The South fork Feed Company makes a feed mix from four ingredients oats, corn, soybeans, and a vitamin supplement. The company has 300 pounds of oats, 400 pounds of corn, 200 pounds of soybeans, and 100 pounds of vitamin supplement available for the mix. The company has the following requirements for the mix:
- At least 30% of the mix must be soybeans.
- At least 20% of the mix must be the vitamin supplement.
- The ratio of corn to oats cannot exceed 2 to 1.
- The amount of oats cannot exceed the amount of soybeans.
- The mix must be at least 500 pounds.
A pound of oats costs $0.50; a pound of corn, $1.20; a pound of soybeans, $0.60; and a pound of vitamin supplement, $2.00. The feed company wants to know the number of pounds of each ingredient to put in the mix in order to minimize cost.

- It costs a pharmaceutical company 75,000 to produce a 1000-pound batch of a drug. The average yield from a batch is unknown but the best case is 90% yield (that is, 900 pounds of good drug will be produced), the most likely case is 85% yield, and the worst case is 70% yield. The annual demand for the drug is unknown, with the best case being 20,000 pounds, the most likely case 17,500 pounds, and the worst case 10,000 pounds. The drug sells for 125 per pound and leftover amounts of the drug can be sold for 30 per pound. To maximize annual expected profit, how many batches of the drug should the company produce? You can assume that it will produce the batches only once, before demand for the drug is known.A Las Vegas, Nevada, manufacturer has the option to make or buy one of its component parts. The annual requirement is 20,000 units. A supplier is able to supply the parts for $10 per piece. The firm estimates that it costs $600 to prepare the contract with the supplier. To make the parts in-house, the firm must invest $50,000 in capital equipment, and the firm estimates that it costs $8 per piece to make the parts in-house. Assuming that cost is the only criterion, use breakeven analysis to determine whether the firm should make or buy the item. 1. What is the breakeven quantity? 2. Should the manufacturer Make or Buy? 3. What is the cost savings using your decision in number 2 (above)? Show the total cost for each scenario then the savings amount.Thomas has eight horses averaging 1,400 pounds. They are on 20 acres of orchard grass and clover. Each year, Thomas applied 30-30-30 units of fertilizer per acre using 46-0-0 urea at $408 per ton, 18-46-0 DAP at $496 per ton, and 0-0-60 muriate of potash at $506 per ton. He reseeded with 10 pounds per acre of orchard grass at $1.19 per pound and 2 pounds per acre of clover at $3.18 per pound. The horses are housed in a barn 34 feet wide with stalls 12 by 12 feet on each side and a 10-foot aisle down the center. He needs at least one fifth of the barn, not including the center, for hay and tack room. What did it cost to fertilize and reseed the pasture? How long must he barn be in even number of feet?
- As part of a quality improvement initiative, Consolidated Electronics employees complete a three-day training program on teaming and a two-day training program on problem-solving. The manager of quality improvement has requested that at least 8 training programs on teaming and at least 10 training programs on problem-solving should be offered during the next six months. In addition, senior-level management has specified that at least 25 training programs must be offered during this period. Consolidated Electronics uses a consultant to teach the training programs. During the next quarter, the consultant has 84 days of training time available. Each training program on teaming costs P10,000 and each training program on problem-solving costs P8,000.

Model A has an accuracy of plus or minus 1 mile per hour, whereas the smaller model B has an accuracy of plus or minus 3 miles per hour. For the next week, the company has orders for 100 units of model A and 150 units of model B. Although DCI purchases all the electronic components used in both models, the plastic cases for both models are manufactured at a DCI plant in Newark, New Jersey. Each model A case requires 4 minutes of injection-molding time and 6 minutes of assembly time. Each model B case requires 3 minutes of injection-molding time and 8 minutes of assembly time. For next week, the Newark plant has 600 minutes of injection-molding time avallable and 1,080 minutes of assembly time availab The manufacturing cost is $10 per case for model A and $6 per case for model B. Depending upon demand and the time avalable at the Newark plant, DCI occasionally…As part of a quality improvement initiative, Consolidated Electronics employees complete a three-day training program on teaming and a two-day training program on problem-solving.

- (a) Determine the amount of potatoes and green beans Maria should purchase each week for the casserole to minimize the ingredient costs while meeting nutritional, taste, and demand requirements. Before she makes her final decision, Maria plans to explore the following questions independently except where otherwise indicated. (b) Maria is not very concerned about the taste of the casserole; she is only concerned about meeting nutritional requirements and cutting costs. She therefore forces Edson to change the recipe to allow for only at least a one to two ratio in the weight of potatoes to green beans. Given the new recipe, determine the amount of potatoes and green beans Maria should purchase each week. (c) Maria decides to lower the iron requirement to 65 mg since she determines that the other ingredients, such as the onions and cream of mushroom soup, also provide iron. Determine the amount of potatoes and green beans Maria should purchase each week given this new iron…Sapphire Farm is a business that trains and boards horses and educates young riders about horse care, nutrition, a product focusand riding. The farm provides both a learning and a fun environment for young equestrians and their families. It also hosts horse shows for beginning riders to help them build confidence in the show ring and to prepare them for local horse shows by running shows in accordance with the rules and regulations of the National Hunter Jumper Association. Feedback from the horseshow judges are provided to all riders so they can do better at their next meet. In addition, all warm-up and training areas are fenced and monitored by adults for the children's safety.According to the service-profit chain, the high-value service offered by Sapphire Farm LLC should lead to: A. congruent market response B. positive framing C. customer autonomy D. customer satisfaction E. a product focusThree methods can be used for producing heat sensors for high-temperature furnaces. Method A will have a fixed cost of $140,000 per year and a production cost of $62 per part. Method B will have a fixed cost of $210,000 per year and a production cost of $28 per part. Method C will require the purchase of equipment costing $500,000. It will have a life of five years and a 25% of first cost salvage value. The production cost will be $53 per part. At an interest rate of 10% per year, determine the breakeven annual production rate between the two lowest cost methods.
