Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls,Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent loca-tion, demand has increased by 25% in the last year. On far toomany occasions, customers have not been able to purchasethe bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, nonew ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employeesuggested ways to load the ovens differently so that moreloaves of bread can be baked at one time.

Suppose that AlwaysRain Irrigation's marketing department will undertake an intense ad campaign for the bronze sprinklers, which are more expensive but also more durable than the plastic ones. Forecast demand for the next four years is: Plastic 90 Plastic 190 Plastic 360 Bronze 90 Bronze 180 Bronze 360 YEARLY DEMAND 1 (IN 000m) 2 (IN 000) 3 (IN 000). 4 (IN 000m) 44 32 15 50 11 6 16 55 15 S 16. 55 17 64 10 6 17 56 18 67 23 9 20 Both production lines can produce all the different types of nozzles. The bronze machines needed for the bronze sprinklers require two operators and can produce up to 12,000 sprinklers. The plastic injection molding machine needed for the plastic sprinklers requires four operators and can produce up to 200,000 sprinklers. Three bronze machines and only one injection molding machine are available. Required: a. What are the capacity implications of the marketing campaign? (Assume that there is no learning)

At Taste of Thyme coffee shop a dirty chai latte creates a profit point of $2.85 for a small and $3.80 for a large. In a month, 200 small lattes were sold and 285 large lattes. As a fast growing demand item with fall approaching, the demand is estimated at 400 and 420 per month. The amount of machine time needed to produce the lattes is 5 minutes and 7 minutes each or for a month, 16.67 hours a month for a small and 33.25 hours a month for a large. What is the maximization function for profit? A. Profit = 400x1 + 420x2 B. Profit = 2.85x1 + 3.80x2 C. Profit = 16.67x1 + 33.25x2 D. Profit = 2.50x1 + 3.50x2
