Question 1088181: 1. The Electrocomp Corporation manufactures two electrical products: air conditioners and large fans. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each fan must go through 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling. Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time are available and up to 140 hours of drilling time may be used. Each air conditioner sold yields a profit of $25 and each fan assembled may be sold for a $15 profit. Also management decided that to ensure an adequate supply of air conditioners for a contract, at least 20 air conditioners should be manufactured. Since Electrocomp incurred an oversupply of fans the previous period, management also insist that no more than 80 fans be produced during this production period.
a. Formulate a linear programming model for the maximization of profit.
b. Solve your linear programming model, using corner point graphical approach. Indicate your corner points coordinates on the graph.
Shade your feasible region and determine the best combination of air conditioner and fans that yields the highest profit.

Question 1089632: (b) Given your interest in sports and computers, you are considering establishing a computer games development business. You would like to run the business for the next 5 years and your required return is 18%. You would need hardware worth around $200 000 to start development and production of your first game ‘Super Hoop Croquet’. The equipment would be scrapped at the end of the project.
You have decided to locate your business in a regional centre rather than the city in order to lower rental costs. Your annual rent will be $30 000. The going rate for programmers in the area is $70 000 p.a. and you would employ 4 of these.
Sales for the first year are expected to be 3 700 units. Sales in units are expected to grow at 7% p.a. for the following 4 years of the project. The selling price will be around $130 per unit and the production costs will be $16 per unit. Marketing costs are expected to be 20% of annual sales and are paid at the start of each year based on the sales estimate for the year, thus in year 5 there won’t be any marketing cost. An inventory worth $52 000 will also be needed at the commencement of operations. The inventory cost will be recovered at the end of the project.
Showing all relevant cash flows, calculate the project’s NPV. No incomplete units can be sold, so round the unit sales to the nearest whole number. Indicate if you should start this business or not
