Their impact on the whole industry has been immense.
Answer:
They should operate Mine 1 for 1 hour and Mine 2 for 3 hours to meet the contractual obligations and minimize cost.
Explanation:
The formulation of the linear programming is:
Objective function:
Restrictions:
- High-grade ore: 
- Medium-grade ore: 
- Low-grade ore: 
- No negative hours: 
We start graphing the restrictions in a M1-M2 plane.
In the figure attached, we have the feasible region, where all the restrictions are validated, and the four points of intersection of 2 restrictions.
In one of this four points lies the minimum cost.
Graphically, we can graph the cost function over this feasible region, with different cost levels. When the line cost intersects one of the four points with the lowest level of cost, this is the optimum combination.
(NOTE: it is best to start with a low guessing of the cost and going up until it reaches one point in the feasible region).
The solution is for the point (M1=1, M2=3), with a cost of C=$680.
The cost function graph is attached.
Answer:
Consumers should not buy from companies that don't source materials
Explanation:
Companies should never have an excuse for not sourcing for their materials responsively and responsibly. They owe an ethical responsibility as well as a duty to offer their customers qualitative products at the best price and that is most sustainable to the environment.In recent times, through the widespread use of social media and the instrument of investigative journalism, it has been able to bring to the surface, the less than responsible activities of many companies in sourcing for their interest of the public and the environment.The 2006 movie "Blood Diamond" shows an avid description of how diamonds are mined and traded in the war-torn country of Sierra Leonne depicting the violation of Human and Child rights and how is excessively enriched diamond suppliers and companies.It is clear that many companies despite the public outcry for transparency in revealing their supply chain in sourcing for their materials still chose unorthodox practices. It therefore, falls on the consumers to spend their money responsibly and make smart and credible choices with their finances by refusing to buy from companies that are not transparent with their source materials.Consumers are the life-wire of any business and the hope of any business survival rests majorly on consumer satisfaction. Researches have shown that companies are no being accountable with the natural resources are utilized and have been used to cause serious harm to people and the environment. Since the companies manage to evade adequate regulations and responsibilities, it falls on the consumers to ensure that their money serves them to the greatest value.
Answer:
$0.85 and three cans
Explanation:
Data given in the question
Price per can = $0.50
First can paying price = $0.95
Second can paying price = $0.80
Third can paying price = $0.60
Fourth can paying price = $0.40
So by considering the above information, the noah can buy three cans as the prices are high
So, the consumer surplus is
= First can + second can + third can
where,
First can = $0.95 - $0.50 = $0.45
Second can = $0.80 - $0.50 = $0.30
Third can = $0.60 - $0.50 = $0.10
So, the total consumer surplus is
= $0.45 + $0.30 + $0.10
= $0.85
