Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
answer:
A) 32 units ( number of units per month per worker )
B) number of workers required = 975 / 32 ≈ 31
c) mean of the two values = 138 + 41 ) / 2 = $89.50
Explanation:
A) Determine a minimum inventory production plan ( i.e. one that allows arbitrary hiring and firing )
The number of units per month per worker = 32 units
To have a minimum/least inventory; production plan = demand by hiring or firing
of employees
<em>attached below is the table </em>
B) determine the production plan that meets demand but does not hire or fire workers during the six-month period
To determine this production plan we have to find the per month production = (Total demand - beginning inventory ) / 6
= ( 6350 - 500 ) / 6 = 975 units produced
number of workers required = 975 / 32 ≈ 31
C) Calculate The cost of subcontracting needed to beat the cheaper of the two options above
regular cost = 8 * 5 = $40
we will keep 30 workers in order to determine how much subcontracting is needed and the maximum and minimum value of each unit is kept hence the overall cost < $253900.
if subcontracting cost = $138 then total cost = $253820
If subcontracting cost = $41 then total cost = $245090.
Therefore mean of the two values = 138 + 41 ) / 2 = $89.50
D) subcontracting cost of $50 formulating a LP and solve to optimality for the constraints of this problem
Z <= (Y+1)*7680 , X + 32Y >= 5850
