Question

Transcribed Image Text:Because of new federal regulations on pollution, a chemical plant introduced a new, more expensive process to supplement or replace an older process used in the production of a particular chemical. The older process emitted 40 grams
of sulfur dioxide and 120 grams of particulate matter into the atmosphere for each gallon of chemical produced. The new process emits 5 grams of sulfur dioxide and 40 grams of particulate matter for each gallon produced. The company
makes a profit of 80¢ per gallon and 20¢ per gallon on the old and new processes, respectively. Answer parts (A) through (C) below.
(A) If the government allows the plant to emit no more than 36,000 grams of sulfur dioxide and 90,000 grams of particulate matter daily, how many gallons of the chemical should be produced by each process to maximize daily profit? Wha
is the maximum daily profit? Summarize the model,
Maximize
Objective function
subject to
V 36,000
Sulfur dioxide constraint
V 90,000
Particulate constraint
х, у 2
Nonnegative constraint
Under the stated government regulations a maximum profit of $ is obtained by producing
of product using the old process and
of product using the new process.
(Type integers or decimals. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
(B) Discuss the effect on the production schedule and the maximum profit if the government decides to restrict emissions of sulfur dioxide to 22,400 grams daily and all other data remain unchanged. Use a similar process to obtain the
constraints for the new model.
The maximum obtainable daily profit is now $ obtained by producing
(Type integers or decimals. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
V of product using the old process and
V of product using the new process.
(C) Discuss the effect on the production schedule and the maximum profit if the government decides to restrict emissions of sulfur dioxide to 10,200 grams daily and all other data remain unchanged.
Under these regulations a maximum profit of S is obtained by producing
(Type integers or decimals. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
of product using the old process and
of product using the new process.

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.

Assuming that the worker continues to improve her performance, what will she be paid for the full batch of 300 units under the standard hour plan? What is the unit cost for the first unit made? What is the cost for 300th unit? there is already an answer for this question in chegg but it does not explain clearly in steps. I need some clear explanation thnksarrow_forward
