A wood products firm uses available time at the end of each week to make goods for stock. Currently, two products on the list of

times are produced for stock: a chopping board and a knife holder. Both items require three operations: cutting, gluing, and finishing. The manager of the firm has collected the following data on these products:
TIME PER UNIT (MINUTE)
Item profit/unit cutting gluing finishing
Chopping board $2 1.4 5 12
Knife holder $6 0.8 13 3

The manager has also determined that, during each week, 56 minutes are available for cutting, 650 minutes are available for gluing, and 360 minutes are available for finishing.
a. Determine the optimal quantities of the decision variables.
b. Which resources are not completely used by your solution? How much of each resource is unused (c) Set up completed LP model for above problem. (d) Based on your analysis of these quantitative data and your model, what conclusions can you reach and recommend to the manager of this company?

e) If the manager challenges your recommendations, what quantitative evidence would you present to explain and to justify these recommendations?

Answer:

Let board = X1 holder= X2

Max = 2X1+6X2

Subject to: 1.4X1+0.8X2≤56 …………… (1)

5X1+13X2≤ 650 ………………. (2)

12X1+3X2≤ 360 ………………. (3)

a) The solution at point A X1=0 X2=50

Z= 2(0) +6(50) = 300

b) Cutting: 56- 0.8(50) = 15 minutes. (40,0) (0,70) ………… (1)

Gluing: 13X50=650 650-650=0 (130,0) (0,50) …………… (2)

Finishing: 3X50=150 360-150=210 minutes. (30,0) (0,120) ………… (3)

Fiona’s Fish Emporium increased its total monthly revenue from $1,500 to $1,800 when it raised the price of tropical fish from $
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

We need first to calculate how much the quantity demanded changed

The quantity of fish demanded with a revenue of $1,500 at $5 per fish is equal to:

$1,500/$5 = 300

For a revenue of $1,800 at $9 per fish:

$1,800/$9 = 200

Now we can calculate the price elasticy of demand. Remember the formula

PED = ΔQuantity /ΔPrice

ΔQuantity = Q2 - Q1 / Q1

Where Q1 is the old quantity demanded and Q2 is the new quantity demanded

ΔQuantity = 200 - 300/300

                   = -0.33

ΔPrice = P2 - P1/P1

Where P1 is the old price and P2 is the new price

ΔPrice = 9 - 5/5 = 0.8

Now we can finally calculate the price elasticity of demand

PED = -0.33/0.8

       = -0,4125
