The Electrocomp Corporation manufactures two electrical products: air

conditioners and large fans. The assembly process for each is similar in that
both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 3
hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. Each fan must go through 2 hours of
wiring and 1 hour of drilling. During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time are
available and up to 140 hours of drilling time maybe used. Each air conditioner sold yields a
profit of $25. Each fan assembled may be sold for a $15 profit. Formulate and solve this LP
production mix situation to find the best combination of air conditioners and fans that yields
the highest profit. Use the corner point graphical approach.

Electrocomps management realizes that it forgot to include two critical constraints (see Problem
7-14). In particular, management decides that to ensure an adequate supply of air conditioners for
a contract, at least 20 air conditioners should be manufactured. Because Electrocomp incurred an
oversupply of fans in the preceding period, management also insists that no more than 80 fans be
produced during this production period. Resolve this product mix problem to find the new
optimal solution.

A candidate for mayor in a small town has allocated $40,000 for last-minute advertising in the
days preceding the election. Two types of ads will be used: radio and television. Each radio ad
costs $200 and reaches an estimated 3,000 people. Each television ad costs $500 and reaches an
estimated 7,000 people. In planning the advertising campaign, the campaign manager would like
to reach as many people as possible, but she has stipulated that at least 10 ads of each type must
be used. Also, the number of radio ads must be at least as great as the number of television ads.
How many ads of each type should be used? How many people will this reach?

The Outdoor Furniture Corporation manufactures two products, benches and picnic tables, for
use in yards and parks. The firm has two main resources: its carpenters (labor force) and a supply
of redwood for use in the furniture. During the next production cycle, 1,200 hours of labor are
available under a union agreement. The firm also has a stock of 3500 feet of good-quality
redwood. Each bench that Outdoor Furniture produces requires 4 labor hours and 10 feet of
redwood; each picnic table takes 6 labor hours and 35 feet of redwood. Completed benches will
yield a profit of $9 each, and tables will result in a profit of $20 each. How many benches and
tables should Outdoor Furniture produce to obtain the largest possible profit? Use the graphical

The dean of the Western College of Business must plan the schools course offerings for the fall
semester. Student demands make it necessary to offer at least 30 undergraduate and 20 graduate
courses in the term. Faculty contracts also dictate that at least 60 courses be offered in total. Each
undergraduate course taught costs the college an average of $2,500 in faculty wages, and each
graduate course costs $3,000. How many undergraduate and graduate courses should be taught in
the fall so that total faculty salaries are kept to a minimum?

MSA Computer Corporation manufactures two models of minicomputers, 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 months 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
minicomputer to produce during the coming month.

A winner of the Texas Lotto has decided to invest $50,000 per year in the stock market. Under
consideration are stocks for a petrochemical firm and a public utility. Although a long-range goal
is to get the highest possible return, some consideration is given to the risk involved with the
stocks. A risk index on a scale of 110 (with 10 being the most risky) is assigned to each of the
two stocks. The total risk of the portfolio is found by multiplying the risk of each stock by the
dollars invested in that stock. The following table provides a summary of the return and risk:

The investor would like to maximize the return on the investment, but the average risk index of
the investment should not be higher than 6. How much should be invested in each stock? What is
the average risk for this investment? What is the estimated return for this investment?

The total risk is 300,000 (9 x $20,000 + 4 x $30,000), which yields an average risk of 6
(300,000/50,000 = 6).

Referring to the Texas Lotto situation in Problem 7-20, suppose the investor has changed his
attitude about the investment and wishes to give greater emphasis to the risk of the investment.
Now the investor wishes to minimize the risk of the investment as long as a return of at least 8%
is generated. Formulate this as an LP problem and find the optimal solution. How much should
be invested in each stock? What is the average risk for this investment? What is the estimated
return for this investment?

The total return would be $4000 (.12 x 16,666.67 + .09 x 33,333.33), which just happens to
be a return of exactly 8% ($4000/$50,000).

