i have this task that uses Solver in Excel to create an optimisation model. please help..

let's say i have a company and i have $10,000 in capital.

my company produces 2 products, call them A and B.

Product A costs $0.80/unit to produce and will sell for $7.00/unit.

Product B costs $0.75/unit to produce and will sell for $8.00/unit.

it has been said that advertising helps in creating demand for the products, and therefore it is a MUST to advertise the products.

$1 spent on advertising Product A will yield 5 demands for the product.

$1 spent on advertising Product B will yield 8 demands for the product.

it is also a condition that 40%-70% of the total production of each year must consist of Product A.

the question is:

how many Product A and Product B should be produced to maximise profit?

how much should be spent on advertising both products each year?

suppose that i have $10,000 in capital to fund the production and advertising of both products for a year.

thx!

I don't know how it happened but my Friendster profile page does not show my profle anymore, instead it shows a blank screen with the words 'Saviour of the soul' on its bottom right corner. I noticed that some people in my friends list have this problem as well. Can somebody tell me what happened and how to correct this? Thanks so much.

i have a friend who used to be my close friend. we became close as he was one of the few people i can have deep conversations with and we shared a lot of the same interests. during the last holidays we went back to our respective hometowns and since then things have never been the same. he became distant and aloof sometimes. although he did not ignore me, i (and other people) could tell that he was not the same guy he used to be. i asked him about this once and he said he hasnt changed. i don't wanna bring this subject up again coz it's kinda hard to talk about but it's really been bothering me eversince. i kind of suspect that the reason we became distant was because a lot of people started talking about how close we were and were suggesting that we should date. i don't have that kind of feelings for him, and i have a boyfriend. what should i do? should i try to talk abt this with him again?

I bought a set of electric drums 4 months ago, and have been playing it in my apartment ever since... but lately, there has been complains from the people living below me that they can feel vibrations and stuff... i think it's from the bass drum. now i can't play anymore coz they've reported me to the building manager and even threatened to call the police if the noise and vibration don't stop. is there any way i can reduce the vibration... like maybe use rubber mats or something? please help... coz i'm desperate... i'm so depressed everytime i see my drums and can't play it...

I've got a pair of leather shoes that's starting to stink up and the inside has turned kinda black from all the dirt and stuff... How do i remove both the stench and the dirt?

the new golf gti only has 1 reversing light on when reversing (at least here, in australia). they said that it's something the engineers thought up. they claim that 1 reversing light attracts more attention than 2, thus making it safer for everybody (the reversing car and other traffic). what do u think about this? i personally think having only 1 reversing light looks ugly.. looks like the car is faulty or something.

my siberian husky is very quiet. the only time he barks is when he wants to go out to go potty. i know huskies are not guard dogs and tend to get friendly with strangers, but can i at least teach him to bark when strangers enter my property?

My siberian husky doesn't howl, he barks, which is pretty weird because i heard from a lot of people that huskies howl instead of bark. Can i teach him to howl, and then maybe to speak?

My siberian husky loves fruits. I used to give him grapes ocassionally but I've been told that it's actually bad for them. Any suggestion on what fruits I can give him? Thanks.

I'm thinking of getting a cat, but I've heard that they carry lethal diseases that can affect humans especially women. Is this true for all cats? What are the diseases and how can they be prevented? I've had dogs all my life but not cats, so I have no idea about the issues that they bring. Thanks for your answers.
