Mr. Carson recently invested in 2 franchises of a famous coffee shop. As a start, he only sells three (3) of the signature coffee beverages which are Americano, Cappuccino and Latte. Franchise A costs RM 6,000 per day to operate while Franchise B which is a bigger outlet costs RM 8,000 per day to operate. Table 1 summarizes the average number of beverages that are sold per day for each franchise. Table 1 Americano (cup/day) Cappuccino (cup/day) Latte (cup/day) Franchise A 100 150 180 Franchise B 200 180 200 (a) Mr. Carson decided to set a target to sell a total of 5,600 cups of Americano, 6,000 cups of Cappuccino and 7,200 cups of Latte in a month. Set-up the linear programming to obtain the number of days he should run his franchises in a month to minimize his costs and still able to meet his targeted number of beverages sold in a month. Latte Linear Programming: Given. Cost of Franchise A = 6000 Rm Day Cost of Franchise B = 8000 Rm Day Americano Cappuccino (cup/day) (cup day) (cup/day) Franchise A 100 150 180 Franchise B 200 180 200 We have to setup the linear programming to obtain the number of days he should run his franchises in a month to minimize his cost and still able to meet his targeted number of beverages sold in a month. Let Franchise a runs x days in a month and Franchise Bruns y days in a month. Therefore the objective is given as follows: Minimize Z = 6000x +8000y Constraint of objective is given as follows: 100x +200 y = 5600 150x +180y = 6000 180x+ 200 y = 7200 x+y = 30 *20.20 Hence, the required LPP is given as above. (b) From linear programming in (a), use the Simplex method to estimate the number of days he should run his franchises in a month to minimize his costs and still able to meet his targeted number of beverages sold in a month. State the minimum cost and the operation days for each franchise
