Telefonika is a telecommunication company, located in the Accra Mall, selling mobile phones and accessories. Most of their new phones are ordered. But, Telefonika stocks three main phones for walk-in customers. Every week, they generate profit of GH¢600 from selling Galaxy S2, GH¢400 from Galaxy S3 and GH¢300 from Galaxy S4. The overall weekly cost of these types of phones are GH¢1,800, GH¢2,100 and GH¢1,200 respectively. This week, Telefonika has a budget of GH¢12,000 available to buy these three types of phones. During sales, each phone type must be unpacked, leading to 8 hours of unpacking time for S2 phones, 12 hours for S3 phones and 16 hours for S4 phones. The manager estimates that he and his workers have 120 labour hours available to unpack the three types of phones. Telefonika has enough space to order 20 phones this week. The manager also wants to stock at least twice as many S4 as S2 and S3 phones because S4 phones sell better.a) Formulate a linear programming model for this…
Ocean water contains 0.9 ounces of gold per ton. Method A costs $550 per ton of waterprocessed and will recover 90% of the metal. Method B costs $400 per ton of waterprocessed and will recover 60% of the metal. The two methods require the same capitalinvestment and are capable of producing the same amount of gold each day. If the extractedgold can be sold for $1,750 per ounce, which method should be recommended? The supplyof ocean water is essentially unlimited.
Accounting procedures allow a business to evaluate their inventory costs based on two methods: LIFO (last in first out) or FIFO (first in first out). A manufacturer evaluated its finished goods inventory (in $000s) for five products with the LIFO and FIFO methods. To analyze the difference, they computed FIFO − LIFO for each product. We would like to determine if the LIFO method results in a lower cost of inventory than the FIFO method.

A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income?

- A large department store needs at least 3600 labor hours covered per week. It employs full-time staff 40 hr/wk and part- time staff 25 hr/wk. The cost to employ a full-time staff member is more because the company pays benefits such as health care and life insurance. Hours per Week Cost per Hour Full time 40 hr $25 Part time 25 hr $18 The store manager also knows that to make the store run efficiently, the number of full-time employees must be at least 1.25 times the number of part-time employees. a. Determine the number of full-time employees and the number of part-time employees that should be used to minimize the weekly labor cost. b. What is the minimum weekly cost to staff the store under these constraints?arrow_forwardHenry Lee is the Vice President of Purchasing for the consumer electronics division of the Major Electric Corporation (MEC). The company recently introduced a new type of video camcorder that has taken the market by storm. Although Henry is pleased with the strong demand for this product in the market place, it has been a challenge to keep up with MEC's distributors' orders of this camcorder. His current challenge is how to meet requests from MEC's major distributors in Pittsburgh, Denver, Baltimore, and Houston who have placed orders of 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 25,000 units, respectively, for delivery in 2 months (there is a 1-month manufacturing and one-month shipping lead time for this product). MEC has contracts with companies in Hong Kong, Korea, and Singapore who manufacture camcorders for the company under the MEC label. These contracts require MEC to order a specified minimum number of units each month at a guaranteed per unit cost. The contracts also specify the maximum…arrow_forwardA manufacturing company purchases two important parts from two different suppliers in the same region. The two suppliers are located about 100 miles apart. There are two shipping options for the two parts ordered. Option 1: Orders are shipped separately from each supplier. The contracted trucking company charges $720 for a shipment from each supplier. Option 2: Orders are aggregated in a single shipment. The trucking company needs to drive additional 100 miles to pick up orders from the other supplier. So there will be an additional charge of $283 for the additional stop. The weekly demand and unit cost information are listed in the table below (assume 52 weeks/year). Assume the unit annual holding cost is 16% of the unit cost for part A, and 18% for part B. Part A Part B Average weekly demand 400 513 Unit cost $39 $14 Please determine the average flow time (in weeks) in option 2. Numbers only. Keep 3-decimal if not exact, either round up or down is ok.arrow_forward
- The research department at a manufacturing company has developed a new process that it believes will result in an improved product. Management must decide whether to go ahead and market the new product. The new product may or may not be better than the old one. If the new product is better and the company decides to market it, sales should increase by $70,000. If it is not better and they replace the old product with the new product on the market, they will lose $25,000 to competitors. If they decide not to market the new product, they will lose a total of $60,000 if it is better and just research costs of $20,000 if it is not. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) Prepare a payoff matrix. □ (Type an integer or decimal for each matrix element. Do not include the $ symbol in your answer.)arrow_forwardThe research department at a manufacturing company has developed a new process that it believes will result in an improved product.

- A tutoring service provides tutoring for a fee. When the tutoring service charges $11/hour, there is a demand for 28 tutors per week. When the hourly rate rises to $17/hour, the demand drops to 16 tutors per week. On the other hand, at $11/hour, the service is able to support only 28 tutors per week, whereas at the rate of $17/hour, it is able to provide 58 tutors per week. Find the price per hour at which the number of tutors demanded and the number of tutors supplied will be equal.arrow_forwardA manufacturer of downhill and cross-country skis reports that manufacturing time is 1 hours and 4 hours, respectively, per ski and that finishing time is 3 hours for each downhill and 4 hours for each cross-crountry ski. There are only 16 hours per week available for the manufacturing process and 24 hours for the finishing process. The average profit is $62 for downhill ski and $92 for cross-country ski. The manufacturer wants to know how many of each type of ski should be made to maximize the weekly profit. Corner points of the feasible region: If there is more than one corner point, type the points separated by a comma (i.e. (1,2).(3,4)). Maximum profit is: $ when and downhill skis cross country skis are produced.arrow_forwardThere are many real-life problems like the traveling salesperson problem.For example, the telephone company must decide on the most efficient route for a worker to collect the money from public telephones.
