Answer:
The internal analysis of the firm as well as the external analysis of the industry and competitive environment.
Explanation:
Environmental scanning is a management strategy that focuses on systematically acquiring informations about occasions, trends, events or patterns through surveys and analysis of these information in an organisation's external and internal environment. The informations acquired through environmental scanning is then used by the executive management in strategically planning the organisation's future and exploitation of available opportunities for the success of the organization.
Generally, the internal environmental scanning offers an organization strength and weakness while the external environmental scanning provides information about opportunities and threats while the external environmental scanning gives an overview of the opportunities in the market as well as potential threats to an organization.
A resource based view can be defined as a strategic model or framework used by a business firm to determine the various resources that to be exploited in order to achieve competitive advantage.
Hence, the resource based view (RBV) of the firm combines the internal analysis of the firm as well as the external analysis of the industry and competitive environment.
The Board of Ursinus College in Pennsylvania raised its tuition and fees 17.6 percent to $23,460 in 2000. It subsequently received 200 more applications than the year before. The president of the college surmised that "applicants had apparently concluded that if the college cost more, it must be better." Other colleges that raised tuition to match rival colleges in recent years include University of Notre Dame, Bryn Mawr College, Rice University, and the University of Richmond. They also experienced an increase in applications. In contrast, North Carolina Wesleyan College lowered their tuition and fees about 10 years ago by 22 percent and attracted fewer students. The college president concluded that "it didn't work out the way it had been hoped. People don't want cheap."
You are hired as a consultant to a President of a liberal arts college in the East. You are asked to evaluate a recommendation by the college's Admissions Director. Susan Hansen, to increase tuition and to reduce financial aid to students. Susan argues that the data from competing colleges suggest that the demand curves for colleges slope upward-the quantity demanded increases with price. Susan projects that the increase in tuition and reduction in financial aid will solve the school's financial problems. Last year, the college enrolled 400 new students who each paid an effective tuition of $15,000 (after financial aid), totaling $6,000,000. She projects that with the increased demand from charging an effective tuition of $25,000, the college will be able to enroll 600 new students (of equal or better quality), totaling $15,000,000.
Required:
Evaluate Susan's analysis and recommendation
Solution :
The demand curve : The quantity demanded for each price
[tex]$D=Q(P)$[/tex]
The prices goes up, quantity demanded will decreases.
The price goes up, quantity demanded will increase
Board of the Ursinus College in Pennsylvania raised tuition fees : $ 23,460 which is 17.6 % more to 2000.
The applicants : 200 more from previous year.
Therefore the college cost most, then it must be better.
Other rival competitions have also seen same scenarios. When cost goes down, the demand decreases.
Susan's perceptive :
Demand increases with cost increase and the demand curve slopes upwards.
Our understanding is completely different with the understanding of the college administrative officer, Susan.
Our understanding is negative slope of the demand curve other than change in price of any other parameter will lead to shift in demand curve, either in or out.
If all the tuitions fees are increased, then financial aid needs to be sponsored by the 'state'. That will effect reserves which leads to the failure of the sole purpose of aids.
Our recommendation should be to tell the board members the long term effects of the increase in the tuitions fees and no financial aid will create.

6. Job 412
Selling price per unit = $9,253
Explanation:
Estimated manufacturing overhead = $360,000
Estimated direct labor hours = 900
Predetermined overhead rate = $360,000/900 = $400 per DLH
Beginning Inventory Balances:
Raw materials $49,000
Work in process $40,000
Finished Goods $79,000
Job 412
Direct materials = $9,900
Direct labor hours = 35
Direct labor cost = $10,800
Applied overhead = $14,000 ($400 * 35)
Total cost = $34,700
Units in Job 412 = 6
Unit cost = $5,783 ($34,700/6)
Selling price = 60% markup
ASC 480-10 provides guidance on determining whether (1) certain financial instruments with both debt-like and equity-like characteristics should be accounted for outside of equity (i.e., as liabilities or, in some cases, assets) by the issuer and (2) SEC registrants should present certain redeemable equity instruments as temporary equity. Examples of contracts and transactions that may require evaluation under ASC 480-10 include:________
Answer:
. Redeemable shares.
• Redeemable noncontrolling interests.
• Forward contracts to repurchase own shares.
• Forward contracts to sell redeemable shares.
