The production planner for a private label soft drink maker is planning the production of two soft drinks: root beer (R) and sassafras soda (S). There are at most 12 hours per day of production time and 1,500 gallons per day of carbonated water available. A case of root beer requires 2 minutes of time and 5 gallons of water to produce, while a case of sassafras soda'requires 3 minutes of time and 5 gallons of water. Profits for the root beer are $6.00 per case, and profits for the sassafras soda are $4.00 per case. The firm's goal is to maximize profits. What is the time constraint?

Q5. An established company has decided to add a new product to its line. It will buy the product from a manufacturing concern, package it, and sell it to a number of distributors that have been selected on a geographical basis. Market research has already indicated the volume expected and the size of sales force required. The steps shown in the following table are to be planned.

Inventory Control and Planning Lehen Vinters imports a certain brand of beer. The demand, which may be assumed to be uniform, is 1,250,000 cases/year. The cost of ordering a shipment of beer is $500, and the cost of storing each case of beer for a year is $2. Determine how many cases of beer should be in each shipment if the ordering and storage costs are to be kept at a minimum. (Assume that each shipment of beer arrives just as the previous one has been sold.)
Balboa Industries’ Electronics Division is trying to reduce supply chain risk by making more responsible make/buy decisions through improved cost estimation. A high-use component (expected usage is 5000 units per year) can be purchased for $25 per unit with delivery promised within a week. Alternatively, Balboa can make the component inhouse and have it readily available at a cost of $5 per unit, if equipment costing $150,000 is purchased. Labor and other operating costs are estimated to be $35,000 per year over the study period of 5 years. Salvage is estimated at 10% offirst cost and i = 12% per year. Neglecting the element of availability (a) determine the breakeven quantity, and (b) recommend making or buying atthe expected usage level.
A drug store sells 30 bottles of antibiotics per week.Each time it orders antibiotics, there is a fixed ordering costof $10 and a cost of $10/bottle. Assume that the annualholding cost is 20% of the cost of a bottle of antibiotics, andsuppose antibiotics spoil and cannot be sold if they spendmore than one week in inventory. When the drug store placesan order, how many bottles of antibiotics should be ordered?
Q5: A manager of an inventory system believes that inventory models are important decision making aids. Even though often using an EOQ policy, the manager never considered a backorder model because of the assumption that backorders were “bad” and should be avoided. However, with upper management’s continued pressure for cost reduction, you have been asked to analyze the economics of a backorder policy for some products that can possibly be backordered. For a specific product with D = 1200 units per year, Co = 160, = 4, and = 25, what is the difference in total annual cost between the EOQ model and the planned shortage or backorder model? If the manager adds constraints that no more than 25% of the units can be backordered and that no customer will have to wait more than 18 days for an order, should the backorder inventory policy be adopted? Assume 300 working days per year.
1.Convert 21 inches of Hg (vacuum, gauge) to kPa (absolute) 2. Trays which hold 10 ounces are being processed in a continuous retort. The cook zone of the retort is 120 inches long. The belt speed is 2.1 feet per minute. If the trays are 5 inches wide and spaced 1 inch apart on the belt, what is the production rate of the system in trays per hour? What is the production rate in kg per hour? What is the exposure time of a tray in the cooking zone in minutes? 3. A differential pressure sensor is attached across the two effects in an evaporator reads 5.6 psi with the high side attached to the first effect. A separate gauge on the first effect reads 9.21 inches Hg (vacuum). What are the pressures of the first and second effects in kPa absolute?
A family wishes to buy a 2020 Toyota Camry. The two options the consider are (a) a standard automobile with and SI engine that gets 34 mpg and costs $18,000; and (b) a hybrid automobile that gets 52 mpg and costs $32,000. On average, the family drives 16,000 miles each year ad gasoline costs $1.65 per gallon. Calculate: (Show your complete solution) The amount of gasoline each vehicle would use each year. Gasoline cost savings of hybrid over standard. Time in months it would take to make up the difference in vehicle cost with fuel savings.
Bakery ABC produces two products, butter cake, and chocolate cake. The sales volume for butter cake is at least 80% of the total sales of both butter cake and chocolate cake. However, the company cannot sell more than 100 pieces of butter cakes per day. Both products use flour, of which the maximum daily availability is 240 kg. The usage rates of the flour are 2 kg for every butter cake and 4 kg for every chocolate cake. The profit per piece of butter cake and chocolate cake are RM20 and RM50 respectively. Solve this case study using the graphical method. Construct the objective function of the given case-study. Construct the constrains of the given case-study. Propose the quantity of butter cake and chocolate cakes to be produced daily in order to maximize profit using graphical method approach.

The marketing research department of a large manufacturing company has determined that the demand equations for two major items it produces are given by p = 2,000 - 5x + 8y and q = 4,000+ 9x - 7y where p is the price of item A. is the price of item B , x is the monthly demand for item A , and y is the monthly demand for item B. Find the total monthly revenue from items A and B when x = 15 and y = 5 .
