Bullco blends silicon and nitrogen to produce two types of fertilizers. Fertilizer 1 must be at least 40% nitrogen and sells for $70 per pound. Fertilizer 2 must be at least 70% silicon and sells for $40 per pound. Bullco can purchase up to 80 pounds of nitrogen at $15 per pound and up to 100 pounds of silicon at $10 per pound. Assuming all fertilizer products can be sold, formulate and solve an LP to help Bullco maximize profits.

Answer:

Maximize

z = 70(Xs1 + Xn1 ) + 40(Xs2 + Xn2 ) - 10 (Xs1 + Xs2 ) - 15(Xn1 + Xn2 )  

Subject to the constraints  

Xs1 + Xs2 ≤ 100

Xn1 + Xn2 ≤ 80

Xn1 ≥ 0.4 ( Xs1 + Xn1 )

Xs2 ≥ 0.7 ( Xs2 + Xn2 )

All Variables ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly lets consider Xs1 and Xs2 to be the number of pounds of silicon used in fertilizer1 and fertilizer2 respectively

Also let Xn1 and Xn2 be the number of pounds of nitrogen used in fertilizer1 and fertilizer2 respectively

We know that the objective is to maximize the profits of Bullco.

z = [(Selling price of fertilizer1) (Amount of silicon and nitrogen used to produce fertilizer1) + (Selling price of fertilizer2) (Amount of silicon and nitrogen used to produce fertilizer2) - (Cost of silicon) (Amount of silicon used to produce fertilizer I and 2) - (Cost of nitrogen) (Amount of nitrogen used to produce fertilizer I and 2)]

so

z = 70(Xs1 + Xn1 ) + 40(Xs2 + Xn2 ) - 10 (Xs1 + Xs2 ) - 15(Xn1 + Xn2 )  

Now

Constraint 1;  At most, 100 lb of silicon can be purchased

Amount of silicon used to produce fertilizer 1 and 2 ≤ 100

Xs1 + Xs2 ≤ 100

Constraint 2; At most, 80 lb of nitrogen can be purchased

Amount of nitrogen used to produce fertilizer 1 and 2 ≤ 80

Xn1 + Xn2 ≤ 80

Constraint 3; Fertilizer 1 must be at least 40% of nitrogen

Amount of nitrogen used to produce fertilizer 1 ≥ 40% (fertilizer 1)

Xn1 ≥ 0.4 ( Xs1 + Xn1 )

Constraint 4; Fertilizer 2 must be at least 70% of silicon

Amount of silicon used to produce fertilizer 2  ≥ 70% (fertilizer 2)

Xs2 ≥ 0.7 ( Xs2 + Xn2 )  

so the formulization of the given linear program is,  

Maximize

z = 70(Xs1 + Xn1 ) + 40(Xs2 + Xn2 ) - 10 (Xs1 + Xs2 ) - 15(Xn1 + Xn2 )  

Subject to the constraints  

Xs1 + Xs2 ≤ 100

Xn1 + Xn2 ≤ 80

Xn1 ≥ 0.4 ( Xs1 + Xn1 )

Xs2 ≥ 0.7 ( Xs2 + Xn2 )

All Variables ≥ 0

In Example 2, we saw that Airbus A330-300s seat 330 passengers and cost $250 million each, Boeing 767-300ERs seat 270 passengers and cost $200 million each, while Boeing Dreamliner 787-9s seat 240 passengers and cost $250 million each. You are the purchasing manager of an airline company and have a spending goal of $5550 million for the purchase of new aircraft to seat a total of 6750 passengers. Your company has a policy of supporting U.S. industries, and you have been instructed to buy twice as many Boeings as Airbuses. Given the selection of three aircraft, how many of each should you order?

Airbus A330-300s

Boeing 767-300ERs
