- The Callaghan family owns 410 acres of farmland in Co. Cork on which they grow wheat and oats. Each acre of wheat costs €105 to plant, cultivate, and harvest; each acre of oats costs €210. The Bradleys have a budget of €52,500 for next year. The government limits the number of acres of oats that can be planted to 100. The profit from each acre of wheat is €300; the profit from each acre of oats is €520. The Callaghans want to know how many acres of each crop to plant in order to maximize their profit. ii. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.arrow_forwardWilson Creek Farm has 200 acres of land available for planting. The owner is considering planting three crops: corn, soybeans, and wheat. The production yield, water requirements, and labor requirements for a salable crop are given here. The owner expects to have only 35,000 gallons of water available per week to use for the crops, and during the growing season he will only have 8000 person-hours of labor available. The expected profit per bushel of each crop is $1.00 for corn, $1.60 for soybeans, and $3.00 for wheat. The owner can use any mix of crops (i.e., he can plant the same crop on all 200 acres or he can plant all three crops in different proportions). d. Solve the problem using Excel Solver Tool. Add supporting pictures from the software for each step. Discuss your output in line with the given reports from Excel.

Many biochemical materials are usually necessary to produce a small amount of APIs. To produce 1kg of API T, one must use 5kg and 10kg of biochemical materials W and P, respectively. To produce 1kg of API C, one must use 4 kg and 5 kg of biochemical materials W and P, respectively. It costs $100 and $60 to produce 1kg API T and C, respectively. The pharma company can spend $600 at most to produce the APIs. Taking into account yield uncertainties of the APIs, the pharma company has two goals as follows. Goal 1: The total amount of biochemical material W should be 35kg or more (i.e., approximately 35kg, ideally more than 35kg. In the worst case, the amount is less than 35kg.) Goal 2: The total amount of biochemical material P should be 60kg or less (i.e., approximately 60kg, ideally less than 60kg. In the worst case, the amount is more than 60kg.)
