Ruff, Inc. makes dog food out of chicken and grain. Chicken has 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat per ounce, and grain has 2 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat per ounce. A bag of dog food must contain at least 220 grams of protein and at least 180 grams of fat. If chicken costs 11¢ per ounce and grain costs 1¢ per ounce, how many ounces of each should Ruff use in each bag of dog food to minimize cost? HINT [See Example 4.] (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

Linear Programming Problem 1:
George's Woodcarving Company manufactures two types of wooden toys: soldiers and trains. A soldier sells for $27 and uses $10 worth of raw materials. Each soldier manufactured increases George's variable labor and overhead costs by $14. A train sells for $21 and uses $9 worth of raw materials. Each Train built increases George's variable labor and overhead costs by $10. The manufacture of wooden soldiers and trains requires two types of skilled labor: carpentry and finishing. A soldier requires 3 hours of carpentry labor and 2 hours of finishing labor. A train requires 4 hours of carpentry labor and 1 hour of finishing labor. Each week, George's can obtain all the needed raw material but only 240 carpentry hours and 100 finishing hours. Demand for trains is unlimited, but at most 28 soldiers are bought each week. George wishes to maximize weekly profit (revenue – costs). The company wants to find out the optimal production strategy that maximizes the weekly profit.
First solve this problem graphically or using the Solver. Have the solved graph or spreadsheet ready. For graphical approach, you need to solve for the optimal solution by solving simultaneous equations after graphing.
Then answer the quiz questions.
1. How many decision variables are in this problem?
2. How many finishing hours are available in this problem?
3. What is the unit profit of a toy soldier? $____.
4. To produce 5 toy soldiers and 5 toy trains, how many carpentry hours are required?
5. To produce 5 toy soldiers and 10 toy trains, how many finishing hours are required?
6. In the optimal solution, how many toy soldiers are produced?
7. In the optimal solution, how many toy trains are produced?
8. What is the maximum total profit?
9. In the optimal solution, how many hours of carpentry labor in total are used?
10. In the optimal solution, how many hours of finishing labor in total are unused?

1. Inventory Management
Williams & Sons last year reported sales of $145 million, cost of goods sold (COGS) of $120 and an inventory turnover ratio of 5. The company is now adopting a new inventory system. If the new system is able to reduce the firm's inventory level and increase the firm's inventory turnover ratio to 8 while maintaining the same level of sales and COGS, how much cash will be freed up? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
ANSWER: $
2. Receivables Investment
Medwig Corporation has a DSO of 37 days. The company averages $4,250 in sales each day (all customers take credit). What is the company's average accounts receivable? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

4. Cost of Trade Credit
A large retailer obtains merchandise under the credit terms of 3/20, net 30, but routinely takes 65 days to pay its bills. (Because the retailer is an important customer, suppliers allow the firm to stretch its credit terms.) What is the retailer's effective cost of trade credit? Assume 365 days in year for your calculations. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
ANSWER: (percentage)
5. Accounts Payable
A chain of appliance stores, APP Corporation, purchases inventory with a net price of $250,000 each day. The company purchases the inventory under the credit terms of 2/15, net 40. APP always takes the discount, but takes the full 15 days to pay its bills. What is the average accounts payable for APP? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Consider a rocket that burns steadily. The higher pressure in the combustion chamber, the faster the propellant burns. Why is this? The relationship is such that the higher the pressure, the closer the gaseous flame is to the surface and the more effectively it can transfer heat back to the surface thereby gasifying the propellant quicker. The rate of gas generation, ?_? , can be described by the equation: ?_?=?_1 ?^?, where P is the pressure, and C1 and n are the constants for a given propellant with given exposed surface area.
The hot gas leaving the rocket must pass through the throat of the
exhaust nozzle at sonic velocity.
▪The higher the pressure, the greater the density of this gas and the greater the rate of mass flow at sonic velocity. (The speed of sound in a gas is independent of pressure.) Accordingly, the rate of gas escape, ??r_e , is described by the equation: ??=?2?r_e=C_2 P where C2 is a constant, dependent on cross section area of the nozzle throat and on the velocity of sound in the combustion products.
▪What is the steady operating pressure of a solid-propellant rocket for the given values of the constants C1 , C2, and n? What values of n keep it stable?

Give an example of proof by construction.
For example, prove that for every well-formed formula f in
propositional logic, an equivalent WFF exists in disjunctive normal
form (DNF).
HINT: Every WFF is equivalent to a truth function, and we can
construct an equivalent WFF in full DNF for every truth function.