• Written put options on own stock.
• Warrants (and written call options) on redeemable equity shares.
• Warrants on shares with deemed liquidation provisions.
• Puttable warrants on own stock.
• Equity collars.
• Share-settled debt (this term is used to describe a share-settled obligation that is not in the legal form of debt but has the same economic payoff profile as debt).
• Preferred shares that are mandatorily convertible into a variable number of common shares.
• Unsettled treasury stock transactions.
• Accelerated share repurchase programs.
• Hybrid equity units.
Explanation:
ASC 480-10 is used when an issuer, in the declaration of its financial position, has to categorize some financial instruments that share the characteristics of liabilities and equities. The issuer always classifies legal-form debt as liability and this makes it not applicable under the ASC 480-10.
Under the ASC 480-10, three types of financial instruments are meant to be classified and they include;
1. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments
2. Obligations to repurchase the entity’s equity shares by transferring assets, and
3.Certain obligations to issue a variable number of equity shares

A congresswoman from a state with several semiconductor factories argues that the government should impose a tariff on semiconductors because they are a necessary input into the production of various weapons. Free trade, she contends, would make the United States overly dependent on foreign countries for the supply of semiconductors and thus, in case of war, unable to make enough weapons to defend itself. Which of the following justifications is the senator using to argue for the trade restriction on semiconductors?
a. Infant-industry argument
b. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
c. Jobs argument
d. Unfair-competition argument
e. National-security argument
Answer:
National-security argument
Explanation:
Governments may intervene in markets for any reason at all.
A tariff is simply known as a tax
that is imposed on imports. There are various reasons why trade is restricted for product or services. The different arguments for restricting trade includes:
1. jobs argument
2. national security argument
3. infant-industry argument
4. unfair-competition argument
5. protection-as-bargaining-chip argument
The national security argument state that industries or product important to national security should be protected from foreign competition and not allow to focus mainly on dependence on imports that could be scattered during wartime.
The National Security Response is said to be as good as long as we base policy on true security needs.
Assume the perpetual inventory method is used:
a. Green Company purchased merchandise inventory that cost $16,800 under terms of 2/10, n/30 and FOB shipping point.
b. Green Company paid freight cost of $680 to have the merchandise delivered.
c. Payment was made to the supplier on the inventory within 10 days.
d. All of the merchandise was sold to customers for $25,100 cash and delivered under terms FOB destination with freight cost amounting to $480.
The gross margin from these transactions of Green Company is:________
Answer:
Gross margin = $8156
Explanation:
Formula for gross margin is given by;
Gross margin = Revenue - Cost of goods sold
where,
Revenue = $25100
Cost of goods sold = (cost of Purchase × ( 1 - Discount rate)) + freight cost
Thus;
Cost of goods sold = $16800 - (16800 × 0.02)) + $480
Cost of goods sold = $16944
Thus;
Gross margin = $25100 - $16944
Gross margin = $8156
Pearl Corporation reported net income of $49,100 in 2020. Depreciation expense was $17,200. The following working capital accounts changed.
Accounts receivable $11,200 increase
Available-for-sale debt securities 16,900 increase
Inventory 7,300 increase
Nontrade note payable 14,400 decrease
Accounts payable 13,300 increase
Required:
Compute net cash provided by operating activities. (Show amounts that decrease cash flow with either a - sign e.g. -15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000).)
Answer:
Net operating cash flow $68,300
Explanation:
Operating cash flow is the amount of cash generated by a company from its main and normal business activity. This cash flow is useful to gauge the financial viability of a firm's business activity; the larger the better.
It is essentially computed as the net movement of cash inflow and outflow in respect of a business activities.
It is computed as follows:
$
Net income 49,000
Add deprecation 17,200
Less increase in receivable (11.200)
add increase in payables 13,300
Net operating cash flow 68,300
Note that only items that relate to trading which is the core business area of the Pearl Corporation are considered. Depreciation is added because it is a non-cash item initially deducted from net income.
