3. (20 pts) Hilton Financial Inc. has just obtained $240,000 for investment and would like to maximize investment return. The firm’s top financial analyst recommends that all new investments be made in the automobile industry (Ford, Honda), retail industry (Target, Wal-Mart), or in government bonds. Specifically, the analyst identified five investment opportunities and projected their annual rates of return:

                                              Investment                                            Projected Rate of Return

                                              Ford                                                                    12%

                                              Honda                                                                 11%       

                                              Target                                                                8%

                                              Wal-Mart                                                              6%

                                              Government Bonds                                             5%

Management of Hilton imposed the following guidelines:

                              1. Neither industry (automobile or retail) should receive more than $140,000.

                              2. Government bonds should be at least 25% of the retail industry investments.

                              3. The investment in Ford can not be more than 65% of the total automobile industry investment.

4. The investment in Target may not exceed 70% of the investment in Wal-Mart.

        5. No more than 60% of the total funds invested in stock (automobile and retail) may be invested in the automobile industry, and no more than 55% of the funds invested in stock (automobile and retail) may be invested in the retail industry.

Formulate a linear programming model of the problem to find out how much to invest in each security.

4). Eight maintenance activities, their normal durations in weeks, and the crew sizes for the normal condition are as follows:

3. Extra crew members can be used to expedite activities BC, CE, DF, and EF at a cost given below:

If there is a penalty cost of $1,250 per week beyond the minimum maintenance time of 20 weeks, recommend the minimum cost schedule.

4. (Independent of part c) The table below, based on historical completion times, gives three estimates for each activity completion time. Determine the mean and variance of the expected project completion time and calculate the probability that the project is completed within the 20-week minimum maintenance time.

We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard.​ Explain, What impact does being positive have on our work life?

2.    (18 pts) (Media selection) The Samulson Co. has a promotional plan for its new product. Advertising alternatives include television, radio, magazine and newspaper. Audience estimates, costs, and maximum media usage are as shown.

Samulson has the promotional budget of $175,000. To ensure a balanced use of advertising media, radio advertisements must not exceed 35% of the total number of advertisements. Television should account for at least 30% of the total number of advertisements. Television and radio together may not exceed twice of the total of magazine and newspaper advertisements. In addition, the company has decided to use at least 20 ads in each media.

              Set up a linear programming model to maximize audience reached.

4. (20 pts) GA Industries manufactures handling equipment used in distribution centers. One product, called a Liftmaster, has three components: a frame with strap, a motor and two supports. The most recent order has been for 4000 Liftmasters for next month. The sales and production departments must work together to determine delivery schedules. Although the processes used in the manufacture of the three components vary, there are three areas where the production manager is concerned about the availability of resources. These three areas, their usage by the three components, and their availability are detailed in the table.

A quick look at the amounts available confirms that GA does not have the resources to fill this contract. A subcontractor, who can make an unlimited number of each of the three components, quotes the prices below.

The subcontractor requires that the minimum purchase of frame is 600. Due to their production capacity onstraint, the subcontractor can only supply up to 2500 motors.

Develop a linear programming model that would tell GA how to fill the order for 4000 Liftmasters at the minimum cost.

To prepare for the Ramadhan month, Lula supermarket must determine the how many breads that the supermarket must stock. There are three types of breads that the supermarket is considering, i.e. bread A, B and C. The cost of per unit of each bread is shown in the Table below.

Brea/ Cost (SAR/unit) A 1.5 B 0.9 C 0.5

The supermarket has allocated a budget of SAR 2,000 for the breads. The selling price of bread A, B and C is SAR 3, SAR 2.5 and SAR 1.75 per unit, respectively. From last year data, the predicted maximum demand of bread A, B and C is 400, 500 and 300 units, respectively. The supermarket has a capacity of 1,000 units of bread and the manager want to stock up completely.

[3 Marks] Formulate a linear programming model for this problem to determine the number of units of each bread to order so as to maximize profit
