Question

Deluxe River Cruises operates a fleet of river vessels. The fleet has two types of vessels: a type A, x, vessel has 60 deluxe cabins and 160 standard cabins, whereas a type B vessel, y, has 80 deluxe cabins and 120 standard cabins. Under a charter agreement with the Odyssey Travel Agency, Deluxe River Cruises is to provide Odyssey with a minimum of 360 deluxe and 680 standard cabins for their 15-day cruise in May. It costs $42,000 to operate a type A vessel and $54,000 to operate a type B vessel for that period.

(a) How many of each type of vessel should be used to keep the operating costs C to a minimum?
The minimum is C =  at 
(x, y) = 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
.
(b) Suppose C = cx + 54,000y. Find the range of values that the cost of operating a type A vessel, the coefficient c of x, can assume without changing the optimal solution.
 ≤ c ≤ 


(c) Find the range of values that Requirement 1 for deluxe cabins can assume. (Requirement 1 pertains to the deluxe cabin requirement.)
