Malloy Milling grinds calcined alumina to a standard granular size. The mill produces two different size products, regular grind and super grind, from the same raw materials. After reviewing the production rate, demand, and profit for each of the two types of grind, Malloy Milling found the following linear optimization model for profit, where R is the number of tons of regular grind produced and S is the number of tons of super grind produced. Implement the linear optimization model on a spreadsheet and use Solver to find an optimal solution. Interpret the Solver Answer Report, identify the binding constraints, and verify the values of the slack variables.

Carizick Co manufactures gaming products. It has created a new games console called the QpBox which is about to be launched. Demand for the QpBox is anticipated to be high. The product life cycle of the QpBox is expected to be three years with 300,000 units forecast to be sold during its first year. Sales volumes are expected to decrease by 75,000 units in each subsequent year. Production volumes will be based on expected demand levels. The following costs for the QpBox have been determined: Design and development Pre-launch advertising Advertising in Year 2 Packaging Manufacturing cost $120m $0.5m $0.4m $3 per unit $80 per unit At a recent board meeting, the finance director said that Carizick Co should look to maximise the profitability of the QpBox over its life cycle. The marketing director made the comment that Carizick Co should focus on extending the maturity phase of the life cycle only as this stage is where the QpBox is most profitable. Contract with Zone Co Carizick Co has…
The Miramar Company is going to introduce one of three new products: a widget, a hummer, or a nimnot. The market conditions (favorable, stable, or unfavorable) will determine the profit or loss the company realizes, as shown in the following payoff table: a. Compute the expected value for each decision and select the best one. b. Develop the opportunity loss table and compute the expected opportunity loss for each product. c. Determine how much the firm would be willing to pay to a market research firm to gain better information about future market conditions.

Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data warehouse: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data warehouse? What is the expected annual cost associated with that recommendation? Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a). What is the probability of the cost exceeding $700,000?
