A farmer owns a 100 acre farm and plans to plant at most three crops. The seed for crops A,B, and C costs $40, $20, and $30 per

acre, respectively. A maximum of $3200 can be spent on seed. Crops A,B, and C require 1,2, and 1 workdays per acre, respectively, and there are maximum of 160 workdays available. If the farmer can make a profit of $100 per acre on crop A, $300 per acre on crop B, and $200 per acre on crop C, how many acres of each crop should be planted to maximize profit

Answer:

The number of acre per crop for maximum profit is;

Crop A = 0 acres

Crop B = 60 acres

Crop C = 40 acres

Profit, P = $26,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We plant A in X acres

B in Y acres and

C in Z acres

Therefore, X + Y + Z ≤ 100

we work A for 1·X workdays

B for 2·Y workdays and

C for 1·Z workdays

Where X + 2·Y + Z ≤ 160

$40·X for crop A

$20·Y for crop B and

$30·Z for crop C is spent whereby

$40·X + $20·Y + $30·Z ≤ $3200

The farmer makes

$100·X from crop A

$300·Y from crop B and

$200·Z from crop C

P = $100·X + $300·Y + $200·Z

Therefore, we have three equations with three unknowns solving the equations simultaneously, we have

X + Y + Z = 100....................................................(1)

X + 2·Y + Z = 160.................................................(2)

$40·X + $20·Y + $30·Z = $3200....................(3)

By subtracting equation (1) from (2) gives Y = 60 acres

Multiplying equation (1) by 40 and subtracting from (3) we  have Z = -40

and therefore, Y = 80

If he plants only B the farmer has 2 work day per acre and since there is a max of 160 days, he can only plant on 80 acres, therefore, total profit = $300 × 80 = $24,000

Comparing the profit per acre to the seed cost we have Profit for seed A = $100 while cost = $40 per acre,

If we remove seed A we have

Y + Z = 100....................................................(4)

2·Y + Z = 160.................................................(5)

$40·X + $20·Y + $30·Z = $3200....................(3)

Solving equation (4) and (5), we have Y = 60 acres and Z = 40 acres

Therefore, the profit becomes

$300 × 60 + $200 × 40 = $26,000.

larisa [96]

Well, split it into 3 shapes

21 x 10 = 210

3 x 6 = 18

2 x 6 = 12

210 + 18 + 12 = 240 square cm

imahe for more context

Complete Question

A milling process has an upper specification of 1.68 millimeters and a lower specification of 1.52 millimeters. A sample of parts had a mean of 1.6 millimeters with a standard deviation of 0.03 millimeters. what standard deviation will be needed to achieve a process capability index f 2.0?

Answer:

The value required is  \sigma =  0.0133

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The upper specification is  USL  =  1.68 \ mm

    The lower specification is  LSL  = 1.52  \  mm

     The sample mean is  \mu =  1.6 \  mm

     The standard deviation is  \sigma =  0.03 \ mm

Generally the capability index in mathematically represented as

             Cpk  =  min[ \frac{USL -  \mu }{ 3 *  \sigma }  ,  \frac{\mu - LSL }{ 3 *  \sigma } ]

Now what min means is that the value of  CPk is the minimum between the value is the bracket

          substituting value given in the question

           Cpk  =  min[ \frac{1.68 -  1.6 }{ 3 *  0.03 }  ,  \frac{1.60 -  1.52 }{ 3 *  0.03} ]

=>      Cpk  =  min[ 0.88 , 0.88  ]

So

         Cpk  = 0.88

Now from the question we are asked to evaluated the value of  standard deviation that will produce a  capability index of 2

Now let assuming that

         \frac{\mu - LSL  }{ 3 *  \sigma } =  2

So

         \frac{ 1.60 -  1.52  }{ 3 *  \sigma } =  2

=>    0.08 = 6 \sigma

=>     \sigma =  0.0133

So

        \frac{ 1.68  - 1.60 }{ 3 *  0.0133 }

=>      2

Hence

      Cpk  =  min[ 2, 2 ]

So

    Cpk  = 2

So    \sigma =  0.0133 is  the value of standard deviation required
