Oil wells A and B can deliver 25 and 15 units of oil, respectively. Refineries C and D need to process 20 and 10 units of oil, respectively. Cost to deliver a unit of oil from a well to a refinery is as follows: $10 from A to C, $8 from A to D, $7 from B to C, and $6 from B to D. How should the oil be delivered to minimize the cost? (Indicate what unknowns are, formulate an LP problem, show all steps of solution process, and clearly state how much oil to be delivered from where to where.)

Minnesota has two oil refineries that emit methane gas. The Bend
refinery emits 300 units of methane and the Park refinery emits 900
units of methane. Government regulators would like to reduce total
methane emissions from 1,200 to 900 units. Bend’s total abatement
cost is TCB = 400QB + 4QB 2 where Q is units of methane. Park’s
total abatement cost is TCP = 40QP + 2QP 2.

An oil magnate can buy a piece of land for $900,000. She
believes that there is a .5 probability of no oil, a .3 chance of
one well, and a .2 chance of two wells. She will make $1,000,000
for each well on the land. Before she makes a decision she runs an
experiment that costs $100,000. From this experiment she observes x
= 1 where x is a binary statistical variable x ∈ {0, 1} such that

7. The large tankers that transport oil from the U.S. gulf coast
to Canadian refineries typically carry between 800,000 and 1.3
million barrels of product. In order to control the production of
refined petroleum, Canadian refineries need to minimize the
variation in arrival times of large tankers or their refineries may
have too little product on hand. The industry typically views a
standard deviation of 9.3 days as acceptable given the influence of
weather, labor cost, and mechanical failures cannot...

Consider the oil-producing countries of A, B, and C. Each has a
marginal cost of zero. World demand is given by Q=1204-p. Suppose
the three countries form a cartel, and that none of them has an
incentive to deviate from the cartel. By how many units lower is
the total output of oil under the cartel relative to the Cournot
solution?

Utopia Company operates a plant in Avalon with a monthly
capacity of 35,000 units and a plant in Bridgetown with a monthly
capacity of 40,000 units. Product is shipped to regional
distribution centers located in Riverdale, Seaside and Teatown.
The long-range planning group at Utopia reevaluated their
forecasts and determined that due to an anticipated increase in
demand in the next 5 years, the company should consider
increasing capacity by constructing a new plant in one or

1. The demand for a particular part called SKU 005 is 1,500
units a year. The cost of one SKU 005 is $50.00. It costs $60.00 to
place an order SKU 005, and the user of SKU 005 has a per year
inventory carrying cost of 25% of unit cost. Assume that there are
250 working days in the year where SKU 005 is used.
