Cully Furniture buys two products for resale: king beds (K) and queen beds (Q). Each king bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic

feet of storage space, and each queen bed costs $250 and requires 80 cubic feet of storage space. The company has $80,000 to invest in shelves this week, and the warehouse has 30,000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each king bed is $400 and for each queen bed is $200. 1). (10’) Please set up the LP model for the above situation.2). (20’) How many king beds (K) and how many queen bed (Q) should be purchased at optimal? 3). (10’) Whether we have slack or surplus variable applicable in this question? If we do, what is the value of slack (or/and surplus) variable? What is the meaning behind it?4). (10’) If the furniture company purchases no king beds and 300 queen beds, which resources will be completely used (at capacity)?

Answer:

1) 500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000

  100K+80Q≤ 30,000

K≥0

Q≥0

P= 400K + 200Q

2) zero king beds and 320 queen beds

or zero queen beds and 160 king beds

3) surplus variable

surplus variable is storage space

values of surplus variable is 14,000 cubic feet if zero queen beds and 160 king beds

value of surplus variable is 4,400 cubic feet if zero king beds and 320 queen beds.

surplus is the extra amount available after all resources have been utilized to theri maximum.

4) none of the resources will be completely used. There will be surplus of both

Explanation:

1) Implicit variables: K≥0 ;   Q ≥ 0

Explicit variables:

500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000-------------------------- from investment constraint

  100K+80Q≤ 30,000 ---------------------- from storage space constraint

LP:  P= 400K + 200Q

2) See the attachment for profit maximization graph

3) From graph in the attachment, it can be inferred that storage space is the surplus variable since graph of that equation lies completely outside of optimal area.

Also,

if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of investment gives

500(160) + 250(0)= 80,000

if K=0 and Q=320, the inequality of investment gives

500(0)+ 250(320) =80,000

if K=0 and Q = 320, the inequality of space gives

100(0) + 80(320)= 25,600

surplus= 30,000- 25,600= 4,400

if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of space gives

100(160) +250(0)= 16000

surplus= 30000-16000= 14000

4) K=0 and Q=300

investment inequality gives

500(0) + 250(300) ≤ 80,000

75,000≤ 80,000

space inequality gives

100(0) + 80(300) ≤ 30,000

24,000≤ 30,000

Both space and investment are in surplus

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Zero- there is a $10 Million exemption equivalent ( d )

Explanation:

Annual exemption to be ignored = $15000

$1 million  to an irrevocable trust

taxable gifts = $6 million

A) The amount of gift tax Nathan must remit in 2017 ignoring annual exemption

The gift tax must remit in 2017 is zero because there is a $10 million exemption because of the annual exception ( even if the annual exception is ignored ) and  the lifetime benefits on taxable gifts that Nathan has is approximately $11.4 million, hence he wont be remitting any amount on gift tax in 2017

If the government sets a price floor of $5 per bushel, ____ bushels of corn are produced, of which ___ are purchased by consumer
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: If the government sets a price floor of $5 per bushel, Say 1000 bushels of corn are produced, of which 300 bushels are purchased by consumers, and 700 bushels by the government. The program costs the government $3500. Farmers receive $5000 in total revenue.

Explanation: A price floor is a legitimate minimum value that the government sets on a product in the market, usually to protect the suppliers/farmers. Using the ballpark values as in the answer, to estimate and explain the concept of a price floor:  

Say total quantity produced is 1000 bushels of corn from which the Market demands 300 bushels. Given that the government has set a price floor at $5 per bushel; then the Government has to buy the surplus bushels of corn in the market from the farmers.  

Surplus bushels = Quantity produced – Quantity purchased  

1000 bushels – 300 bushels = 700 surplus bushels of corn to be purchased at $5 each by the government

Therefore: It would cost the government (700 bushels x $5 =) $3,500 to mop up the surplus in the market and pay the farmers. The 300 bushels purchased by consumers would yield (300 x $5 =) $1,500 in earnings for the farmers. Total earning by the farmers = $3500 (from the government) and $1500 from consumers) = $5000.

I hope this helps to understand the concept of price floors.
