- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.A group of students organizes a bake sale in which they sell hundreds of cookies at$1 per piece. They set up a table on campus and wait for students to come and purchasetheir cookies. Consider the following variables in this bake sale operation:1. Size of the cookies2. Weather conditions on campus3. Organization of the table4. Number of cookies sold5. Competition from other fund-raisers coinciding on campus6. Amount of advertising and shouting of the students at the bake sale table7. Number of students on campus that dayWhich of these variables are input variables?a. 1 and 2b. 1 and 3c. 1, 3, and 5d. 1, 3, and 6During an eight-hour shift, 750 non-defective parts are desired as a result of a manufacturing operation. The default operation time is 15 minutes. As the operators of machine are inexperienced, the actual time they take to perform the operation is 20 minutes, and, on average, a fifth of the parts that start to be manufactured are lost. Assuming that each one of the machines used in this operation will not be available for one hour in each shift, determine the number of machines needed.
- At a small but growing airport, the local airline company is purchasing a new tractor for a tractor-trailer train to bring luggage to and from the airplanes. A new mechanized luggage system will be installed in 3 years, so the tractor will not be needed after that. However, because it will receive heavy use, so that the running and maintenance costs will increase rapidly as the tractor ages, it may still be more economical to replace the tractor after 1 or 2 years. The following table gives the total net discounted cost associated with purchasing a tractor (purchase price minus trade-in allowance, plus running and maintenance costs) at the end of year i and trading it in at the end of year j (where year O is now). i 012 1 $13,000 j 2 $28,000 $17,000 3 $48,000 $33,000 $20,000 The problem is to determine at what times (if any) the tractor should be replaced to minimize the total cost for the tractors over 3 years. (a) Formulate this problem as a minimum cost flow problem by showing the…At a small but growing airport, the local airline company is purchasing a new tractor for a tractor-trailer train to bring luggage to and from the airplanes.

- In an oil company, its south refinery produces per day 300 barrels of high grade oil, 200 barrels of medium grade oil and 150 barrels of low grade oil. The cost of operation of this refinery amounts to P 600,000 per day. The north refinery of the company produces each day 100 barrels of high grade oil and 100 barrels of medium-grade oil and 150 of low-grade oil. Which has a total of P500,000 operational costs. If the company’s production requirement is at least 900 barrels for high-grade oil, 800 barrels for medium-grade oil, and 750 for low-grade oil, how many days, are required for each refinery to operate to obtain the minimum cost?SIMPLEX METHOD A factory makes tennis rackets and cricket bats. A tennis racket takes 1.5 hours of machine time and 3 hours of craftsman’s time in its making while a cricket bat takes 3 hour of machine time and 1 hour of craftsman’s time.

- Please show solution and formula used. Assuming the total number of students studying in the top four universities in the Philippines is approximately 158,000. And the distribution is as follows: University of the Philippines (UP) - 40% of the total number Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) - 23,700 De La Salle University (DLSU) - 25% of the total number University of Santo Tomas - 20% of the total number And only the following number of students owns a tablet computer: 20% of UP students 85% of ADMU students 90% of DLSU students 85% of UST students What is the total market penetration of tablet computers among the students of the top four universities? What is the total market size of tablet computers in the top four universities?4) The making of rivet holes in structural steel members can be done by 2 methods. The first method consists of laying out the position of the holes in the members and using a drill press costing P100k. The machinist is paid P60 per hour and he can drill 80 holes per hour. The second method makes use of a multiple-punch machine costing P80k. The punch operator is paid P40 an hour and he can punch out 1 hole for 3 seconds. This method also requires an expense of P1.25 per hole to set the machine. (a) if all other costs are assumed equal, what is the total cost for each machine for 10k holes, assuming the total cost of each machine to be charged to these holes? (b) for how many holes will the costs be equal?A manufacturing firm has four plants and wants to find the most efficient means of meeting the requirements of its four customers.
