The Bradley family owns 410 acres of farmland in North Carolina on which they grow corn and tobacco. Each acre of corn costs $105 to plant, cultivate, and harvest; each acre of tobacco costs $210. The Bradleys have a budget of $52,500 for next year. The government limits the number of acres of tobacco that can be planted to 100. The profit from each acre of corn is $300; the profit from each acre of tobacco is $520. The Bradleys want to know how many acres of each crop to plant in order to maximize their profit. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.

- Seas Beginning sells clothing by mail order. An important question is when to strike a customer from the companys mailing list. At present, the company strikes a customer from its mailing list if a customer fails to order from six consecutive catalogs. The company wants to know whether striking a customer from its list after a customer fails to order from four consecutive catalogs results in a higher profit per customer. The following data are available: If a customer placed an order the last time she received a catalog, then there is a 20% chance she will order from the next catalog. If a customer last placed an order one catalog ago, there is a 16% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order two catalogs ago, there is a 12% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order three catalogs ago, there is an 8% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order four catalogs ago, there is a 4% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order five catalogs ago, there is a 2% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. It costs 2 to send a catalog, and the average profit per order is 30. Assume a customer has just placed an order. To maximize expected profit per customer, would Seas Beginning make more money canceling such a customer after six nonorders or four nonorders?A retired couple supplement their income by making fruit pies, which they sell to a local grocery store. During the month of September, they produce apple and grape pies. The apple pies are sold for $1.50 to the grocer, and the grape pies are sold for $1.20. The couple is able to sell all of the pies they produce owing to their high quality. They use fresh ingredients. Flour and sugar are purchased once each month. For the month of September, they have 1,200 cups of sugar and 2,100 cups of flour. Each apple pie requires 1½ cups of sugar and 3 cups of flour, and each grape pie requires 2 cups of sugar and 3 cups of flour. A. Determine the number of grape and the number of apple pies that will maximize revenues if the couple working together can make an apple pie in six minutes and a grape pie in three minutes. They plan to work no more than 60 hours. B. Determine the amounts of sugar, flour, and time that will be unused.A company makes three types of candy and packages them in three assortments.

- Stock in Company A sells for $89 a share and has a 3-year average annual return of $24 a share. The beta value is 1.26. Stock in Company B sells for $83 a share and has a 3-year average annual return of $18 a share. The beta value is 1.13. Derek wants to spend no more than $19,000 investing in these two stocks, but he wants to earn at least $2100 in annual revenue. Derek also wants to minimize the risk. Determine the number of shares of each stock that Derek should buy. Set up the linear programming problem. Let a represent the number of shares of stock in Company A, b represent the number of shares of stock in Company B, and z represent the total beta value. Minimize z3 1.26а + 1.13b subject to 89а + 83b s 19000 24a + 18b > 2100 a 2 0, b20. (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expressions. Do not include the $ symbol in your answers.)

The hydrangeas cost the store $15 per unit, and sell to customers for $45, but any leftovers at the end of the season are salvaged to a local landscaper for $7/unit. A competitor has advertised that it guarantees 99% of customers find the product they’re looking for in stock. The competitor’s posted price for hydrangeas is $50, and they salvage to the same local landscaper for $7/ hydrangea plant. If the competitor’s advertised service level is correct for hydrangeas and they follow an optimal stocking policy, what does it imply their cost per hydrangea is?A retired couple supplement their income by making fruit pies, which they sell to a local grocery store.

A supplier is able to supply the parts for $10 per piece. The firm estimates that it costs $600 to prepare the contract with the supplier. To make the parts in-house, the firm must invest $50,000 in capital equipment, and the firm estimates that it costs $8 per piece to make the parts in-house. Assuming that cost is the only criterion, use breakeven analysis to determine whether the firm should make or buy the item. 1. What is the breakeven quantity? 2. Should the manufacturer Make or Buy? 3. What is the cost savings using your decision in number 2 (above)? Show the total cost for each scenario then the savings amount.
