The Random Company manufactures two products: Zeta and Beta. Each Productmust pass through two processing operations. All materials are introduced at thestart of process No. 1. There are no work-in-process inventories. Random mayproduce either one product exclusively or various combinations of both productssubject to the constraints shown to the right. A shortage of technical labor haslimited Beta production to 400 units per day. There are no constraints on theproduction of Zeta other than the hour contraints shown in the schedule. Assumethat all relationships between capacity and production are linear.Hours required toproduce 1 unit of:ZetaBetaTotal Capacity inhours per dayProcess No. 1Zeta+Beta(Type whole numbers.)44800 hoursProcess No.2411250 hoursContributionMargin per Unit$3.75$5.25Given the objective to maximize total contribution margin, what is theproduction contraint for Process No. 1?[

MSA Computer Corporation manufactures two models of smartphones, the Alpha 4 and the Beta 5. The firm employs five technicians, working 160 hours each per month, on its assembly line. Management insists that full employment (i.e., all 160 hours of time) be maintained for each worker during next month’s operations. It requires 20 labor hours to assemble each Alpha 4 computer and 25 labor hours to assemble each Beta 5 model. MSA wants to see at least 10 Alpha 4s and at least 15 Beta 5s produced during the production period. Alpha 4s generate $1,200 profit per unit, and Beta 5s yield $1,800 each. Determine the most profitable number of each model of smartphone to produce during the coming month. Formulate as an LP problem. Solve using an LP software program or spreadsheet.
A factory produces two types of widgets: Type A and Type B. The factory uses the Gauss-Seidel method to optimize the production process. Type A widgets require 3 units of material and 2 hours of labor to produce, while Type B widgets require 4 units of material and 1 hour of labor. The factory has a daily limit of 120 units of material and 8 hours of labor. In addition, the factory has a daily demand for at least 100 Type A widgets and 50 Type B widgets. Using the Gauss-Seidel method, determine the maximum number of Type A and Type B widgets he factory can produce in a day while still meeting the daily demand and staying within the daily limits of material and labor.

A manufacturer produces three products: Product A, Product B and Product C. Tobe able to produce each product he uses a combination of three distinct inputsnamely Input I, Input II and Input III the supply of which is currently at 730, 350and 350 units respectively. Each unit of Product A requires 6 units of Input I, 3units of Input II and 4 units of Input III to be produced. Similarly, each unit ofProduct B requires 8 units of Input 1 and 4 units of Input II while Product C uses 5units of Input I, 1 unit of Input II and 3 units of Input III.(i) Let a, b and c represent the number of units produced of Products A, B and Crespectively. The manufacturer must decide what quantity of each product toproduce so that his entire supply of inputs is utilized. Formulate his/herdecision in the form of a system of three linear equations in the variables a, band c. [3 marks](ii) Rewrite the above system of linear equations in the matrix form Ax = b.

Suppose that you have two products, (Product 1 and 2), which can be produced in one of two plants (Plant 1 and 2). The corresponding unit processing times of each product on each plant, and their unit costs are given. Each plant has a minimum working hour limit, as shown in the table below.Decision variables for the problem are defined as x: number of product 1 produced, and y:number of product 2 produced. Formulated the problem as an LP minimizing total cost and solve it by graphical method. Explicitly show the isocost lines, the intersection of the costraints and the optimal solution on the graph.

A certain company is interested in maximizing the monthly profit from two of its products, designated I and II. To manufacture these products the company uses a type of machine that has an availability of 200 machine-hours per month and a hand type of workforce with an availability of 240 man-hours per month. To produce a unit of product I, 5 machine hours and 10 labor hours are required, while for the product II, 4 hours of labor are used. Demand for 20 units is expected per month of product I and 45 units of product II. A profit per unit of US$ 10.00 is calculated for product I and US$ 6.00 for product II. Determine the quantities of each product which must be manufactured per month, for the maximum monthly profit.
A company owns two flour mills, A and B, which have different production capacities for high, medium and low grade flour. This company has entered into a contract to supply flour to a firm every week with 12, 8 and 24 quintals of high, medium and low grade respectively. It costs the company Rs.1000 and Rs.800 per day to run mill A and B respectively. On a day, mill A produces 6, 2 and 4 quintals of high, medium and low grade flour respectively; mill B produces 2, 2 and 12 quintals of high, medium and low grade flour respectively. How many days per week should each mill be operated in order to meet the contract order most economically? Solve using graphical method.
A company operates 16 oil wells in a designated area. Each pump, on aver- age, extracts 240 barrels of oil daily.

The Ace Manufacturing Company has orders for three similar products. Orders (units) 2,200 Product A B C с 1 2 Machine 3 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 percentages 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 shown below. A A B B C с Product 1 2 3 300 1,400 Capacity (units) 1,800 1,700 800 1 Machine 2 3 $1.00 $1.30 $1.10 $1.20 $1.40 $1.00 $0.90 $1.20 $1.20
