TWO CRUDE PETROLEUM

Two Crude Petroleum (TCP) runs a small refinery on the Texas coast. The refinery distills crude petroleum from two sources, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, into three main products: gasoline, jet fuel, and lubricants.

The two crudes differ in chemical composition and thus yield different product mixes. Each barrel of Saudi crude yields 0.3 barrel of gasoline, 0.4 barrel of jet fuel, and 0.2 barrel of lubricants. On the other hand, each barrel of Venezuelan crude yields 0.4 barrel of gasoline but only 0.2 barrel of jet fuel and 0.3 barrel of lubricants. The remaining 10% of each barrel is lost to refining.

TWO CRUDE PETROLEUM

The crudes also differ in cost and availability. TCP can purchase up to 9000 barrels per day from Saudi Arabia at $20 per barrel. Up to 6000 barrels per day of Venezuelan petroleum are also available at the lower cost of $15 per barrel because of the shorter transportation distance.

TCPs contracts with independent distributors require it to produce 2000 barrels per day of gasoline, 1500 barrels per day of jet fuel, and 500 barrels per day of lubricants. How can these requirements be fulfilled most efficiently?

PROJECT SELECTION
Star Oil Company is considering five different investment opportunities. The cash outflows and net present values (in millions of dollars) are given in table below. Star Oil has $40 million available for investment at the present time (time 0); it estimates that one year from now (time 1) $20 million will be available for investment. Star Oil may purchase any fraction of each investment. In this case, the cash outflows and NPV are adjusted accordingly. For example, if Star Oil purchases one fifth of investment 3, then a cash outflow is 1/5(5) = $1 million would be required at time 1. The one-fifth share of investment 3 would yield an NPV of 1/5(16) = $3.2 million.

Star Oil wants to maximize the NPV that can be obtained by investing in investments 1-5. Formulate an LP that will help achieve this goal. Assume that any funds left over at time 0 cannot be used at time 1

BLENDING PROBLEM
Sunco Oil (SO) manufactures three types of gasoline (gas 1, gas 2, and gas 3). Each type is produced by blending three types of crude oil (crude 1, crude 2, and crude 3). Sunco can purchase up to 5000 barrels of each type of crude oil daily. The three types of gasoline differ in their octane rating and sulfur content. The crude oil blended to form gas 1 must have an average octane rating of at least 10 and contain at most 1% sulfur. The crude oil blended to form gas 2 and gas 3 must have an average octane rating of at least 8 and contain at most 2% sulfur and an average octane rating of at least 6 and contain at most 1% sulfur, respectively. It costs $4 to transform one barrel of oil into one barrel of gasoline and SO refinery can produce up to 14,000 barrels of gasoline daily.

BLENDING PROBLEM

SO customers require the following amounts of each gasoline: gas 1 3000 barrels/day; gas 2 2000 barrels/day; gas 3 1000 barrels/day. Demand must be met. SO also has the option of advertising to stimulate demand for its products. Each dollar spent daily in advertising a particular type of gas increases the daily demand for that type of gas by 10 barrels. Formulate an LP that will enable Sunco to maximize daily profits

PRODUCTION PROCESS
Rylon Corp manufactures Brute and Chanelle perfumes. The raw material needed to manufacture each type of perfume can be purchased for $3/pound. Processing 1 lb of raw material requires 1 hour of laboratory time. Each pound of processed raw material yields 3 oz of Regular Brute Perfume and 4 oz of Regular Chanelle Perfume. Regular Brute can be sold for $7/oz and Regular Chanelle for $6/oz.

Rylon also has the option of further processing Regular Brute and Regular Chanelle to produce Luxury Brute, sold at $18/oz, and Luxury Chanelle, sold at $14/oz, respectively. Each ounce of Regular Brute processed further requires an additional 3 hours of laboratory time and $4 processing cost and yields 1 oz of Luxury Brute. Each ounce of Regular Chanelle processed further requires an additional 2 hours of laboratory time and $4 processing cost and yields 1 oz of Luxury Chanelle.

INVENTORY PROBLEM
Sailco Corp must determine how many sailboats should produce during each of the next four quarters. The demand during each of the next four quarters is as follows: first quarter, 40 sailboats; second quarter, 60 sailboats; third quarter, 75 sailboats; fourth quarter, 25 sailboats. Sailco must meet demands on time. The beginning of the first quarter, Sailco has an inventory of 10 sailboats. At the beginning of each quarter, Sailco must decide how many sailboats should be produced during that quarter. For simplicity, we assume that sailboats manufactured during a quarter can be used to meet demand for that quarter. During each quarter, Sailco can produce up to 40 sailboats with regular-time labor at a total cost of $400 per sailboat.
Boni Sena, 2013

INVENTORY PROBLEM

By having employees work overtime during a quarter, Sailco can produce additional sailboats with overtime labor at a total cost of $450 per sailboat. At the end of each quarter (after production has occurred and the current quarters demand has been satisfied), a carrying or holding cost of $20 per sailboat is incurred. Use linear programming to determine a production schedule to minimize the sum of production and inventory costs during the next four quarters.

In addition to investments A-E, Finco can earn interest at 8% per year by keeping uninvested cash in money market funds. Returns from investments may be immediately reinvested. For example, the positive cash flow received from investment C at time 1 may immediately be reinvested in investment B. Finco cannot borrow funds, so the cash available for investment at any time is limited to cash on hand. Formulate an LP that will maximize cash on hand at time 3.
