The payoff table is:Weather ConditionsDecision AlternativesGoodBad$3.25$12,800$8,450$4.00$14,400$5,275The student’s decision depends on the degree ofrisk they are willing to assume.Chapter 12 includes decision criteria for thisproblem.31.This problem uses expected value for thedecision alternatives in problem 30.Expected value ($3.25) = ($12,800)(0.60) +($8,450)(0.40) = $11,060Expected value ($4.00) = ($14,400)(0.60) +($5,275)(0.40) = $10,750Although the decision to sell hotdogs for $3.25results in the greatest expected value, the resultsare so close, Annie would likely be indifferent.32.There are two possible answers, or solution points:x= 25,y= 0 orx= 0,y= 50Substituting these values in the objective function:Z= 15(25) + 10(0) = 375Z= 15(0) + 10(50) = 500Thus, the solution isx= 0 andy= 50This is a simple linear programming model, thesubject of the next several chapters. The studentshould recognize that there are only two possiblesolutions, which are the corner points of thefeasible solution space, only one of which isoptimal.

Some possiblesolutions can be logically discarded because they areobviously inferior. For example, 0 cakes and 1 loaf ofbread is clearly inferior to 0 cakes and 2 loaves ofbread. 0 cakes and 3 loaves of bread is not possiblebecause there is not enough flour for 3 loaves ofbread.Using this logic, there are four possible solutionsas shown. The best one, 4 cakes and 0 loaves ofbread, results in the highest total sales of $40.38.This problem demonstrates the cost trade-offinherent in queuing analysis, the topic of Chapter13. In this problem the cost of service, i.e., thecost of staffing registers, is added to the cost ofcustomers waiting, i.e., the cost of lost sales andill will, as shown in the following table.Registers staffed12345678Waiting time (mins)2014941.710.50.1Cost of service ($)60120180240300360420480Cost of waiting ($)850550300500000Total cost ($)910670480290300360420480The total minimum cost of $290 occurs with 4 registers staffed39.The shortest route problem is one of the topics ofChapter 7. At this point, the most logical “trial anderror” way that most students will probablyapproach this problem is to identify all the feasibleroutes and compute the total distance for each, asfollows:1-2-6-9 = 2281-2-5-9 = 2131-3-5-9 = 2111-3-8-9 = 2761-4-7-8-9 = 275Obviously inferior routes like 1-3-4-7-8-9 and1-2-5-8-9 that include additional segments to theroutes listed above can be logically eliminatedfrom consideration. As a result, the route 1-3-5-9is the shortest.An additional aspect to this problem could be tohave the students look at these routes on a realmap and indicate which they think might“practically” be the best route. In this case,1-2-5-9 would likely be a better route, becauseeven though it’s two miles farther it is Interstatehighway the whole way, whereas 1-3-5-9encompasses U.S. 4-lane highways and stateroads.

To determine the answer, equate the two costfunctions.3,000 + 12v= 10,000 + 8v4v= 7,000v= 1,750This is referred to as the point of indifference betweenthe two alternatives. In general, for demand lower than thispoint (1,750) the alternative should be selected with thelowest fixed cost; for demand greater than thispoint the alternative with the lowest variable cost shouldbe selected. (This general relationship can be observed bygraphing the two cost equations and seeing where theyintersect.)Thus, for the Ocobee River Rafting Company, thefollowing guidelines should be used:demand < 375, do not start business; 375 < demand< 1,750, select alternative 1; demand > 1,750, selectalternative 2Since Penny estimates demand will be approximately1,000 rafts, alternative 1 should be selected.Z=vp−cf−vcv= (1,000)(20)−3,000−(1,000)(12)Z= $5,000CASE SOLUTION: CONSTRUCTINGA DOWNTOWN PARKING LOTIN DRAPERa)The annual capital recovery payment for a capitalexpenditure of $4.5 million over 30 years at8% is,(4,500,000)[0.08(1 + .08)30] / (1 + .08)30−1= $399,723.45This is part of the annual fixed cost.

2-4b)12.The new objective function,Z= 300x1+600x2, is parallel to the constraint line forplatinum, which results in multiple optimalsolutions. PointsB(x1= 2,x2= 4) andC(x1= 4,x2= 3) are the alternate optimalsolutions, each with a profit of $3,000.The feasible solution space will change. Thenew constraint line, 3x1+ 4x2= 20, isparallel to the existing objective function.Thus, multiple optimal solutions will also bepresent in this scenario. The alternateoptimal solutions are atx1= 1.33,x2= 4 andx1= 2.4,x2= 3.2, each with a profit of$2,000.13.a)Optimal solution:x1= 4 necklaces,x2= 3bracelets. The maximum demand is notachieved by the amount of one bracelet.b)The solution point on the graph whichcorresponds to no bracelets being producedmust be on thex1axis wherex2= 0. This ispointDon the graph. In order for pointDtobe optimal, the objective function “slope”must change such that it is equal to or greaterthan the slope of the constraint line, 3x1+ 2x2= 18. Transforming this constraint into theformy=a+bxenables us to compute theslope:2x2= 18−3x1x2= 9−3/2x1From this equation the slope is−3/2. Thus,the slope of the objective function must be atleast−3/2. Presently, the slope of theobjective function is−3/4:400x2=Z−300x1x2=Z/400−3/4x1The profit for a necklace would have toincrease to$600to result in a slope of−3/2:400x2=Z−600x1x2=Z/400−3/2x1However, this creates a situation where bothpointsCandDare optimal, ie., multipleoptimal solutions, as are allpoints on the line segment betweenCandD.14. a)MaximizeZ= 50x1+ 40x2(profit, $) subjectto3x1+ 5x2≤150 (wool, yd2)10x1+ 4x2≤200 (labor, hr)x1,x2≥0b)15.The feasible solution space changes from thearea0ABCto0AB'C', as shown on thefollowing graph.The extreme points to evaluate are nowA,B', andC'.A:x1= 0x2= 30Z= 1,200*B':x1= 15.8x2= 20.5Z= 1,610