An increase in receivable means a reduction in cash while an increase in payables implies cash savings
Net operating cash flow $68,300
A company uses a process costing system. Its Assembly Department's beginning inventory consisted of 54,800 units, 75% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. The department completed and transferred out 115,500 units this period. The ending inventory consists of 44,800 units that are 25% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. The department incurred direct labor costs of $36,000 and overhead costs of $44,000 for the period. Assuming the weighted average method, the direct labor cost per equivalent unit (rounded to the nearest cent) is:
Answer:
$0.28/EUP
Explanation:
Calculation for the direct labor cost per equivalent unit (rounded to the nearest cent) is:
First step is to calculate the Total EUP's
Completed and transferred out 115,500
Add EGIP $11,200
(44,800 * 25%)
Total EUP's $126,700
Now let calculate direct labor cost per equivalent unit using this formula
Direct labor cost per equivalent unit=Cost / Eup
Let plug in the formula
Direct labor cost per equivalent unit=($36,000/$126,700)
Direct labor cost per equivalent unit=$0.28/EUP
Therefore Assuming the weighted average method, the direct labor cost per equivalent unit (rounded to the nearest cent) is:$0.28/EUP
A bank has kept records of the checking balances of its customers and determined that the average daily balance of its customers is $300 with a standard deviation of $56. A random sample of 200 checking accounts is selected. You are interested in calculating the following probabilities below.1. Assuming that the population of the checking account balances is normally distributed, what is the probability that a randomly selected account has a balance of more than $305?2. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is above $295?3. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is below $290?4. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is between $302 and $304?
Answer:
1. P(X > 305) = $0.1038
2. P ( X > 295) = $0.8962
3. P ( X > 290) = $0.0057
4. P(302 < X < 304 ) = $0.1488
Explanation:
Solution:
Data Given:
Mean = u = $300
SD = Standard Deviation = $56
Sample Size = n = 200
uX = u = 300
SDX = [tex]\frac{SD}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{56}{\sqrt{200} }[/tex] = 3.96
1.
P(X > 305) = 1-P ([tex]\frac{X - uX}{SDX} < \frac{305 - 300}{3.96}[/tex])
P(X > 305) = 1-P (Z < 1.26)
Using Standard Normal Table, we have:
P(X > 305) = 1 - 0.8962
Probability = $0.1038
2.
P ( X > 295) = 1 - P ( [tex]\frac{X - uX }{SDX} < \frac{295 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )
P ( X > 295) = 1 - P (Z< 1.26)
Using standard normal table, we have:
P ( X > 295) = 1 - 0.1038
P ( X > 295) = $0.8962
3.
P ( X > 290) = P ( [tex]\frac{X - uX }{SDX} < \frac{290 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )
P ( X > 290) = P ( z< -2.53)
Using Standard normal table, we have:
P ( X > 290) = $0.0057
4.
P(302 < X < 304 ) = P ( [tex]\frac{302 - 300}{3.96} < \frac{X - uX}{SDX} < \frac{304 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )
P(302 < X < 304 ) = P ( 0.51 < z < 1.01)
P(302 < X < 304 ) = P (z < 1.01) - P (z < 0.51)
P(302 < X < 304 ) = 0.8438 - 0.6950
P(302 < X < 304 ) = $0.1488

Beyond grades, what else would make a student stand out to an admissions counselor?
Answer:
Extracurricular Activity
Colleges prefer students who are active in academics as well as off it. This shows diversity in the student and is a trait that the counselors would be looking for.
Extracurricular activities like after-school jobs, sports and even volunteering at NGOs weigh heavily in the assessment of a student's ability to fit in a college and if you had great grade whilst doing these activities, you will have a better chance at being admitted.

Longobardi Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the Corporation estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 35,600 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $6.76 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $906,732. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 32,000 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
Answer: $32.23 per labor-hour
Explanation:
To solve the question, we need to first calculate the estimated total manufacturing overhead which will be:
= $906,732 + ($6.76 per labor-hour × 35,600 labor-hours)
= $906732 + $240656
= $1,147,388
Predetermined overhead rate will then be:
= $1,147,388 / 35,600 labor-hours
= $32.23 per labor hour
Political systems, the systems of government in nations, differ from country to country. It is important to understand the nature of different political systems and develop an awareness of and appreciation for the significance of national differences. Political systems are assessed according to two dimensions. The first is the degree to which they emphasize _____________ as opposed to individualism. The second is the degree to which they are ___________ or ___________. These dimensions are interrelated and may share certain characteristics.
Answer:
Collectivism; democratic; totalitarian.