(Investment decision problem) The Heinlein and Krarnpf Brokerage firm has just been instructed
by one of its clients to invest $250,000 for her money obtained recently through the sale of land
holdings in Ohio. The client has a good deal of trust in the investment house, but she also has her
own ideas about the distribution of the funds being invested. In particular, she requests that the
firm select whatever stocks and bonds they believe are well rated, but within the following
guidelines:
(a) Municipal bonds should constitute at least 20% of the investment.
(b) At least 40% of the funds should be placed in a combination of electronic firms, aerospace
firms, and drug manufacturers.
(c) No more than 50% of the amount invested in municipal bonds should be placed in a highrisk, high-yield nursing home stock.
Subject to these restraints, the clients goal is to maximize projected return on investments. The
analysts at Heinlein and Krampf, aware of these guidelines, prepare a list of high-quality stocks
and bonds and their corresponding rates of return.

(Animal feed mix problem) The Battery Park Stable feeds and houses the horses used to pull
tourist-filled carriages through the streets of Charlestons historic waterfront area. The stable
owner, an ex-racehorse trainer, recognizes the need to set a nutritional diet for the horses in his
care. At the same time, he would like to keep the overall daily cost of feed to a minimum.
The feed mixes available for the horses diet are an oat product, a highly enriched grain,
and a mineral product. Each of these mixes contains a certain amount of five ingredients needed
daily to keep the average horse healthy. The table below shows these minimum requirements,
units of each ingredient per pound of feed mix, and costs for the three mixes.
In addition, the stable owner is aware that an overfed horse is a sluggish worker.
Consequently, he determines that 6 pounds of feed per day are the most that any horse needs to
function properly. Formulate this problem and solve for the optimal daily mix of the three feeds.

(Media selection problem) The advertising director for Diversey Paint and Supply, a chain of
four retail stores on Chicagos North Side, is considering two media possibilities. One plan is for
a series of half- page ads in the Sunday Chicago Tribune newspaper, and the other is for
advertising time on Chicago TV. The stores are expanding their lines of do-it-yourself tools, and
the advertising director is interested in an exposure level of at least 40% within the citys
neighborhoods and 60% in northwest suburban areas.
The TV viewing time under consideration has an exposure rating per spot of 5% in city
homes and 3% in the northwest suburbs. The Sunday newspaper has corresponding exposure
rates of 4% and 3% per ad. The cost of a half-page Tribune advertisement is $925; a television
spot costs $2,000.

The first two test devices are available 120 hours per week. The third (device 3) requires more
preventive maintenance and may be used only 100 hours each week. The market for all six
computer components is vast, and Quitmeyer Electronics believes that it can sell as many units
of each product as it can manufacture. The table that follows summarizes the revenues and
material costs for each product:

Internal modem
External modem
Graphics circuit board
CD drive
Hard disk drive
Memory expansion board

In addition, variable labor costs are $15 per hour for test device 1, $12 per hour for test device 2.
and $18 per hour for test device 3. Quitmeyer Electronics wants to maximize its profits.
(a) Formulate this problem as an LP model.
(b) Solve the problem by computer. What is the best product mix?
(c) What is the value of an additional minute of time per week on test device 1? Test device 2?
Test device 3? Should Quitmeyer Electronics add more test device time? If so, on which
equipment?
Let X1 = the number of internal modems scheduled for manufacture each week
X2 = the number of external modems scheduled for manufacture each week
Etc., down to X6 = the number of mem. expansion boards scheduled for mfg. each week

(Material blending problem) Amalgamated Products has just received a contract to construct
steel body frames for automobiles that are to be produced at the new Japanese factory in
Tennessee. The Japanese auto manufacturer has strict quality control standards for all of its
component subcontractors and has informed Amalgamated that each frame must have the
following steel content:

Amalgamated mixes batches of eight different available materials to produce one ton of steel
used in the body frames. The table below details these materials. Formulate and solve the LP
model that will indicate how much of each of the eight materials should be blended into a 1-ton
load of steel so that Amalgamated meets its requirements while minimizing cost.
