The three children of a farm couple are sent to the market to sell 90 apples.

Use ILP

The three children of a farm couple are sent to the market to sell 90 apples. Karen, the oldest, carries 50 apples; Bill, the middle one, carries 30; and John, the youngest carries only 10. The parents have stipulated 5 rules: (1) The selling price is either $1 for 3 apples or $2 for 1 apple. (2) Each child may exercise one or both options of the selling price. (3) Each of the three children must return with exactly the same amount of money. (4) Each child’s income must be in whole dollars (no cents allowed). (5) The amount received by each child must be the largest possible under the stipulated conditions. Assume that the kids are able to sell all they have. Please Use ILP to show how the children can satisfy the parents’ condition.

Assume that the market for apples in the UK is in Equilibrium. The market for apples is described by the traditional demand curve and the supply curve. Since the market for applies is in Equilibrium (e1), there is an Equilibrium price P* and an Equilibrium Quantity Q*. Denote the demand curve as Dnq and the supply curve as Snq. The supply of apples is covered by a combination of domestic apple production (UK-based suppliers) and foreign apple production (non-UK-based suppliers)....

A farmer has produced 1000 apples and wants to sell them. He can sell the apples at two different markets: - At market 1, if the farmer sells x apples, he can sell them for 2/square root of x dollars each - At market 2, if the farmer sells y apples, he can sell them for 4/square root of y dollars each. Find out how the farmer should split his 1000 apples between both markets in order to maximize profit....
