Q6: I just read an offer for Lugster Soles that we could get for $19 a pair. Would you consider that? The shadow price for Lugster Soles is $20, and the Sensitivity Analyses tell me that this holds for an increase of up to 250 pairs. Hence, if we can get a pair for $19, get them. They are worth $20 to us, so for each extra pair, we make $1 in addition to our usual profit. We can get up to 250 pairs. * Lecture * Example A farmer has a choice of four grain types with which he can produce a feed mixture that will meet certain nutritional requirements. He will blend various grain types to minimize his total cost in view of the following information. * Lecture * Nutritional Proportional Content Total Item Grain 1 Grain 2 Grain 3 Grain 4 Requirement Fat .03 .05 .05 .07 at least 500 lbs Protein .13 .12 .10 .04 at least 1250 lbs Roughage .08 .09 .14 .13 at most 1600 lbs Cost/lb. 23￠ 19￠ 17￠ 6￠ What will be the minimum total cost of all the grain to be purchased and what will be the total weight of the feed mix? How much of each protein, fat, and roughage will be in the feed mix? If the price of Grain 2 rose to 21￠/lb., what would be the new cost of the feed mix? A salesman peddling Grain 1 offers to sell it for 20￠/lb. Will he persuade the farmer to revise his plans to buy more of Grain 1? The salesman withdraws his 20￠/lb. offer, but points out that the farmer’s present feed mix plans involve too much roughage. He convinces the farmer that any roughage in excess of 1200 lbs would be unnecessary, and points to the low roughage content of Grain 1. Will this revelation affect the farmer’s decision about including more Grain 1 in the mix? What if the requirement of fat were revised upwards by 100 lbs? * Lecture * LINDO Printout (with Sensitivity option) OBJECTIVE FUNCTION VALUE 1) 1957.083 ?
