QUESTION 21 Table 8-5 Each coffee table produced by Timothy Kent Designers nets the firm a profit of $9. Each bookcase yields a $12 profit. Kent's firm is small and its resources limited. During any given production period (of 1 week), 10 gallons of varnish and 12 lengths of high quality redwood are available. Each coffee table requires approximately 1 gallon of varnish and 1 length of redwood. Each bookcase takes 1 gallon of varnish and 2 lengths of wood. T = number of tables produced each week B = number of bookcases produced each week Referring to Table 8-5, the solution to the problem is T = 0, B = 6. T = 8, B = 2. T = 0, B = 10. O T = 10, B = 0. QUESTION 19 Table 8-3 A marketing research firm would like to survey undergraduate and graduate college students about whether or not they take out student loans for their education. There are different cost implications for the region of the country where the college is located and the type of degree. The survey cost table is provided below: Student type Region East Central West undergraduate graduate $10 $15 $12 $18 $15 $21 The requirements for the survey are as follows: The survey must have at least 1500 students At least 400 graduate students At least 100 graduate students should be from the West No more than 500 undergraduate students should be from the East At least 75 graduate students should be from the Central region At least 300 students should be from the West The marketing research firm would like to minimize the cost of the survey while meeting the requirements. Let X1 = # of undergraduate students from the East region, X2 = # of graduate students from the East region, X3 = # of undergraduate students from the Central region, X4 = # of graduate students from the Central region, X5 = # of undergraduate students from the West region, and X6 = # of graduate students from the West region. According to Table 8-3, the minimum cost is O 20000 18950 0 20500 O 19625
