2 Problem 1. Optimal Product Mix
Management is considering devoting some excess capacity to one or more of three products. The hours required from each resource for each unit of product, the available capacity (hours per week) of the three resources, as well as the profit of each unit of product are given below. Sales department indicates that the sales potentials for products 1 and 2 exceeds maximum production rate, but the sales potential for product 3 is 20 units per week. Formulate the problem and solve it using excel

Both models require fabrication and assembly work: each H uses four hours fabrication and two hours of assembly, and each W uses two hours fabrication and six hours of assembly. There are 600 fabrication hours this week and 450 hours of assembly. Each H contributes $40 to profit, and each W contributes $30 to profit. Formulate the problem as a Linear Programming problem. Solve it using excel. What are the final values? What is the optimal value of the objective function?

The deluxe mix has 2/3 pound raisins and 1/3 pounds peanuts, and the standard mix has 1/2 pound raisins and 1/2 pounds peanuts per bag. The shop has 90 pounds of raisins and 60 pounds of peanuts to work with. Peanuts cost $0.60 per pounds and raisins cost $1.50 per pound.

10 Problem 5 Formulate the problem as a Linear Programming problem.
The Apex Television Company has to decide on the number of 27” and 20” sets to be produced at one of its factories. Market research indicates that at most 40 of the 27” sets and 10 of the 20” sets can be sold per month. The maximum number of work-hours available is 500 per month. A 27” set requires 20 work-hours and a 20” set requires 10 work-hours. Each 27” set sold produces a profit of $120 and each 20” set produces a profit of $80. A wholesaler has agreed to purchase all the television sets produced if the numbers do not exceed the maximum indicated by the market research. Formulate the problem as a Linear Programming problem. Solve it using excel. What are the final values? What is the optimal value of the objective function?
