Question

planes that seat 320 passengers and cost $200 million each, planes that seat 250 passengers and cost $125 million each, and Lockheed planes that seat 275 passengers and cost $200 million each. You are the purchasing manager of an airline company and have a spending goal of $2,900 million for the purchase of new aircrafts to seat a total of 4,480 passengers. Also, you must buy twice as many Lockheed airplanes as Airbus planes. How many of each type of airplane should you order

Answer 1

Answer:

As Boing is much better in the cost per seat It will purchase from Boing and only to fullfil the requirement

1 airbus     320  seat   $     200

18 boing         4500  seat   $  2,250

2 loockheed    550 seat   $     400

Total               5,370 seat      $  2, 850

Explanation:

Airbus      320 seat   $ 200M

Boeing     250 seat   $ 125 M

Lockheed 275 seat   $ 200 M

We need to get 4,480 seats with a budget of 2,900 millions plus the composition requirement of twice as many Lockheed as Airbus:

Those we will purchase an Airbus and two Lockheed to get the requirement of twice as many Lockheed as Airbus

The rest of the budget will be expended on Boeing
