Assignment # 1 (OR)

The document provides instructions for an assignment with 5 problems involving operational research and optimization using graphical and simplex methods. Problem 1 involves maximizing profit for a chocolate company with constraints on available milk and choco supplies. Problem 2 involves minimizing the daily cost of a feed mix for animals with protein and fiber constraints. Problem 3 involves maximizing profits from manufacturing two toys given resource and time constraints. Problem 4 involves allocating an investment amount between two options with constraints on minimum/maximum percentages. Problem 5 involves determining an optimal product mix for a company with constraints on sales volume, raw material availability and product profits.

Assignment # 1
Instructions
 Your assignment should be well written and submitted it on time.
 There is zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism. Assignment found with copy paste material
or copied from fellows will not be accepted.

Problem 1. (Use Graphical Method) Consider a chocolate manufacturing company that produces
only two types of chocolate – A and B. Both the chocolates require Milk and Choco only. To
manufacture each unit of A and B, the following quantities are required:
 Each unit of A requires 1 unit of Milk and 3 units of Choco
 Each unit of B requires 1 unit of Milk and 2 units of Choco
The company kitchen has a total of 5 units of Milk and 12 units of Choco. On each sale, the
company makes a profit of
 Rs 6 per unit A sold
 Rs 5 per unit B sold.
Now, the company wishes to maximize its profit. How many units of A and B should it produce
respectively?
Problem 2. (Use Graphical Method) Ozark Farms uses at least 800 lb of special feed daily. The
special feed is a mixture of corn and soybean meal with the following compositions:
_____________________________________________________________________
lb per lb of feedstuff
______________________
Feedstuff Protein Fiber Cost ($/lb)
_____________________________________________________________________
Corn 0.09 0.02 0.30
Soybean meal 0.60 0.06 0.90
_____________________________________________________________________

The dietary requirements of the special feed are at least 30% protein and at most 5% fiber. The
goal is to determine the daily minimum-cost feed mix.
Problem 3. (Use Simplex Method if Possible) A toy manufacturing organization manufactures two
types of toys A and B. Both the toys are sold at Rs.25 and Rs.20 respectively. There are 2000
resource units available every day from which the toy A requires 20 units while toy B requires 12
units. Both of these toys require a production time of 5 minutes. Total working hours are 9 hours
a day. What should be the manufacturing quantity for each of the pipes to maximize the profits?
Problem 4. (Use Simplex Method if Possible) An individual wishes to invest $5000 over the next
year in two types of investment: Investment A yields 5%, and investment B yields 8%. Market
research recommends an allocation of at least 25% in A and at most 50% in B. Moreover,
investment in A should be at least half the investment in B. How should the fund be allocated to
the two investments?
Problem 5. (Use Simplex Method if Possible) A company produces two products, A and B. The
sales volume for A is at least 80% of the total sales of both A and B. However, the company cannot
sell more than 110 units of A per day. Both products use one raw material, of which the maximum
daily availability is 300 lb. The usage rates of the raw material are 2 lb per unit of A, and 4 lb per
unit of B. The profit units for A and B are $40 and $90, respectively. Determine the optimal product
mix for the company
 GOOD LUCK 
