tax(34471)
(25%)
Problem 2
Read the description of the problem and then answer the questions that follow.
You are an Independent IT Adviser providing expert advice to individuals on request. A client of a small
newspaper, Daily News, produces two editions, morning and evening, and must publish at least 100 total
copies for each day’s delivery. The morning edition requires 1 hour of preparation and sells for 20 pence.
The evening edition requires 2.5 hours of preparation and sells for 30 pence. The client’s objective is to
maximise his total revenue of publishing, given that he has 200 preparation hours available each day and
at least 40 copies of the evening edition must be printed each day.
Questions
You should answer the following questions and incorporate your answers into a word-processed report.
The sections of your report should correspond to the individual questions following.
1. Formulate the client’s problem as a linear programming model, clearly defining the variables, the
objective function and the constraints.
2. Solve the problem graphically (use a graph paper).
3. Solve the problem using the Excel Solver and interpret the results.
4. Find the value of the slack-variable relating to the hours available and discuss its economics
interpretation.
5. Find the shadow price of hours available and discuss its economics interpretation.
6. Suppose that the Daily News can produce no more than 75 copies of the morning edition each day.
What should be the newspaper mix?
7. For the final part of your report, in your capacity as an IT Adviser, you should present a memorandum
to your client. Describe your main conclusions in simple, non-technical English; i.e. do not use technical
terms like variable, objective function or dual price. Don’t worry about repeating some or all of the
points that you have already made in answer to earlier questions. The aim is to communicate your
conclusions clearly to someone who is knowledgeable about newspaper production, but who knows
nothing about the subject of linear programming. You may use tables and charts if you wish.
Problem 3
A company manufactures a product. The total fixed costs are £400 and the variable cost per unit is £10.
The total revenue function is given by R= (60 – q) q, where q is the quantity sold.
Questions
You should answer the following questions and incorporate your answers into a word-processed report.
The sections of your report should correspond to the individual questions below.
1. Find an expression for total costs in terms of q, the quantity produced.
2. By plotting the revenue and cost functions found in 1 above obtain the break even output levels and
corresponding price.
3. Calculate the profit-maximising level of output and the profit at this output level.
4. Presentation of the documentation
