BADM 410  Practice Test 2   Summer 2003  Dr. Silver

 

Do the following three problems.  Use the graph paper provided for the linear programming problems.  You may use your text, notes, and a calculator.

 

The following information is for problems 1 and 2.  A bicycle manufacturer produces two different models of bicycle: the “Best” model and the “Excelsior” model. 

 

2.      Each Best model requires two hours of assembly time, one hour of calibration time, and thirty minutes of testing.  Each Excelsior model requires 2.5 hours of assembly, one hour of calibration and 45 minutes of testing.  Current capacity is 105 hours of assembly, 50 hours of calibration and 30 hours of testing per day.

 

If each Best model earns $100 profit and each Excelsior model earns $140 profit, find the optimal number of each model the manufacturer should produce and his total daily profit.

 

 

3.      Annual demand for its Best model is 3600 units.  The cost of carrying a Best model is $10 per year and the production setup cost of this model is $500.   If the manufacturer produces 20 units per day and demand during the production phase is 15 units, find the optimal production per run, the maximum stock, and the total annual inventory cost.

 

Setups per year                                                                   

Units per production run                                                      

Annual inventory costs                                                        

 

3.  Find the minimum cost solution for the following transportation problem.

     Also calculate the total cost.
