Muir manufacturing produces two popular grades of commercial carpeting among its many other products. in the coming production period, muir needs to decide how many rolls of each grade should be produced in order to maximize profit. each roll of grade x carpet uses 50 units of synthetic fiber, requires 25 hours of production time, and needs 20 units of foam backing. each roll of grade y carpet uses 40 units of synthetic fiber, requires 28 hours of production time, and needs 15 units of foam backing. the profit per roll of grade x carpet is $200 and the profit per roll of grade y carpet is $160. in the coming production period, muir has 3000 units of synthetic fiber available for use. workers have been scheduled to provide 1800 hours of production time (overtime is a possibility). the company has 1500 units of foam backing available for use. develop and solve a linear programming model for this problem. report the number of rolls of grade x carpet (x*=? ) below.

Guardian inc. is trying to develop an asset-financing plan. the firm has $450,000 in temporary current assets and $350,000 in permanent current assets. guardian also has $550,000 in fixed assets. assume a tax rate of 40 percent. a. construct two alternative financing plans for guardian. one of the plans should be conservative, with 70 percent of assets financed by long-term sources, and the other should be aggressive, with only 56.25 percent of assets financed by long-term sources. the current interest rate is 12 percent on long-term funds and 7 percent on short-term financing. compute the annual interest payments under each plan.
