A company manufactures two types of boxes, corrugated and ordinary cartons. The boxes undergo two major processes: cutting and pinning operations. The profits per unit are $6 and $4 respectively. Each corrugated box requires 2 minutes for cutting and each carton requires 3 minutes for cutting, whereas each corrugated box requires 2 minutes for pinning and each carton requires 1 minute for pinning. The available cutting time is 120 minutes and total pinning time is 60 minutes. Determine the optimum quantities of the two boxes to maximize the profits. a. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the quantities of the two boxes that should be produced in order to maximize total profit contribution. b. Graph the feasible region. c. Determine the coordinates of each extreme point.

Q5) Metters Cabinets, Inc., needs to choose a production method for its new office shelf, the Maxistand. To help accomplish this, the firm has gathered the following production cost data. Metters Cabinets projects an annual demand of 24,000 units for the Maxistand. The Maxistand will sell for $120 per unit. Which process type will maximize the annual profit from producing the Maxistand? What is the value of this annual profit?

Q4: suppose a particular Ford Plant can build Escort at a rate of one every hr., explorer at a rate of one every 1.5 hr and Lincoln navigator at a rate of one every 2 hr. the vehicles get 25, 15 and 10 miles per gallon of fuel respectively and congress mandates that the average fuel economy of vehicles produced at least 18 miles of all per gallon. Ford loses $1000 on each Escort, but makes a profit of $ 5000 on each Explorer and $ 15000 on each Navigator. Formulate this problem to maximize the profit of ford in one 8 hr-day.
Questions 2 – Capital budgeting and NPV Responsible Testing Company may buy DNA‐testing equipment A costing $60,000 now (at year 0). This equipment is expected to reduce labor costs of the clinical staff, net of all staff training expenditures, by $20,000 annually in the subsequent years following the investment. Equipment A has a useful life of 8 years and can be straight‐line‐depreciated over its years of operations. No salvage value is expected at the end. The corporate tax rate (combined federal and state) is 40% and the company’s required rate‐of‐return is 15%. (2a) Describe the company’s “investment project”. Calculate the relevant cash flows and use the NPV method to determine the attractiveness of this project. (2b) Suppose that in the second year (year 2) a more efficient and effective DNA‐testing equipment B is expected to enter the market. The new equipment costs $90,000, will have an effective operating life of 6 years, can be straight‐line‐depreciated but…
*5. BagBoy makes a popular model pull cart for golfers. The company wants to determine the upcoming 6-month production schedule for this product. Past records indicate that up to 2400 pull carts can be produced in regular time each month; and up to 200 additional carts may be produced in any month during overtime. Because of the difference in labor cost pull carts of this model that are produced in regular time cost Bagboy $30 to make, while those produced in overtime cost the company $46. Forecasted demands for the next six months are shown in the table below. Month 1 Forecast Demand 1500 2 1800 Month Forecast Demand 3 2000 4 2500 5 3000 6 2800 Holding a pull cart in inventory costs $3 per cart per month and there are no pull carts in inventory at the start of the period. The storage capacity of the company's warehouse limits them to holding at most 400 pull carts in inventory at the end of any given month, and the manager wishes to have no inventory carried over at the end of the six…

9. The Ace Manufacturing Company has orders for three similar products: Orders Product (units) A 2000 500 1200 B C Three machines are available for the manufacturing operations. All three machines can produce all the products at the same production rate. However, due to varying defect per- centages of each product on each machine, the unit costs of the products vary depending on the machine used. Machine capacities for the next week and the unit costs are as follows: Сараcity (units) Product Machine Machine A в C 1500 $1.00 $1.30 $1.10 $1.20 $1.40 $1.00 $0.90 $1.20 $1.20 1 1500 1000 3 Use the transportation model to develop the minimum cost production schedule for the products and machines.

.A team of 10 unloaders is employed in good reception bay of a large warehouse. During an 8 hour day 40 lorries arrive and it takes the team 10 minutes to unload each lorry. Each team member is paid RM3 per hour and it costs RM10 per hour to keep lorries waiting. Studies show that increasing the team to 14 men would reduce the unloading time to 7 minutes. Would it be worthwhile increasing the team to 14?
