000 units are produced and sold each year? (b) What is the annual saving of the better design over the other one?
An air conditioner manufacturer recommends that its portable units provide between 4 and 6 BTUs of cooling per cubic foot to operate most efficiently. Which statement is true? A 16,000-BTU air conditioner meets the manufacturer recommendation for a room measuring 20 feet by 20 feet with a standard 8-foot ceiling. A 14,000-BTU air conditioner meets the manufacturer recommendation for a room measuring 10 feet by 20 feet with a standard 8-foot ceiling. A 20,000-BTU air conditioner will be too large for a room measuring 20 feet by 40 feet with an 8-foot ceiling. A 12,000-BTU air conditioner will be too small for a room that is 15 feet by 10 feet with a 10-foot ceiling.