Explanation:
Political systems, the systems of government in nations, differ from country to country. It is important to understand the nature of different political systems and develop an awareness of and appreciation for the significance of national differences. Political systems are assessed according to two dimensions. The first is the degree to which they emphasize collectivism as opposed to individualism. The second is the degree to which they are democratic or totalitarian. These dimensions are interrelated and may share certain characteristics.
Collectivism can be defined as an economical, political or cultural system in which communities (group of people) are generally valued over individuals.
On the other hand, individualism is a sharp contrast to collectivism because it is an economical, political or cultural system in which individuals are generally valued over communities (group of people).
Also, a democratic government is a form of government of the people, by the people and for the people.
Totalitarianism can be defined as a form of centralized government that has an absolute control over the state. Thus, totalitarianism completely prohibits individual freedom, opposing ideologies, principles, political parties, and requires the people to be subservient to the state.
Simply stated, totalitarianism is an autocratic or dictatorial form of government.

A company can have too much liquidity, which may be a sign that it's holding onto cash that could be invested. In a sense, even borrowing money is another typical source of liquidity for businesses. To meet its obligations, the ability to take out loans will be a factor in its liquidity.
Explanation:
Routsong Corporation had the following sales and production for the past four years:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
Production in units 6,000 9,000 4,000 5,000
Sales in units 6,000 6,000 5,000 7,000
Selling price per unit, variable cost per unit, and total fixed cost are the same each year. There were no beginning inventories in Year 1. Which of the following statements is not correct?
A. Under variable costing, net operating income for Year 1 and Year 2 would be the same.B. Because of the changes in production levels, under variable costing the unit product cost will change each year.C. The total net operating income for all four years combined would be the same under variable and absorption costing.D. Under absorption costing, net operating income in Year 4 would be less than the net operating income in Year 2.
Answer:
B. Because of the changes in production levels, under variable costing the unit product cost will change each year
Explanation:
In variable costing, Product Cost is the total of variable manufacturing costs only. Whereas in Absorption costing, the Product cost is the total of both variable and fixed manufacturing overheads.
The following statements is not correct : Because of the changes in production levels, under variable costing the unit product cost will change each year.

The United States is said to have an absolute advantage in producing food compared with Japan. What does that mean?
It must import most of its food from Japan.
It produces food more efficiently than Japan.
It produces food at a higher cost than Japan.
It must export most of its food to Japan.
Answer:
It produces food more efficiently than Japan.
Explanation:
Given that an ABSOLUTE ADVANTAGE is when a country or company can produce the same quantity of goods more efficiently than another country or company with lesser input or produce more quantities of goods with more efficiently with the same input.
Hence, in this case, when it is said that the United States has an absolute advantage in producing food compared with Japan, it means that "It produces food more efficiently than Japan."
The correct answer would be B: It produces food more efficiently than Japan
On January 1, 2021, The Barrett Company purchased merchandise from a supplier. Payment was a noninterestbearing note requiring five annual payments of $20,000 on each December 31 beginning on December 31, 2021, and a lump-sum payment of $100,000 on December 31, 2025. A 10% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.Required:Calculate the amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021.
Answer:
Barrett Company
The amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021 is:
= $125,500.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Non-interest-bearing note annual payment = $20,000
Date of annual payments = December 31
Lump sum payment on December 31, 2025 = $100,000
Interest rate reflecting the time value of money = 10%
The amount for the note payable and corresponding merchandise on January 1, 2021 is:
PV annuity factor for 4 years at 10% = 3.170
Total PV of annual payments = $63,400 ($20,000 * 3.170)
PV of lump-sum payment = 62,100 ($100,000 * 0.621)
Total PV of payments = $125,500
After reading the article, select the statements that are correct. Choose one or more: A. Elizabeth Warren has proposed using a new inflation measure that outpaces the current one used. B. The former program trustee argues that the current inflation measure overcompensates seniors since it ignores the substitution effect. C. According to advocates for seniors, the 2020 COLA is not enough to compensate for rising healthcare costs. D. Next year, the average monthly Social Security payment will be almost $1,800. E. The cost-of-living adjustment for 2020 is more than what it was in 2019.
Answer:
A). Elizabeth Warren has proposed using a new inflation measure that outpaces the current one used.
B). The former program trustee argues that the current inflation measure overcompensates seniors since it ignores the substitution effect.
C). According to advocates for seniors, the 2020 COLA is not enough to compensate for rising healthcare costs.
