Question

Problem 2: (10 Points) Grafton Metalworks Company produces metal alloys from six different ores it mines. The Tech, with a student population of 30,000, is located in a small college town in Virginia. DirectCast Cable TV has a small service staff that is sufficient to handle installations and TV hookups for almost the entire year. However, for the month-long period right before and during the beginning of fall semester in August, when all the students return, the cable TV service is overwhelmed and must bring in an additional 14 technicians from other company offices. The DirectCast offices in the following seven cities have available service technicians to loan, as shown

Explanation / Answer

The Linear Model would be to actually include the various variables within the Business Equation

One way to calculate the costs incurred by Technicians-would be to look into the quanity (miles) of distance travelled for any average worker.

Let's code the various region within US:

Charlotte-A

Richmond-B

Atlanta-C

Greensboro-D

DC-E

Nashville-F

Norfolk- G

If the total cost for each technician depends on the distance a "technician" travelled between-from the Hub- it's great to look into the signals-and check accordingly.

Total Cost Incurred= 4A+3B+5C+2D+6E+3F+2G

The total cost includes "Salary and Bonus"- So if I put the total cost incurred-as L- the idea would be to look at the total cost incurred - "L" as a function of the number of technicians, and the distance from their Hub.

If I look at the total cost incurred across each hub, by the technicians-the total value would be

3560

So the Linear Model has to be less than or equal to 3560

So it should mean-

4A+3B+5C+2D+6E+3F+2G</=3560

The total cost would be 3560 or less than that. That's the upper limit.
