Each coffee table produced by Kevin Watson Designers nets the firm a profit of $10. Each bookcase yields a $12 profit. Watson's firm is small and its resources limited. During any given production period (of 1 week), 10 gallons of varnish and 14 lengths of high-quality redwood are available. Each coffee table requires approximately 1 gallon of varnish and 1 length of redwood. Each bookcase takes 1 gallon of varnish and 2 lengths of wood. The aim of the objective function for Kevin should be to Maximize the objective value. The optimum solution is: Number of coffee tables produced per week = (round your response to two decimal places).

- . A commercial orchard grows, picks, and packs apples and pears. A peck (quarter bushel) of apples takes 4 minutes to pick and 5 minutes to pack; a peck of pears takes 5 minutes to pick and 4 minutes to pack. Only one picker and one packer are available. How many pecks each of apples and pears should be picked and packet every hour (60 minutes) if the profit is $3/peck for apples and $2/peck for pears? Solve graphically as a linear program and confirm analytically.Dark beer is purchased by the case for $18.90. There are 24 bottles in each case, and each bottle contains 12 fluid ounces.

Typically, out of the 100 guitars that begin production each month, only 80 percent are considered good enough to sell. The other 20 percent are scrapped due to quality problems that are identified after they have completed the production process. Each guitar sells for $300. Because some of the production process is automated, each guitar only requires 10 labor hours. Labor is paid at $10/hour, materials cost is $40/guitar, and overhead is $2,000. a) Calculate the labor and multifactor productivities. b) After some study, the operations manager recommends 3 options to improve the company’s multifactor productivity: (1) increase the sales price by 10 percent, (2) improve quality so that only 10 percent are defective, or (3) reduce labor, material, and overhead costs by 10 percent. Which option has the greatest impact on the multifactor productivity measure?

Since the casting process is highly variable, not all castings produced are good. The cost of producing each casting is $550; the additional cost of finishing a good casting is $125. If a casting is not good, it is recycled at a value of $75; excess good castings are not finished but are recycled at a value of $75. The customer has agreed to accept 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 castings at a price of $1250 each. If fewer than 15 good castings are produced, none will be purchased by the customer.

- 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.

- 2. A machine part can be exhausted either from aluminum or steel. There is an order of 8,000 units.Steel costs 3.80Php/kg, while aluminum cost 8.70Php/kg. If steel is used, the steel per unit weighs110g and 30g for aluminum. In production, steel is 50 units/hr and 80units/hr with an aid of a toolcosting 640Php, which will be useless after the 8,000 units are finished. The cost of the machineoperator is 10.80Php/hr. if all other costs are identical, which material is more economical?a. Aluminum, by 1,264Php cost difference.b. Aluminum, by 1,653Php cost differencec.

The following annual information was gathered: Simple Complex Selling price per unit P47.00 P26.00 Variable cost per unit 42.00 22.00 Total annual fixed costs are P18,000. Assume XYZ Corporation can produce and sell any mix of Simple or Complex at full capacity. It takes one hour to make one unit of Complex. However, Simple takes 50% longer to manufacture when compared to Complex. Only 120,000 hours of plant capacity are available. How many units of Simple and Complex should XYZ Corporation produce and sell in a year to maximize profits?A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 10,237 units of component JY21 per year. Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with a lead time of 6 days. The unit purchase cost is $31.4 per unit. The cost to place and process an order from the supplier is $168 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 12.2 percent of the unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is appropriate. If the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 1,053 units per order, what is the annual holding cost?
