vessels: A type A vessel has 60 deluxe cabins and 160 standard cabins, whereas a type B vessel has 80 deluxe cabins and 120 standard cabins. Under a charter agreement with Odyssey Travel Agency, Deluxe River Cruises is to provide Odyssey with a minimum of 360 deluxe and 680 standard cabins for their 15-day cruise in May. It costs $44,000 to operate a type A vessel and $54,000 to operate a type B vessel for that period. How many of each type vessel should be used to keep the operating costs to a minimum?

Maui Surf Company makes custom made surfboards at shops in Lahaina and Hana both on the island of Maui. As supply chain manager, you must coordinate the distribution of its surfboards to Kanapali Beach and Ho'okipa Beach. The Lahaina shop can make 120 surfboards while the Hana shop can make 175 surfboard annually. Kanapali Beach orders 155 boards and Ho'okipa Beach orders 140 boards annually. You have an annual transportation budget of $4890 and transportation costs from each shop to each beach are as follows: Lahaina to Kanapali: $10 per board; Lahaina to Ho'okpia:$13 per board; Hana to Kanapali:$25 per board and Hana to Ho'okipia: $15 per board. Assuming you wish to fill all orders, how many boards are shipped from each shop to each beach? Lahaina to Kanapali: Lahaina to Ho'okipia: Hana to Kanapali: Hana to Ho'okpia:

Schneider Logistics Company has built a new warehouse in Columbus, Ohio, to facilitate the consolidation of freight shipments to customers in the region. George Schneider must determine how many teams of dock workers he should hire to handle the cross-docking operations and the other warehouse activities.

Labor contracts require that they higher no more than 325 employees. Licensing restrictions require that they open no more than 25 new restaurants. Let x be the number of drive-through restaurants and let y be the number of full-service restaurants in this expansion.  Let R be the expected annual revenue in dollars resulting from the expansion. McJester's wants to maximize the expected revenue.  Set up the linear programming problem. Answer the following questions about this linear programming problem. The question is attached…

In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $32 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $40 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before finalizing the decision. (a) Determine the equation for computing FTC's profit for given values of the…

Southwest Hospital has an operating room used only for eye surgery. The annual cost of rent, heat, and electricity for the operating room and its equipment is $360,000, and the annual salaries of the people who staff this room total $540,000. Each surgery performed requires the use of $760 worth of medical supplies and drugs. To promote good will, every patient receives a bouquet of flowers the day after surgery. In addition, one-quarter of the patients require dark glasses, which the hospital provides free of charge. It costs the hospital $30 for each bouquet of flowers and $40 for each pair of glasses. The hospital receives a payment of $2000 for each eye operation performed. 1. Identify the revenue per case and the annual fixed and variable costs for running the operating room. 2. How many eye operations must the hospital perform each year in order to break even? 3. Southwest Hospital currently averages about 70 eye operations per month. One of the nurses has just learned about a…
