Question

Chucho operates a bus selling sandwiches with visiting construction projects and industrial zones. Their sandwiches are very popular for its freshness and quality, as Chucho uses the best quality ingredients it buys daily, early in the morning from your supplier. The ingredients that buy every day are: 24 pounds of turkey breast in the oven prepare___________$ 90 36 pounds robif__________$ 189 30 pounds of cured ham with honey___________$ 135 24 pounds of cheese suizo___________$ 81 Bread rolls 300 francs__________$90 condiments________$45 Besides the cost of $ 630.00 of the foods listed above, Chucho incurs other expenses totaling $420.00 daily. These correspond to gasoline, paying your bus, insurance, paper napkins, plastic wrap for sandwiches and the hire of an assistant. Chucho sliced meats and cheese in portions of an ounce; it proceeds to prepare 300 sandwiches, the maximum that can accommodate your bus. He has no problem to sell 300 sandwiches they prepare each day. The following table provides data for the ingredients of each of the five sandwiches that manufactures and selling prices data. Formulate a model to find the number of each type sandwiches to be prepared Chucho daily in order to maximize their profit. Do not forget to define very clearly the meaning of each of the variables that you use in your model. Be very careful in making its objective function without ignoring anything.

Explanation / Answer

Formulation Solution:

Decision Variables:

X1 = Units of Pavo de lujo

X2 = Units of Mata Hambre

X3 = Units of El Jamonero

X4 = Units of Club de Oro

Total Revenue = 3.15*X1 + 5.25*X2+ 4* X3 +6* X4 + 6.5*X5

Total cost = $630+$ 420 = $1050

Profit, Z = (Total Revenue – Total Cost)

Objective function = Max Z

Constraints:

Turkey: 4X1 + 2X4 + 3X5 <= +24*16

Rosbif:   4X2 + 2X4 + 3X5 <= +36*16

Ham :     4X3 + 2X4 + 3X5 <= 30*16

Cheese: 1X1 +1X2 +2X3+2X4 <= +24*16

Total unit of sandwiches = X1 +X2+X3+X4+X5 <= 300

X1, X2, X3,X4, X5 = Integer
