2Please answer clearly and bold answers. The Chris Beehner Company manufactures two linesof designer yard gates, called model A and model B. Every gate requiresblending a certain amount of steel and zinc; the company has available a totalof 25,000 lb of steel and 6,000 Ib of zinc. Each model A gate requires amixture of 125 Ib of steel and 20 lb of zinc, and each yields a profit of $75.Each model B gate requires 100 Ib of steel and 30 Ib of zinc and can be sold400-350-300-for a profit of $45.250-The aim of the objective function for Chris Beehner Company should be to> 200V the objective value.150-Decision variables:X= number of Model A gates to be producedY = number of Model B gates to be produced100-Objective function:50-Z=X+Subject to:50100150200 250300350400X125X + 100YV 25,000 (C,)20X + 30YV6,000 (C2)X, Y 20On the graph on right, constraints C, and C, have been drawn.Using the point drawing tool, plot all the corner points for the feasible area.The optimum solution is:X =(round your response to two decimal places).Y =(round your response to two decimal places).Optimal solution value 'Z' = (round your response to two decimal places).

A manufacturer has been shipping his product (moderately heavy machines), mounted only on skids withoutcomplete crating. To avoid crating he must ship in freight cars which contain only his machines. To do thishe must pay freight on a car capacity load of 42 tons regardless of whether or not the car is completely full.In the past he actually has shipped only 30 tons in each car. The carload freight rate is P4.10 per hundredpounds. If the machine is crated so that they can be shipped in mixed car lots, along with other merchandise,they can be shipped at a rate of P4.20 per hundred pounds with the freight bill computed only on the actualweight shipped. The cost of crating would be P25 per machine and would increase the shipping weight from1,200 to 1,220 pounds per machine. Which procedure should be followed? (1 ton = 2,200 lbs)
5. Meg Jones, the CEO of Ajax Computer Company, and Brad Smith, its Director of Operations, had been discussing how to increase the firm’s production of the company’s flagship XR58. The XR58 was particularly important because it sold 12,500 of them in the most recent year for $950, at a gross margin of 55%. After a lot of discussion, they decided to pursue an incentive system designed to increase production by 12% in the next year. After Brad discussed this possible incentive with the production team, the team determined that it could increase production by this amount without adding any more people or equipment. They believed they could accomplish this improvement primarily through process redesign. To incent them to do the hard work of process improvement, Brad told the team that it would receive 25% of the increased profits if it met the new production goal. For this team of 20 people, this would mean an additional compensation of _________ for each team member, on average, for…
d) A company can produce three products A, B and C. the products yield a contribution of Kshs.8, 5 and 10 respectively. The products use a machine which has 400 hours capacity. Each unit of the product uses 2, 3 and 1 hour respectively of the machines capacity. There are only 150 units available in the period of a special component which is used singly in product A and C. Only 200kgs of a special alloy is available in the period. The usage of special alloy is 2kgs per unit and 4kgs per unit respectively. There is an agreement with a trade association to produce no more than 50 units of product B in the period. Advise the company on the production plan that will maximize contribution.
A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 10,237 units of component JY21 per year. Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with a lead time of 6 days. The unit purchase cost is $31.4 per unit. The cost to place and process an order from the supplier is $168 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 12.2 percent of the unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is appropriate. If the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 1,053 units per order, what is the annual holding cost? Use at least 4 decimal places.

. Sarah’s Organic Soap Company makes four kinds of organic liquid soap: “regular,”“lavender,” “citrus,” and “tea tree.” Demands for the four scents are 150, 120, 75, and50 kgs per hour, respectively. Sarah’s production process can produce any soap at therate of 450 kgs per hour, but 1.5 hours are needed to switch between scents. Duringthose switchover times, the process doesn’t produce any soap. Sarah wants to choosea production schedule that (i) cycles repeatedly through the four scents, (ii) meets therequired demand, and (iii) minimizes the amount of inventory held.How many kgs of “regular” should Sarah produce before switching over to another scent?
7. Maribel is considering installing ice cream stalls on Turtle Beach. The length of the beach is 5 miles long. On average, in a week, there are 1,000 subathers that come to the beach and each value an icecream at $5. Transportation costs are $2.5. Each icecream costs $0.5 to make and there are $40 as a fixed maintenance cost per stall. A )Find the optimal number of stalls for Maribel? B) What is the profit at optimal number of stalls?
In a large microelectronics plant, the assembly cell for circuit boards has a demand for 250 units an hour. Two feeder cells supply parts A and B to the assembly cell (one A and one B for each board). Standard containers that look like divided trays are used. A container will hold 24 As or 10 Bs. It takes 10 minutes to fill up a container with As and 24 minutes to fill up a container with Bs. Transit time to the assembly cell is 5 minutes for both A and B. No safety factor is used. Set up a kanban control system for the assembly process.
Joint Products Choi Company manufactures two skin care lotions, Smooth Skin and Silken Skin,from a joint process. The joint costs incurred are $420,000 for a standard production run that generates 180,000 pints of Smooth Skin and 120,000 pints of Silken Skin. Smooth Skin sells for $2.40 perpint, while Silken Skin sells for $3.90 per pint.Required1. Assuming that both products are sold at the split-off point, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Smooth Skin using the relative sales value method?2. If no separable costs are incurred after the split-off point, how much of the joint cost of each productionrun is allocated to Silken Skin using the physical measure method method?3. If separable processing costs beyond the split-off point are $1.40 per pint for Smooth Skin and $0.90 perpint for Silken Skin, how much of the joint cost of each production run is allocated to Silken Skin usinga net realizable value method?4. If separable processing costs beyond the…
A swim club is designing a new pool to replace its old pool. The new pool would need to last for 10 years since the club is planning on relocating after 10 years. A concrete shell would cost $85,000 and last for all 10 years. Another option is to install a vinyl liner that would cost only $70,000 to install. However, the vinyl is not guaranteed to last for all 10 years, and it has a 40% chance of breaking down. Repair of the vinyl would cost $40,000 and would extend the life of the vinyl liner to the 10-year mark. If both options are acceptable to the swim club, which one minimizes cost? Support your answer with drawing a decision tree and provide your calculation.
