L.P. Model: Maximize Z= 8X+2Y Subject to: 1X+2Y≤6 (C1) 5X+1Y≤20 (C2) X,Y≥0 On the graph on right, the constraints C1 and C2 have been plotted. Using the point drawing tool, plot the four corner points for the feasible area. The optimum solution is: X = (round your response to two decimal places). Y = (round your response to two decimal places). Optimal solution value Z = (round your response to two decimal places).

Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are contestants on a game show called Split or Steal. On the show, Bugs and Daffy have to pick one of two cards and decide to split the prize money of $100,000 or steal it from the other contestant. The decisions are made simultaneously so neither player knows what the other will do. The table below represents the result of the contestants’ choices.

Seneca Hill Winery recently purchased land for the purpose of establishing a new vineyard.Management is considering two varieties of white grapes for the new vineyard: Chardonnayand Riesling. The Chardonnay grapes would be used to produce a dry Chardonnay wine,and the Riesling grapes would be used to produce a semidry Riesling wine. It takes approximatelyfour years from the time of planting before new grapes can be harvested. Thislength of time creates a great deal of uncertainty concerning future demand and makes thedecision about the type of grapes to plant difficult. Three possibilities are being considered:Chardonnay grapes only; Riesling grapes only; and both Chardonnay and Riesling grapes.Seneca management decided that for planning purposes it would be adequate to consideronly two demand possibilities for each type of wine: strong or weak. With two possibilitiesfor each type of wine, it was necessary to assess four probabilities. With the help of someforecasts in industry…
(Linear Objective Function and Optimization Application) On a special occasion, renowned electronic giant retailer Best Buy sold a variety of TVs at a discounted prices or on huge sales. Task-1: Write down an appropriate equation for the net profit function, P in order to account for the net profit made by Best Buy after selling: (i) x-number of televisions (TVs) that made $250 profit on the sale of each SONY TVs (ii) y-number of televisions that made $10,500 profit on the sale of each PHILIP TVs respectively, in that event. Task-2: Profit margin, P as discussed in Task-1 was subject to the following constraints applied to the products. a. Maximum cost price was $5000 to manufacture each piece of SONY TVs and $10,000 to manufacture each piece of PHILIP TVs respectively. All TVs were manufactured at a maximum cost of $10 x106 as given in Plot No 1: Plot No. 1: ($5000 x + $ 10000y) ≤ $10 million; Graph the Plot No. 1 up to the scale in a paper. b. 10 and 150 employees worked to…

Background: Russell Jones, director of a recreational equipment retail outlet, Mountain Recreational Equipment (MRE), announces that the corporate office wants each local retail store location to develop a persuasive proposal highlighting their ideas for community service projects for the following year. Every year the employees at MRE devote substantial time raising money and partnering with local charities. In the past, the employees at each store have decided what charitable organizations/activities they want to support independently of the corporate office, so the request for proposals and approval is a notable change to the initiative. Jones explains to his team that the MRE Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Jennifer Munoz, feels that the company is straying too far from the corporate image in what employees are choosing to support. For example, locations are selecting fundraising and partnership projects that vary dramatically in scope and purpose. The CEO has decided this new…
eBook Problem 8-21 (Algorithmic) Round Tree Manor is a hotel that provides two types of rooms with three rental classes: Super Saver, Deluxe, and Business. The profit per night for each type of room and rental class is as follows: Room Type 1 Type II Rental Class Super Saver $37 $18 Explain. Deluxe $40 $33 Variable SuperSaver rentals allocated to room type I SuperSaver rentals allocated to room type II Deluxe rentals allocated to room type I Deluxe rentals allocated to room type II Business rentals allocated to room type II Is the demand by any rental class not satisfied? Business Type 1 rooms do not have wireless Internet access and are not available for the Business rental class. Round Tree's management makes a forecast of the demand by rental class for each night in the future. A linear programming model developed to maximize profit is used to determine how many reservations to accept for each rental class. The demand forecast for a particular night is 125 rentals in the Super Saver…
