Initial conditions: The furniture manufacturing company produces two types of furniture series - "London" and "Paris". The production process takes place in carpentry, varnishing and packaging workshops. In the carpentry workshop "London" is prepared for 4 hours, but the "Paris" is processed for 3 hours, in the varnishing workshop "London" is processed for one and a half hours, but the "Paris" is processed for 3 hours, and at the packaging workshop one "London" is packed in 20 minutes, "Paris" is packed in 40 minutes. 480 hours are available in carpentry, 300 hours in a varnishing workshop and 100 hours in a packing workshop. The company can make a profit of € 45 for one "London" and € 43 for one "Paris". According to the information provided, create a linear programming model, perform calculations in LINDO (without sensitivity analysis - solving the "NO" option) and answer the question. Note: If You use hours in the model: 20 min=0.333333 hours. Alternative: use minutes in the model. Question: (Change the original model and calculate): How much will the company's profit be if the profit from the "Paris" is € 34 (optimal plan)? You must enter an integer ((integer) 0,1,2,3..), if the answer is 5 , then: 5 Format: x

The Pinewood Furniture Company produces chairs and tables from two resources - labor and wood. The company has 80 hours of labor and 36 board-ft. of wood available each day. Demand for chairs is limited to 6 per day. Each chair requires 8 hours of labor and 2 board-ft. of wood, whereas a table requires 10 hours of labor and 6 board-ft. of wood. The profit derived from each chair is $400 and from each table, $100. The company wants to determine the number of chairs and tables to produce each day in order to maximize profit. Solve this model by using linear programming. The total number of constraints in this problem, including non-negativity constraints is: 4 7 8 6 5 7. If tables (T) sell for $50 profit and chairs (C) sell for $30 profit, then which of the following represents the objective function? Minimize: Z = 50C + 30T Maximize: Z = 50C + 30T Maximize: Z = 30C + 50T Maximize: Z = 30T - 50C None of the above 8. Cerebro Manufacturing produces four types of structural support fittings - plugs, rails, rivets, and clips - which are machined on two CNC machining centers. The machining centers have a capacity of 250,000 minutes per year. The gross margin per unit and machining requirements are shown in the spreadsheet below. A B C D E F 1 Cerebro Manufacturing Model 2 3 Product Plugs Rails Rivets Clips Machine Capacity (mins./year) 4 Gross margin/unit $0.40 $1.20 $0.80 $1.10 5 Minutes/unit 1 2 3 1.5 6 Gross margin/minute 7 Maximum production 8 Profit Assuming that one half of the machine capacity is used for the production of plugs. What is the maximum possible production of plugs based on this capacity? 83,333.33 125,000 166,666.67 250,000 None of the above

Kelson Sporting Equipment, Inc., makes two different types of baseball gloves: a regular model and a catcher's model. The firm has 900 hours of production time available in its cutting and sewing department, 300 hours available in its finishing department, and 200 hours available in its packaging and shipping department. The production time requirements and the profit contribution per glove are given in the following table: Production Time (Hours) Model Cutting and Sewing Finishing Packaging and Shipping Profit/Glove Regular model 1/2 1/8 1 $5 Catcher's model 3/2 1/4 1/2 $7 Assuming that the company is interested in maximizing the total profit contribution, answer the following: (a) What is the linear programming model for this problem? If required, round your answers to 3 decimal places or enter your answers as a fraction. If the constant is "1" it must be entered in the box. Do not round intermediate calculation. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Let R = number of units of regular model. C = number of units of catcher's model. Max R + C s.t. R + C - Select your answer -≤≥=Item 5 Cutting and Sewing R + C - Select your answer -≤≥=Item 9 Finishing R + C - Select your answer -≤≥=Item 13 Packing and Shipping R, C - Select your answer -≤≥=Item 15 (b) Develop a spreadsheet model and find the optimal solution using Solver. How many gloves of each model should Kelson manufacture? If your answer is zero enter “0”. Regular Model = units Catcher's Model = units (c) What is the total profit contribution Kelson can earn with the given production quantities? $ (d) How many hours of production time will be scheduled in each department? If required, round your answer to one decimal place. Department Production Time (Hours) Cutting and Sewing Finishing Packing and Shipping (e) What is the slack time in each department? If your answer is zero, enter “0”. If required, round your answer to one decimal place. Department Slack Time (Hours) Cutting and Sewing Finishing Packing and Shipping
