    ASSIGNMENT ONE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS FOR MANAGEMENT DECISIONS

    1. A workshop prepared two articles A and B .The time required at different stages
    and profit per unit are shown below. Formulate the LP model

    Work
    Cutting Machine Packing Profit per unit($)
    center product

    A 2 1 1 50
    B 1 2 0.5 60
    Total capacity 80 100 50

    2. A farmer use his land to produce rice and wheat .Labor required per acre and
    profit per acre given below. Formulate the LP model

    Labor per Profit per


    Community Allocated area in acres
    acre(hrs) acre($)

    Rice X 2 100
    Wheat Y 3/2 60
    Total 200 300

    3. A company produces two types of container K and L. Each product has resource
    requirements and profit contribution as follows:

    Resource K L Total resource available

    Material(Kg/unit) 1 2 10Kg
    Labor(Hr/unit) 6 6 36Hr
    Profit 4 5

    In addition, because of demand, a maximum of 4 units of container K units of be


    produced. Obtain the optimal solution using graphical method.
    4. Personal Mini Warehouses is planning to expand its successful Orlando business into Tampa.
    In doing so, the company must determine how many storage rooms of each size to build. Its
    objective and constrains follow:
    Maximize monthly earnings= 50X1 +20X2
    Subject to:
    2X1+4X2<400 (Advertising budget available)
    100X1 +50X2<8,000(Square footage required)
    X1 <60(Rental limit expected)
    X1 X2>0
    Where
    X1=Number of large spaces developed
    X2=Number of large spaces developed
    (Use both Graphical and Simplex Methods)
    5. A company produces P, Q and R from three raw materials A, B and C. One unit of P
    requires 2 units of A and 3 of B .Product Q requires 2 units of B and 5 of C. one unit of R
    requires 3 units of A, 2 units of B and 4 units of C. Company has 8 units of material A, 10
    units of material B and 15 units of material C available to it. Profit per unit of products
    P, Q and R are $3, $5 and $4 respectively.
    a. Formulate the problem mathematically
    b. How many units of each product should be produced to maximize profit?
    c. Write the DUAL problem
    6.The 3rd and final simplex tableau for the LPP is:
    Max.Z= 200x1+200x2
    St:
    2x1+x2 < 8
    x1+3x2 <9
    x1, x2 > 0

    Cj $200 $200 $0 $0

    SV X1 X2 S1 S2 Q

    $200 X1 1 0 3/5 -1/5 3

    250 X2 0 1 -1/5 2/5 2

    Zj $200 $200 $80 $40 $1,000


    Cj - Zj 0 0 -$80 -$40
    What are the solutions of the dual variables, u1, u2 and u3? What is the optimal dual cost?
    7. Consider that Harley's Sand & Gravel Pit has contracted to provide topsoil for three
    residential housing developments. Topsoil can be supplied form three different “farms"
    as follows:
    _______________________________________________________________
    Weekly Capacity
    Farm (Cubic Yards)
    A 100
    B 200
    C 200
    _________________________________________________________________

    Demand for the topsoil generated by the construction projects is:


    _____________________________________________________________
    Weekly Demand
    Project (Cubic Yards)
    1 50
    2 150
    3 300
    _______________________________________________________________

    The manager of the sand & gravel pit has estimated the cost per cubic yard to ship over each of
    the possible routes:
    _______________________________________________________________
    Costs per cubic yard to
    From Project # 1 Project #2 Project #3
    Farm A $4 $2 $8
    Farm B 5 1 9
    Farm C 7 6 3

    _______________________________________________________________

    Required
    a. Develop the initial feasible solution using NWCM and VAM & compute the total cost
    for each method this solution.
    b. Find the optimal solution
