Transcribed Image Text:QUESTION 6
The Sanders Garden Shop mixes two types of grass seed into a blend. Each type of grass has been
rated (per pound) according to its shade tolerance, ability to stand up to traffic, and drought
resistance, as shown in the table. Type A seed costs $2 and Type B seed costs $3. The blend needs to
score at least 250 points for shade tolerance, 350 points for traffic resistance, and 700 points for
drought resistance. Formulate linear programming model for this problem (DO NOT SOLVE for optimal
solution).

QUESTION 7
Muir Manufacturing produces two popular grades of commercial carpeting among its many other
products. In the coming production period, Muir needs to decide how many rolls of each grade should
be produced in order to maximize profit. Each roll of Grade X carpet uses 40 units of synthetic fiber,
requires 15 hours of production time, and needs 10 units of foam backing. Each roll of Grade Y carpet
uses 30 units of synthetic fiber, requires 18 hours of production time, and needs 5 units of foam
backing. The profit per roll of Grade X carpet is $150 and the profit per roll of Grade Y carpet is $110.
In the coming production period, Muir has 2900 units of synthetic fiber available for use. Workers
have been scheduled to provide at least 1700 hours of production time (overtime is a possibility). The
company has 1400 units of foam backing available for use.
Develop a linear programming model for this problem (DO NOT SLOVE for the optimal solution).

Currently, Taylor has one level of subscription service, the standard service. For $100 a month, the standard service provides its customers a monthly delivery of 10 clothing items carefully chosen to match the child's size, gender, and emerging style. The online clothing subscription market is fairly new but is growing rapidly and thus Taylor is considering extending the product line to increase its market share and profits. Taylor is debating whether to add a premium subscription service featuring profitable high-markup items for $125 per month, a basic subscription service that contains lower-markup popular items priced at $75 per month, or possibly both. Taylor knows that the new product lines provide an opportunity to attract more customers and possibly increase revenues and profit,…arrow_forward
