PROBLEM
The seasonal yield of olives in a Piraeus, Greece, vineyard is greatly influenced
by a process of branch pruning. If olive trees are pruned every two weeks,
output is increased. The pruning process, however, requires considerably more
labor than permitting the olives to grow on their own and results in a smaller
size olive. It also, though, permits olive trees to be spaced closer together. The
yield of 1 barrel of olives by pruning requires 5 hours of labor and I acre of
land. The production of a barrel of olives by the normal process requires only 2
labor hours but takes 2 acres of land. An olive grower has 250 hours of labor
available and a total of 150 acres for growing. Because of the olive size
difference, a barrel of olives produced on pruned trees sells for $20, whereas a
barrel of regular olives has a market price of $30. The grower has determined
that because of uncertain demand, no more than 40 barrels of pruned olives
should be produced.

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
