Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 3.8, Problem 13P
Explanation of Solution
Optimal solution maximizing profit
- In this case, the owner of Sunco feels that the LP optimal solution does not maximize the daily profit as it does not utilize the full capacity of the refinery.
- The LP optimal solution does not utilize the full capacity of the plant and still maximizes profit because the market demand is less than the plant capacity.
- Hence, even if the refinery produces extra, those goods will just be surplus and will occupy space in the warehouses and not be sold in the market...

Mattel is developing a new Madonna doll. Managershave made the following assumptions.It is equally likely that the doll will sell for two, four,six, eight, or ten years.At the beginning of year 1, the potential market for thedoll is 1 million. The potential market grows by an averageof 5% per year. They are 95% sure that the growth inthe potential market during any year will be between 3%and 7%.They believe their share of the potential market duringyear 1 will be at worst 20%, most likely 40%, and at best50%. All values between 20% and 50% are possible.The variable cost of producing a doll during year 1 isequally likely to be $4 or $6.The sales price of the doll during year 1 will be $10.Each year, the sales price and variable cost of producingthe doll will increase by 5%.The fixed cost of developing the doll (incurred in year0) is equally likely to be $4, $8, or $12 million.At time 0, there is one competitor in the market. Duringeach year that begins with four or fewer competitors,…
Imagine you are the leader of an international gang of smugglers. One of your gang member
(John) has a very expensive diamond that he wants to deliver it to you through a series of
middlemen. Each middleman will charge some amount to deliver the diamond to the next
middleman. You want to get the diamond at a minimum cost. So you decide to tell John how
exactly to deliver the diamond to you as shown in the table below.
Since you are an underworld boss who has studied Data Structures and Algorithms, you decide
to solve how the diamond will be delivered to you by modeling the problem as a graph and
then applying an algorithm to it. Tell me the following
Create a graph for this problem. (1)
What algorithm will apply on it? Where will you start it from? (1)

- 3. A company is considering opening warehouses in four cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta. Each warehouse can ship 100 units per week. The weekly fixed cost of keeping each warehouse open is $400 for New York, $500 for Los Angeles, $300 for Chicago, and $150 for Atlanta. Region 1 of the country requires 80 units per week, region 2 requires 70 units per week, and region 3 requires 40 units per week. The costs (including production and shipping costs) of sending one unit from a plant to a region are shown in Table 3. We want to meet weekly demands at minimum cost, subject to the preceding information and the following restrictions: 1. If the New York warehouse is opened, then the Los Angeles warehouse must be opened. 2. At most two warehouses can be opened. 3. Either the Atlanta or the Los Angeles warehouse must be opened.
