University magazine agency wants to determine the best combination of two possible magazines to print for the month of May. Star which the University has published in the past with great success is the first choice under consideration. Prime is a new venture and is a promising magazine. The university envisages that by positioning it near Star, it will pick up some spillover demand from the regular readers. The University also hopes that the advertising campaign will bring in a new type of reader from a potentially very lucrative market. The publishing department wants to print at most 500 copies of Star and 300 copies of Prime. The cover price for Star is $3.50, the university is pricing Prime for $4.50 because other magazines doing the same line of business command this type of higher price. The University publishing department has 25 hours of printing time available for the production run. It has 27.5 hours for the collation department, where the magazines are actually assembled. Each copy of Star magazine requires 2.5 minutes to print and 3 minutes to collate. Each Prime requires 1.8 minutes to print and 5 minutes to collate. How many of each magazine should the University print to maximize revenue? Show all the corner solutions and the value of the objective function.

Shows work please!

Hint: You are required to maximize revenue assuming that Star = X and Prime = Y. create a table, specify the LP, draw graph to show feasible region and solve for the corner points. Find the profit for each of the solutions. Also convert hours to minutes in the constraints. The problem has 4 constraints excluding the non-negative constraints.

a. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem. (15 points)

b. Represent this problem on a graph using the attached graph paper. Show the feasible region. (10 points)

c. Solve this model by using graphical analysis showing the optimal solution and the rest of the corner points as well as the profits. (25 points)

Ahmad Wazir is 34 years old, married with a three-year-old child and another on the way. He lives in a town of about 100,000 people outside Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. After graduating with a BBA in marketing and later with an MBA in Islamic Finance, he joined one of the biggest Takaful operators, Takaful Ehsan (TE) where he built a sizeable business marketing in general and family Takaful products. But with changes in the organization and having no control over client services made him realize that his prospects for growth at TE is limited. With some savings accumulated over the years to carry him through, Wazir left his position as a senior marketing manager to become an independent Takaful advisor. Instead of targeting everyone, Wazir realized that he needed to focus on specific client segments. Hence, he decided to put his limited resources behind the most viable prospects. Many of his clients acquired during his former job had been close families in his town. Several of them had been regulars at the local mosque as well as members of the community and sports club. Wazir is of the view that one of the best approaches to screen the prospects is to conduct a geo-demographic segmentation of his own as part of the targeting and segmenting process. i) What is geo-demographic segmentation and how is it different from psychographic segmentation? ii) In conducting the geo-demographic segmentation, what are among the actions that Wazir may take in order to ensure that the prospects will fit into his target segment? iii) Why do you think that Wazir has chosen this approach?
