Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 5, Problem 1RP
a.
Explanation of Solution
Profit
- Let
- The new optimum solution value or profit is calculated by the given formula:
- The key row value can be calculated by the given formula:
- From the LINDO output, here the old optimum value is 1,360,000.
- Hence the new value is:
b.
Explanation of Solution
Increasing capacity
“Yes”, HAL should hire the contractor if the capacity is increased to 850 computers at a cost of 5000.
Reason
- From the LINDO output, the dual price in row 2 is 133.333.
- When the capacity is increased to 850 computers, then the profit should be increased by 850(133.333).
- This means the profit value should be greater than 5000.
- Hence the capacity should be increased and here the allowable increase is 100.
- Hence HAL should hire the contractor in order to increase the capacity.
c.
Explanation of Solution
Profit
- The new optimum solution value is calculated by the given formula:
- The key row value can be calculated by the given formula:
- From the LINDO output, the reduced cost for XLV is 33.333.
- Hence the profit of VAX can be increased by 33.333 in order to produce VAXes in Los Angeles.
d.
Explanation of Solution
Extra labour cost
- Let
- Here the labour is purchased at a cost of 20 per hour.
- Here the Key value is 313.333.
- Hence the

Nawras Tech assembles laptop computers from generic components. It purchases its colour monitors from a manufacturer in Taiwan with a lead time of one week. Daily demand for monitors is normally distributed with a mean of 30 monitors and a standard deviation of 8 monitors. The company has determined that the ordering cost is OMR 125 per order, the annual holding cost is OMR 25 per monitor, and the stockout cost is OMR 160 per lost sale. Currently, Nawras Tech accepts a 5% risk of stockout. Assume 350 days per year and 7 days in a week.
a) Calculate the current fill rate.
b) What is the annual cost of lost sales?
This is the question. I am unsure how to begin on -
Acme Parts runs a small factory and employs workers who are paid one of three hourly rates depending on their shift: first shift, $17 per hour; second shift, $18.50 per hour; third shift, $22 per hour. Each factory worker might work any number of hours per week; any hours greater than 40 are paid at one and one-half times the usual rate. In addition, second- and third-shift workers can elect to participate in the retirement plan for which 3% of the worker’s gross pay is deducted from the paychecks.
Write a program that prompts the user for hours worked, shift, and, if the shift is 2 or 3, whether the worker elects the retirement (1 for yes, 2 for no). Display:
Hours worked

Hourly pay rate
Regular pay
Overtime pay
Total of regular and overtime pay
Retirement deduction, if any

- A large paper manufacturing company, the Quality Paper Corporation, has 10 paper mills from which it needs to supply 1,000 customers. It uses three alternative types of machines and four types of raw materials to make five different types of paper. Therefore, the company needs to develop a detailed production distribution plan on a monthly basis, with an objective of minimizing the total cost of producing and distributing the paper during the month. Specifically, it is necessary to determine jointly the amount of each type of paper to be made at each paper mill on each type of machine and the amount of each type of paper to be shipped from each paper millto each customer. The relevant data can be expressed symbolically as follows:Djk = number of units of paper type k demanded by customer j,rklm = number of units of raw material m needed to produce 1 unit of paper type k on machine type l,Rim = number of units of raw material m available at paper mill i,ckl = number of capacity units of…arrow_forwardMaps Remaining Time: 58 minutes, 28 seconds.
