<\/td>\nCase Analysis<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
18<\/td>\nRead the case situation below and answer the questions that follow.<\/p>\n

Retailers often sell different brands of competing products. Depending on the joint demand for the products, the retailer may be able to set prices that regulate demand and, therefore, influence profits.<\/p>\n

Suppose HOME-ALL, Inc., a national chain of home improvement retailers, sells two competing brands of interior flat paint, En-Dure 100 and Croyle& James, which the chain purchases for $8 per gallon and $10 per gallon, respectively. HOME-ALL\u2019s research department has determined the following two monthly demand equations for these paints:<\/p>\n

D = 120 \u2013 40d<\/em> + 20c<\/em> and C<\/em> = 680 + 30d<\/em> \u2013 40c<\/em><\/p>\n

Where D is hundreds of gallons of En-Dure 100 demanded at $d per gallon and C is hundreds of gallons of Croyle& James demanded at $c per gallon. For what prices should HOME-ALL sell these paints in order to maximize its monthly profit on these items?<\/p>\n

To answer this question, complete the following.<\/p>\n

i) Recall that revenue is a product\u2019s selling price per item the number of items sold. With this in mind, formulate HOME-ALL\u2019s total revenue function for the two paints as a function of their prices.<\/p>\n

ii) Form HOME-ALL\u2019s profit function for the two paints (in terms of their selling prices).<\/p>\n

iii) Determine the prices of each type of paint that will maximize HOME-ALL\u2019s profit.<\/p>\n

iv) Write a brief report to management that details your pricing recommendations and justifies them.<\/p>\n

Read the situation below and answer the questions that follow.<\/p>\n

RMC Inc. is a small firm that produces a variety of chemical products. In a particular production process, three raw materials are blended (mixed together) to produce two products: a fuel additive and a solvent base. Each ton of fuel additive is a mixture of 2\/5 tons of material 1 and 3\/5 of material 3. A ton of solvent base is a mixture of 1\/2 ton of material 1, 1\/5 ton of material 2, and 3\/10 ton of material 3. After deducting relevant costs, the profit contribution is $40 for every ton of fuel additive produced and $30 for every ton of solvent base produced.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Raw Material<\/td>\nAmount Available for Production<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Material 1<\/td>\n20 tons<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Material 2<\/td>\n5 tons<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Material 3<\/td>\n21 tons<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

RMC\u2019s production is constrained by the limited availability of the three raw materials. For the current production period, RMC has available the following quantities of each raw material:<\/p>\n

Assuming that RMC is interested in maximizing the total profit contribution, answer the following:<\/p>\n

i.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What is the linear programming model for this problem?<\/p>\n

ii.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How many tons of each product should be produced, and what is the projected total profit contribution?<\/p>\n

iii.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Is there any unused material? If so, how much?<\/p>\n

iv.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Are any of the constraints redundant? If so, which ones?<\/p>\n
