Chapter 3, Problem 15RP
Explanation of Solution
LP Formulation:
- Let x1 be the process 1 and x2 be the process 2.
- Let A be the chemical produced and B be the chemical B produced.
- Let B2 be the ounces of chemical that is unsold.
- The objective is to maximize Chemco’s revenue.
- z= (cost of A) (unit of process 1)+(cost of B) (units of process 2) – (cost of B2) (units of B unsold)
- z=
- Thus, the objective function is,
- Maximize,
- z=
- z=

An iron rod is graded based on the following criteria:
Magnetite content must be greater than 50
Calcium carbonate must be less than 0.7
Other adulterants must be greater than 5600
The grades are as follows:
Grade is A if all three conditions are met.
Grade is B if conditions (i) and (ii) are met
Grade is C if conditions (ii) and (iii) are met
Grade is D if conditions (i) and (iii) are met
Grade is E if conditions only one condition is met
Grade is F if none of the conditions are met.
Write a program in which you ask user to enter the values of Magnetite, Calcium Carbonate and other adulterants. The output will be generated as per the conditions mentioned above.
(Put the visible screen shots of the output with 2 to 4 different input variations)
A pharma company produces two types of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), API T and API C.
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.)
The pharma company must determine how much…
Truckco manufactures two types of trucks: 1 and 2. Each truck must go through the painting shop and assembly shop. If the painting shop were completely devoted to painting Type 1 trucks, then 800 per day could be painted; if the painting shop were completely devoted to painting Type 2 trucks, then 700 per day could be painted. If the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 1 engines, then 1,500 per day could be assembled; if the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 2 engines, then 1,200 per day could be assembled. Each Type 1 truck contributes $300 to profit; each Type 2 truck contributes $500. How much capacity in percent does a single truck of each type uses at each shop?

- 4. An electronics company is engaged in the production of two components C, and C2, used in radio sets. Each unit of C costs the company 5 in wages and 5 in materials, while each unit of C2 costs the company 7 25 in wages and 15 in materials. The company sells both products on one-period credit terms, but the company's labour and material expenses must be paid in cash. The selling price of C, is 7 30 per unit and of C, it is 7 70. Because of the strong monopoly of the company for these components, it is assumed that the company can sell at the prevailing prices as many units as it produces. The company's production capacity is, however, limited by two considerations. First, at the beginning of period 1, the company has initial balance of 7 4,000 (cash plus bank credit plus collections from past credit sales). Secondly, the company has available, in each period, 2,000 hours of machine time and 1,400 hours of assembly time.

After several years of operations and testing, their scientists found high protein and carbohydrates in two of their ingredients, barley and corn. While an ounce of barley costs $0.25, an ounce of corn costs $0.46. While an ounce of barley provides 9 mg of protein and 1 mg of carbohydrates, an ounce of corn provides 7 mg of protein and 5 mg of carbohydrates. Recently, demand for wheat crackers has increased. To lower the overall cost of producing wheat crackers, Frontline Agricultural Processing Systems will want to know how many ounces of barley and corn to include in each box of wheat crackers to meet the minimum requirements of 160 milligrams of protein and 40 milligrams of carbohydrates. If the carbohydrate requirement is reduced by 2 milligrams, how much reduction would the optimal cost change by? Round to 2 decimal places.arrow_forward
- Leary Chemical manufactures three chemicals: A, B, and C. These chemicals are produced via two production processes: 1 and 2. Running process 1 for an hour costs $4 and yields 3 units of A, 1 of B, and 1 of C. Running process 2 for an hour costs $1 and produces 1 unit of A and 1 of B. To meet customer demands, at least 10 units of A, 5 of B, and 3 of C must be produced daily. Processes cannot be run simultaneously, and total number of operational hours is limited to 12 hours.
