Question
MBI produces two types of computers: Sonwat & Tranfor. There are three critical resources: hard drives, assembly labor and quality assurance labor. Next quarter MBI hopes to have 20,000 hard drives, 32,000 hours of labor in assembly and 88,000 hours of labor in QA. Each Sonwat contributes $900 to profits, and needs 2 hard drives while using 4 hours of assembly and 2 hours of QA, while each Tranfor contributes $600 to profits, and needs 1 hard drive while using 1 hour of assembly and 7 hours of QA.
1. Formulate a linear programming model with integer constraints on the number of Sonwat and Tranfor computers to maximize production for the next quarter.

The solution of this model would reveal which plants to build and the optimal shipping schedule. Let xij = the number of panels shipped from source i to destination j y₁ = 1 if plant i is built, = 0 otherwise (i = 3, 4, 5) The constraint x21 + x22+x23 <= 13,000*y3 represents which of the…arrow_forward

The farm's engineering staff has researched the market and found 2 units that appear to meet their requirements. Truck # 1 has a cost of $37,000 and requires an annual maintenance cost of $2,700. At the end of its useful life (3 years), it is projected to have a salvage value of $5,000. On the other hand, Truck #2 has an initial cost of $40,000 and requires only $2,000 in annual operating costs because the manufacturer is claiming that some routine maintenance is covered in the price of the truck. Truck # 2 has an estimated salvage value of $8,000 at the end of its 4 year service life. The CEO has determined that the farm's MARR is 12%. The trucks are needed for 12 years according to the 2024 Strategic Plan. The Engineering Department has determined that no significant changes are needed in the future that would change prices and functional characteristics of each truck.
