A company is developing its weekly production plan. The company produces two products, A and B, which are processed in two depar

tments. Setting up each batch of A requires $60 of labor while setting up a batch of B costs $80. Each unit of A generates a profit of $17 while a unit of B earns a profit of $21. The company can sell all the units it produces. The data for the problem are summarized below.
Hours required by
Operation A B Hours
Cutting 3 4 48
Welding 2 1 36
The decision variables are defined as:
xi = the amount of product i produced
yi = 1 if xi > 0 and 0 if xi = 0
A spreadsheet implementation of the problem is shown below.

a. Maximize: 17x1 + 21x2 - 60y1 - 80y2
b. Minimize: 60y1 + 80y2
c. Minimize: 17x1 + 21x2 - 60y1 - 80y2
d. d. Maximize: 17x1 + 21x2
Q2. What is the appropriate formula to use in cell E8 of the Excel implementation of the ILP model for this problem?

Answer:

The responses to this question can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

In question 1, the objective function to solve the given problem is: \text{Maximize:}  17x_1 + 21x_2 - 60y_1 - 80y_2

In question 2, "=\text{SUMPRODUCT}(B5:C5,B7:C7) - \text{SUMPRODUCT}(B8:C8,B14:C14) "

is the appropriate choice for the formula, which is using in cell E8, and it is also used in the ILP model.

In question 3, the choice "x_1 < 16y_1" is used in the algebraic constraint for creating the link between setting up to produce A's and making some A's.

Answer: d. A company paid for an insurance premium of $6,000 on January 1. The insurance is for a year. Failing to make adjustments for the month of January would overstate assets and stockholder's equity by $6,000.

Explanation:

If a company were to pay $6,000 for Insurance for the YEAR in January, this would be recorded as a PREPAID EXPENSE.

This Prepaid Expense will then be apportioned per month over the year to each month as expenses of $500.

Failing to make adjustments for the month of January would not overstate assets and stockholder's equity by $6,000 but by $500.

Answer:

He will be less likely to spend on scones.

Explanation:

Understanding the spending pattern requires to understand the factors involving in purchasing.

  1. Income: Some people live tightly, and for that they have to cut down their expenditures and that affects their spending. Jose will not have much issues although buying scones because they will not be expensive, so this relationship is negative.
  2. Substitution: This will probably affect the the spending of Jones on scones because he used to buy both together, and if he stops spending on coffee he will not buy scones as well.
