A certain bookstore chain has two stores, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles. It stocks three kinds of books: hardcover

, softcover, and plastic (for infants). At the beginning of January, the central computer showed the following books in stock.
Hard Soft Plastic
San Francisco 1,000 3,000 6,000
Los Angeles 1,000 6,000 3,000
Its sales in January were as follows: 600 hardcover books, 1,300 softcover books, and 2,000 plastic books sold in San Francisco, and 400 hardcover, 300 softcover, and 400 plastic books sold in Los Angeles. The bookstore chain actually maintained the same sales figures for the first 6 months of the year. Each month, the chain restocked the stores from its warehouse by shipping 500 hardcover, 1,400 softcover, and 1,400 plastic books to San Francisco and 500 hardcover, 500 softcover, and 500 plastic books to Los Angeles.

(a) Use matrix operations to determine the total sales over the 6 months, broken down by store and type of book.

Los Angeles

(b) Use matrix operations to determine the inventory in each store at the end of June.

Answer:

<h2>See the explanation.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&600&1300&2000\\L&400&300&400\end{array}\right] = A.

In the above matrix A, the columns refers the three type of books and the rows refers the from which stores the books are been sold.

The numbers represents the corresponding sales in the month of January.

The sale is same for the 6 months.

Hence, 6A = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&3600&7800&12000\\L&2400&1800&2400\end{array}\right]. This matrix 6A represents the total sales over the 6 months.

(b)

If we denote the books in stock at the starting of January by B, then

B = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&1000&3000&6000\\L&1000&6000&3000\end{array}\right].

Each month, the chain restocked the stores from its warehouse by shipping 500 hardcover, 1,400 softcover, and 1,400 plastic books to San Francisco and 500 hardcover, 500 softcover, and 500 plastic books to Los Angeles.

If we represent the amount restocked books at the end of each month by another matrix C, then

C = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&500&1400&1400\\L&500&500&500\end{array}\right].

This restocking will be done for 5 times before the end of June.

If there would be no sale, then the stock would be

B + 5C = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&1000+2500&3000+7000&6000+7000\\L&1000+2500&6000+2500&3000+2500\end{array}\right] \\= \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&3500&10000&13000\\L&3500&8500&5500\end{array}\right].

Since, the total sale is given by 6A, at the end of June, the inventory in each store can be shown as following,

B+5C-6A \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&3500&10000&13000\\L&3500&8500&5500\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&3600&7800&12000\\L&2400&1800&2400\end{array}\right] \\= \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&-100&2200&1000\\L&1100&6700&3100\end{array}\right]