Explanation:
In the context of the article titled 'Social Security checks to rise modestly amid a push to expand benefits,' the first three statements assert the appropriate claims. It correctly states the new course of action for dealing with inflation as proposed by Elizabeth Warren after Blahous and seniors' complaint about the problems associated with the present rate for adjusting inflation as it ignored the impact created by substitution. Since the present program(COLA) could not fulfill the compensation needs of the seniors, the new program has been proposed to overcome these flaws and compensate them appropriately.
Marigold Corp. took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $155,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $28,000 of goods purchased from Pelzer Corporation, FOB shipping point, and $21,800 of goods sold to Alvarez Company for $30,400, FOB destination. Both the Pelzer purchase and the Alvarez sale were in transit at year-end. What amount should Marigold report as its December 31 inventory
Answer: $204,800
Explanation:
When a good is shipped FOB shipping point, it means that the buyer assumes responsibility for the goods as soon as the goods reach the place they will be shipped from. The purchase from Pelzer should therefore be included in inventory because it has already been shipped.
A good shipped FOB Destination means that the buyer only assumes responsibility after the goods have been delivered to them. As the sale to Alvarez was still in transit, it is still the responsibility of Marigold and should be included in inventory.
Inventory is therefore:
= 155,000 + 28,000 + 21,800
= $204,800

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 7 workers, who together produced an average of 70 carts per hour. Workers receive $15 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $10 per hour while output increased by 4 carts per hour.a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Before _____ carts per worker per hourAfter ______carts per worker per hourb. Compute the multifactor productivity under each system. Use carts per dollar cost (labor plus equipment) as the measure. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)Before ______ carts/dollar costAfter _______ carts/dollar costc. Comment on the changes in productivity according to the two measures. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" signs in your response.)Labor productivity by _____%Multifactor productivity by _____ %
Answer:
Before buying the new equipment:
Number of workers = 7
Production = 70 carts per hour
Worker wage = $15 per hour
Machine cost = $40 per hour
After buying the new equipment:
Number of workers = 6
Production = 74 carts per hour
Worker wage = $15 per hour
Machine cost = $50 per hour
(a) Labor productivity
Labor productivity = Number of carts produced per hour / Number of workers
Labor productivity (Before) = 70 / 7
Labor productivity (Before) = 10 carts per worker per hour
Labor productivity (After) = 74 / 6
Labor productivity (After) = 12.33 carts per worker per hour
(b) Multifactor productivity
Multifactor productivity = Carts produced / (Labor cost + Equipment cost)
Multifactor productivity = Carts produced / [(Number of workers x Worker wage) + Equipment cost)
Multifactor productivity (Before) = 70 / [(7*$15) + $40]
Multifactor productivity (Before) = 0.48 carts/dollar cost
Multifactor productivity (After) = 74 / [(6*$15) + $50]
Multifactor productivity (After) = 0.53 carts/dollar cost
(c) Increase in productivity
Increase in productivity = [(New productivity - Old productivity) / Old productivity] * 100
Increase in labor productivity = [(12.33 - 10) / 10] * 100
Increase in labor productivity = 0.233 * 100
Increase in labor productivity = 23.30%
Increase in multifactor productivity = [(0.53 - 0.48) / 0.48] * 100
Increase in multifactor productivity = 0.104167 * 100
Increase in multifactor productivity = 10.42%

Because testing of nuclear bombs was halted internationally in 1992, the Department of Energy has developed a laser system that allows engineers to simulate (in a laboratory) conditions in a thermo-nuclear reaction. Due to soaring cost overruns, a congressional committee undertook an investigation and discovered that the estimated development cost of the project increased at an average rate of 2% per six-months over a 5-year period. If the original cost was estimated to be $3.1 billion 5 years ago, what is the expected cost today?
Answer:
The estimated development cost of the project will increase from the original cost of $3.1 billion 5 years ago to $3.7727 billion today.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Original estimated development cost = $3.1 billion
Average rate of interest = 2% per six months or 4% per year (2 * 2%)
Period of project = 5 years using 4% or 10 using 2%
Using a future value factor of 1.217 from a future value table at 4% per year for 5 years:
The expected cost today = $3.1 billion * 1.217 = $3.7727 billion
Using an online financial calculator:
Results:
FV = $3,778,882,701.98
Total Interest $678,882,701.98

Bonita Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,419,800 and retained earnings of $5,569,300 at December 31, 2020. Bonita later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $99,040 and $31,710, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.
