- Kenneth currently sells suits for company A at a salary of $22,000 plus a $10 commission for each suit sold. Company B offers him a position with a salary of $28,000 plus a $4 commission for each suit sold. How many suits would Kenneth need to sell for the options to be equal?arrow_forwardWhen Gloria spent 15 minutes on the elliptical trainer and then did circuit training for 30 minutes, her fitness app says she burned 435 calories. When she spent 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer and 40 minutes circuit training she burned 690 calories. Solve the system {15e+30c=43530e+40c=690 for e, the number of calories she burns for each minute on the elliptical trainer, and c, the number of calories she burns for each minute of circuit training.arrow_forwardA tailor makes wool tweed sport coats and wool slacks. He is able to get a shipment of 150 square yards of wool cloth from Scotland each month to make coats and slacks, and he has 200 hours of his own labor to make them each month. A coat requires 3 square yards of wool and 10 hours to make, and a pair of slacks requires 5 square yards of wool and 4 hours to make. The tailor earns ₱50 in profit from each coat he makes and ₱40 from each pair of slacks. He wants to know how many coats and pairs of slacks to produce to maximize profit. Requirements: a) Define decision variables and tabulated data b) Formulate the Integer Linear Programming Model.arrow_forward
- 3. A shop owner blends a fancy brand of tea with a cheaper brand. The fancy brand sells for $5 per pound, and the cheaper brand sells for $2 per pound. How much of each should the owner mix to have 30 pounds worth $3.69 per pound? (Be sure to define your variables and show all your work for full credit.)arrow_forwardA self-employed carpenter earns $60 for the sale of a table, T, and $40 for the sale of a rocking chair, C. It takes 3 hours for him to make a table and 4 hours to manufacture each rocking chair. He is limited to working at most 60 hours per week. The average manufacturing cost to the carpenter is $26 per table and $30 for every rocking chair. He wishes to keep his manufacturing costs to no more than $390 per week. Given these various constraints, he wishes to maximize his revenue, R. a) In each blank box below, select the best answer from the list that helps complete the objective function and its associated constraint inequalities.

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…arrow_forward
- Jerg is a major manufacturer of the flu vaccine in the U.S. Jerg manufactures the vaccine before the flu season at a cost of $10 per dose (a "dose" is vaccine for one person). During the flu season Jerg sells doses to distributors and to health-care providers for $25. However, sometimes the flu season is mild and not all doses are sold - if a dose is not sold during the season then it is worthless and must be thrown out. Jerg anticipates demand for next flu season to follow a normal distrbituion with a mean of 60 million units and a standard deviation of 15 million units. Which one of the following is CORRECT? -Jerg should order more than 67.5 million units. -Jerg should order more than 75 million units. -Jerg should order more than 60 million units. -Jerg should order more than 82.5 million units.arrow_forwardIn preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance.

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_forward
- 2 Mouldy home. A landlord is deciding whether to undertake routine maintenance on their rental property to reduce the potential for damp/mould issues. The weather throughout the year could turn out to be mostly dry, moderately wet, or extremely wet. Without routine maintenance, the cost of damage to the property and lost rental income is $500 in a mostly dry year, $2000 in a moderately wet year, and $8000 in an extremely wet year. Routine maintenance will cost $1200 and reduces the cost of damages and lost income to $0 in a mostly dry year, $400 in a moderately wet year, and $2400 in an extremely wet year. (a) Construct the payoff table for this decision which describes the total costs. (b) Calculate the EMVS for the two decisions ("No Maintenance", "Maintenance") if the probabilities of mostly dry, moderately wet and extremely wet are 0.25, 0.6 and 0.15, respectively. (c) What would be a sensible objective in this scenario and, based on your calculations, what should the landlord do?arrow_forwardOl’-Time Quilts receives an order for a patchwork quilt made from square patches of three types: solid green, solid blue, and floral. The quilt is to be 8 squares, and there must be 15 times as many solid squares as floral squares. If Ol’-Time charges $3 per solid square, $5 per floral square, and if the customer wishes to spend exactly $300, how many of each type of square may be used in the quilt? Give a general solution stating any limitation on the parameter. Then provide two specific solutions and compare. Is one of those two solutions preferable over the other? If so, why might be the case? If not, why are the two specific solution equally preferable?arrow_forwardAsaparrow_forward
