Question
Solve the linear programming problem below by showing the graph of the feasible region and corner points. use DESMOS for this activity.
A contractor builds storage sheds in two high end models, the Chelan and the Orondo.
Each Chelan model requires:
2000 ft of framing lumber
6000 cubic feet of concrete
$4000 for advertising
Each Orondo model requires:
4000 ft of framing lumber
6000 cubic feet of concrete
$6000 for advertising
Contracts call for using at least 16000 ft of framing lumber, 36,000 cubic feet of concrete, and $30,000 worth of advertising. If construction cost for each Chelan shed is $40,000, and the construction cost for each Orondo shed is $30,000, how many of each model should be built to minimize construction costs?

- A manufacturer of refrigerators must ship at least 100 refrigerators to its two warehouses. Each warehouse holds a maximum of 100 refrigerators. Warehouse A holds 40 refrigerators already, while warehouse B has 15 on hand. It costs $10 to ship a refrigerator to warehouse A and $14 to ship one to warehouse B. How many refrigerators should be shipped to each warehouse to minimize cost? Find the objective function and the constraints for the above problem.arrow_forward2.

- A farmer in the magical land of Avalon is raising a unicorn to sell to a band of Jewel Riders. The market price for unicorn is $12 per pound, but is falling 10 cents per day. The rapidly growing unicorn is currently weighing 400 pounds and is expected to gain 5 pounds per day for the next two to three weeks. The costs to raise a typical unicorn are $5 per day plus $100 for a special unicorn harness and feedbag. What is the optimal time to sell the unicorn to the Jewel Riders? I need to use the Five Step Method for mathematical modeling. Ask the Question. The Question must be phrased mathematically and object must be stated in precise mathematical terms. List all variables and assumptions you are making about them. Do not confuse variables with constants in the problem. Check units for consistency. Select a modeling approach. This could be optimization in one or more variables, linear programming, or many other approaches available in the field of math. Formulate the model.

Preform a sensitivity analysis of the optimal time to sell versus the variable cost to raise a unicorn (harness still $100). 2. So if the actual variable cost was $4.00 per day instead of $5.00 (20% decrease), what would you estimate for the best time to sell based on your sensitivity results? 3. Finally, substitute $4.00 for the variable…arrow_forward
