QUESTION:
Items purchased from a vendor cost Php 20 each, and the forecast for next year’s
demand is 1,000 units. If it costs Php 5 every time an order is placed for more
units and the storage cost is Php 4 per unit per year, what quantity should be
order each time?

Choices:

a. 20 b. 30 c. 40 d. 50

ANSWER:

d. 50 units
SOLUTION ( IF PROBLEM -SOLVING)

Q = (2DS/H) = ((2(1000)(5))/4) = 50 units

Where
D = Demand
S = Ordering cost
H = Storage cost/holding cost

QUESTION:
Two products, X and Y, both require processing time on machines I and II. Machine I has 200
hours available, and machine II has 400 hours available. Product X requires one hour on machine I
and four hours on machine II. Product Y requires one hour on machine I and one hour on machine
II. Each unit of product X yields PhP 10 profit and each units of Y yields PhP 5 profit. What is the
Linear Programming Model for this problem.
Choices:
a. Max Profit = PhP 5X + PhP 5Y
Subject to: X + Y ≤ 200
X + Y ≤ 400
X,Y≥0
b. Max Profit = PhP 10X +PhP 5Y
Subject to: X + Y ≤ 200
4X + Y ≤ 400
X,Y≥0
c. Max Profit = PhP 5X + PhP 10Y
Subject to: X + Y ≥ 200
4X + Y ≥ 400
X,Y≥0
d. Max Profit = PhP 10X + PhP 5Y
Subject to: X + Y ≤ 200
X + Y ≤ 400
X,Y≥0
ANSWER:
b. Max Profit = PhP 10X +PhP 5Y
Subject to: X + Y ≤ 200
4X + Y ≤ 400
X,Y≥0
SOLUTION ( IF PROBLEM -SOLVING)
Let X = number of units of product X to be produced.
Y = number of units of product Y to be produced.
Max Profit = PhP 10X +PhP 5Y
Subject to: X + Y ≤ 200 Capacity of Machine I
4X + Y ≤ 400 Capacity of Machine II
X,Y≥0 Nonnegativity Constraints

ANSWER: c. 9th--997, 10th- 1067.67, 11th – 1138.33, 12th – 1209

SOLUTION ( IF PROBLEM -SOLVING)

y = a + bx
Where
y = the dependent variable
a = the intercept
b = the slope of the line
x = the independent variable

a  y - bx b
 xy  n x y
 x  nx
2 2

a = 361 b = 70.67
equation y = 361 + 70.67x
