You are in the business of producing and selling snow shovels, and you need to determine how many shovels should be produced during each of the next four quarters to meet the following demands: 11,000 shovels in quarter 1; 48,000 shovels in quarter 2; 64,000 shovels in quarter 3; and 15,000 shovels in quarter 4.

Due to labor limitations, at most 65,000 shovels can be produced in any one quarter at a cost of $5/shovel. Additionally, a fixed cost of $30,000 must be paid for any quarter in which shovels are produced. You may assume that any shovels produced during a quarter can be used to satisfy demand for that quarter. At the end of the quarter, a holding cost of $0.50 per shovel in inventory is incurred. Currently, you have no shovels in inventory.

Required:
Formulate an integer-linear program to determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of production and inventory costs over the next four quarters.

You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, frizzles, and cannies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.

Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies decreases by 5%, the quantity of frizzles sold increases by 4% and the quantity of cannies sold decreases by 5%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.

Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and flopsicles, and then between splishy splashies and kipples. In the second column, determine if splishy splashies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating which good you should recommend marketing with splishy splashies.