Answer:cost of goods sold in 2020 = $1,352,470
retained earnings in December 31, 2020 =$5,537,590
Explanation:
For cost of goods sold in 2020
Corrected cost of goods sold = Reported cost of goods sold in 2020 - overstated value of ending inventory in year 2019 + overstated value of ending inventory in year 2020
= $1,419,800 -$99,040+ $31,710,
= $1,352,470
For retained earnings in December 31, 2020
Corrected retained earnings == Reported retained earning in 2020 - overstated value of ending inventory in year 2020
= $5,569,300-$31,710
=$5,537,590

Riverside Oil Company in eastern Kentucky produces regular and supreme gasoline. Each barrel of regular sells for $21 and must have an octane rating of at least 90. Each barrel of supreme sells for $25 and must have an octane rating of at least 97. Each of these types of gasoline are manufactured by mixing different quantities of the following three inputs:
Input Cost per Barrel Octane Rating Barrels Available in (1000s)
1 $17.25 100 150
2 $15.75 87 350
3 $17.75 110 300
Riverside has orders for 300,000 barrels of regular and 450,000 barrels of supreme. How should the company allocate the available inputs to the production of regular and supreme gasoline to maximize profits?
a. Formulate and LP model for this problem.
b. What is the optimal solution?
Solution :
Here,
[tex]$X_{iR}$[/tex] = the number of the barrels mixed i to manufacture the regular gasoline
[tex]$X_{iS}$[/tex] = the number of the barrels mixed i to manufacture the supreme gasoline.
The [tex]$\text{selling price}$[/tex] of each of the barrel of both gasoline is [tex]$\$ 21$[/tex] and [tex]$\$25$[/tex]. So the total [tex]$\text{selling price}$[/tex] of both types of gasoline is represented by :
[tex]$21 \times \sum X_{iR} +25 \times \sum X_{iS}$[/tex]
The cost prices of one barrel of the three types of input are 17.25, 1575 and 17.75.
So the total price is represented by :
[tex]$17.25 \times (X_{iR}+X_{iS})+15.75 \times (X_{2R}+X_{2S})+17.75 \times (X_{3R}+X_{3S})$[/tex]
The company wants to increase the profit. So maximize objective function will be used.
Max Z = [tex]$(21. \times \sum X_{iR} +24 \times \sum X_{iS})-[17.25 \times (X_{iR}+X_{iS})+17.75 \times (X_{2R}+X_{2S})+17.75 \times (X_{3R}+X_{3S})]$[/tex]The company has 150,000 barrels of input 1 available. So,
[tex]$X_{1R}+ X_{1S} \leq 150,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{2R}+ X_{2S} \leq 350,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{3R}+ X_{3S} \leq 300,000$[/tex]
The company got an order to sell 300,000 barrels of regular and 450,000 barrels of supreme gasoline. So,
[tex]$X_{1R}+X_{2R}+X_{3R} = 300,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{1S}+X_{2S}+X_{3S} = 450,000$[/tex]
The company wishes the regular gasoline to have octane number of at least 90. So,
[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1R}+87 \times X_{2R} +10 \times X_{3R}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 90$[/tex]
The company wishes the supreme gasoline to have octane number of at least 97. So,
[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1S}+87 \times X_{2S} +10 \times X_{3S}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 97$[/tex]
Formulating the LP model :
Max :
[tex]$[21 \times \sum X_{iR}+25 \times \sum X_{iS}]$[/tex] [tex]$-[17.25 \times (X_{1R}+X_{1S})+15.75 \times (X_{2R}+X_{2S})+17.75 \times (X_{3R}+X_{3S})]$[/tex]
Subject to :
[tex]$X_{1R}+ X_{1S} \leq 150,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{2R}+ X_{2S} \leq 350,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{3R}+ X_{3S} \leq 300,000$[/tex]
Also,
[tex]$X_{1R}+X_{2R}+X_{3R} = 300,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{1S}+X_{2S}+X_{3S} = 450,000$[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1R}+87 \times X_{2R} +10 \times X_{3R}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 90$[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1S}+87 \times X_{2S} +10 \times X_{3S}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 97$[/tex]
