Suppose a certain manufacturing company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same product

ion line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $2,100, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,500. Manufacturing costs are $13 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $16 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 5,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,000 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let
x4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week
x6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week
s4 = 1 if the production line is set up to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods; 0 if otherwise
s6 = 1 if the production line is set up to produce the 6-cylinder connecting rods; 0 if otherwise

Required:
Using the decision variables x4 and s4, write a constraint that sets next week.

Answer:

Generally the constraint that sets next week are shown below

Generally the constrain that sets next week maximum production of connecting rod for 4 cylinder  to  W_4 or  0 is  

     x_4 \le W_4 *  s_4

    x_4 \le 5000 *  s_4

Generally the constrain that sets next week maximum production of connecting rod for 6 cylinder  to  W_6 or  0  is  

     x_6 \le W_6 *  s_6

     x_6 \le 8,000 *  s_6

Generally the constrain that limits the production of connecting rods  for both 4 cylinder and 6 cylinders  is

     x_4 \le W_4 *  s_6

=>   x_4 \le 5000 *  s_6

     x_4 \le W_6 *  s_4

=>    x_4 \le 8000 *  s_4

     s_4 + s_6 = 1

The minimum cost of production for next week is  

   U  =  M_4 *  x_4 + M_6 * x_6 + C_4 * s_4 + C_6 * s_6

=>  U  =  13x_4 + 16x_6 + 2000 s_4 + 3500 s_6

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost for the four cylinder production line is  C_4 =  \$2,100

The cost for the six cylinder production line is  C_6 = \$3,500

The manufacturing cost for each four cylinder is  M_4= \$13

 The manufacturing cost for each six cylinder is M_6= \$16

  The weekly production capacity for 4 cylinder connecting rod is W_4 = 5,000

   The weekly production capacity for 6 cylinder connecting rod is W_6 = 8,000

Generally the constraint that sets next week are shown below

Generally the constrain that sets next week maximum production of connecting rod for 4 cylinder  to  W_4 or  0 is  

     x_4 \le W_4 *  s_4

    x_4 \le 5000 *  s_4

Generally the constrain that sets next week maximum production of connecting rod for 6 cylinder  to  W_6 or  0  is  

     x_6 \le W_6 *  s_6

     x_6 \le 8,000 *  s_6

Generally the constrain that limits the production of connecting rods  for both 4 cylinder and 6 cylinders  is

     x_4 \le W_4 *  s_6

=>   x_4 \le 5000 *  s_6

     x_4 \le W_6 *  s_4

=>    x_4 \le 8000 *  s_4

     s_4 + s_6 = 1

The minimum cost of production for next week is  

   U  =  M_4 *  x_4 + M_6 * x_6 + C_4 * s_4 + C_6 * s_6

=>  U  =  13x_4 + 16x_6 + 2000 s_4 + 3500 s_6

We can see here that there are 2 triangular bases on the prism.

To calculate the area of a triangle, we multiply the base and the height and then divide by 2.

A = 8 x 6 /2

A = 48/2

A = 24

Hope it helps!
