The Employee Credit Union at Directional State University is planning the allocation of funds for the coming year.

 ECU makes four types of loans and has three additional investment instruments. 

Each loan/investment has a corresponding risk and liquidity factor (on a scale of 0-100, with 100 being the most risky/liquid). 

The various revenue-producing instruments are summarized in the table below:

ECU has $2,000,000 available for investment during the coming year. 

However, state laws and pesky stakeholders impose certain restrictions on choice of investment instruments.  Risk-free securities may not exceed 30% of total funds available for investment. 

Unsecured loans may not exceed 10% of total funds invested in loans. 

The funds invested in automobile loans must not be less than the total of funds invested in furniture and other secured loans. 

The average risk factor may not exceed 60, and the average liquidity factor must be at least 40.  Check all that apply. 

  • We are required to invest a total of $2,000,000.
  • There are 7 decision variables.
  • There are 6 constraints (not including nonnegativity).
  • 0 is a right hand side value.
  • 60,000 is a right hand side value.
  • The average risk factor is (50 + 60 + 70 + 80 + 0 + 60 + 50)/7.
  • You are asked to assign four patients to five nurses using the following travel distances.  We want to minimize total mileage.  (10)

1.As a linear program, there are twenty-five decision variables

2.In the optimal solution, Danielle is assigned to Yolanda.

3.The optimal total mileage is 55.

4.If we added a fifth patient, she would be assigned to Emily.

5.This is a transportation problem.

Hungry  Birds, Inc. manufactures birdseed.  

One  variety consists of wheat. They are  trying to determine the optimal mix of buckwheat (X1), sunflower (X2), and  poppy (X3) (each in lbs.).

 Relevant  information is provided in the following table. In addition, the final mix is required to contain at least 500 lbs. of  poppy. Also, the total weight of the  buckwheat may not exceed the total weight of the sunflower in the final mix.

 If this had been run as an integer program, we would obtain a different solution. 

(Check/shade if true.)If we could reduce the fat requirement by 100 lbs., the optimal solution would not change. 

(Check/shade if true.)A new customer wants a mix with at least 20% buckwheat.  Would this change the optimal solution? 

If so, would it increase or decrease?  Check/shade the following: Nora in Accounting noted a glitch in her software, and stated that the cost estimates should be changed. 

She said the cost values should be $0.17 for buckwheat, $0.12 for sunflower, and $0.12 for poppy. 

Would this be a cause for concern?  If so, which component(s) would be affected? 

Check/shade the following:

If you could relax the requirement on one nutritional item, which would be the best choice to achieve the lowest cost?
