Chapter 11, Problem 15P
Bay Oil produces two types of fuel (regular and super) by mixing three ingredients. The major distinguishing feature of the two products is the octane level required. Regular fuel must have a minimum octane level of 90, whereas super must have a level of at least 100. The cost per barrel, octane levels, and available amounts (in barrels) for the upcoming two-week period appear in the following table, along with the maximum demand for each end product and the revenue generated per barrel:

A city of 70000 residents has an average water demand of 250 L/ca.day. The institutional and commercial, and industrial average areas in the city are 250 and 350 Ha, and water demand expected is 20 and 23 m3 /Ha.d. The public water use and water unaccounted for are 10 and 6 % of total municipal water demand, respectively. Calculate total municipal demand and each component quantity as a % of total municipal demand.

Demand for stereo headphones and MP3 players for joggers has caused Nina Industries to grow almost 50 percent over the past year. The number of joggers continues to expand, so Nina expects demand for headsets to also expand, because, as yet, no safety laws have been passed to prevent joggers from wearing them. Demand for the players for this year was as follows:

Using linear regression analysis, what would you estimate demand to be for each month next year? Using a spreadsheet, follow the general format in Exhibit 3.7.
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.
To be reasonably confident of meeting demand, Nina decides to use three standard errors of estimate for safety. How many additional units should be held to meet this level…

The operations manager, Ms. Priya Johnson, is trying to determine the amount of fertilizer that should be applied to a particular lawn in a residential area in San Juan. Ms. Johnson’s analysis has determined that the lawn needs at least 60kg of Nitrogen, 24kg of Phosphorous compounds and 40kg of Potassium compounds for the current season. After checking nearby home and garden centres, Ms. Johnson has found that one of the suppliers is currently having a sale on packaged fertilizer. One type on sale called Xynis, is a 20-5-20 mixture, containing 20% Nitrogen, 5% phosphorous compounds and 20% potassium compounds. It sells at $4 for a 20kg bag. The other type called Yield-all is a 10-10-5 mixture (10% Nitrogen, 10% phosphorous compounds and 5% potassium compounds) selling for $5 for a 40kg bag.
