Formulate a linear programming problem to determine how much of each type of feed a cow should be fed each month.

The Beef-Up Ranch feeds cattle for Midwestern farmers and delivers them to processing plants in Topeka, Kansas, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. The ranch must determine the amounts of cattle feed to buy so that various nutritional requirements are met while minimizing total feed costs. The mixture fed to the cows must contain different levels of four

The Beef-Up Ranch feeds cattle for Midwestern farmers and delivers them to processing plants in Topeka, Kansas, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. The ranch must determine the amounts of cattle feed to buy so that various nutritional requirements are met while minimizing total feed costs. The mixture fed to the cows must contain different levels of four key nutrients and can be made by blending three different feeds. The amount of each nutrient (in ounces) found in each pound of feed is summarized as follows:
Nutrient (in ounces) per Pound of Feed
Nutrient Feed 1-Feed 2-Feed 3
A 3-2-4
B 3-1-3
C 1-0-2
D 6-8-4
The cost per pound of feeds 1, 2, and 3 are $2.00, $2.50, and $3.00, respectively. The minimum requirement per cow each month is 4 pounds of nutrient A, 5 pounds of nutrient B, 1 pound of nutrient C, and 8 pounds of nutrient D. However, cows should not be fed more than twice the minimum requirement for any nutrient each month. (Note that there are 16 ounces in a pound.) Additionally, the ranch can only obtain 1,500 pounds of each type of feed each month. Because there are usually 100 cows at the Beef-Up Ranch at any given time, this means that no more than 15 pounds of each type of feed can be used per cow each month.
a.Formulate a linear programming problem to determine how much of each type of feed a cow should be fed each month.
b.Create a spreadsheet model for this problem, and solve it using Solver
c.What is the optimal solution?

Write a ten to twelve (10-12) page paper in which you:

Develop three (3) recruitment methods for the job opportunity in question, and suggest two (2) ways that each method helps one to avoid discriminatory practices. Justify your response.
Outline an application process that details the organization’s method of accepting all applications, as well as its method of validating applicants’ attainment of the required credentials (e.g., reviewing resumes, collecting transcripts, verifying certifications, etc.) for the job opportunity.
Develop a five- (5) step procedure for the HR Department to use in order to maintain all applicants’ records in case a discriminatory charge occurs.
Decide on three (3) background checks that the HR Department must utilize, and justify the relevance of each background check for the job opportunity.
Choose three (3) employment tests (e.g., drug tests, medical examinations, HIV tests, generic tests, polygraphs, honesty tests, psychological tests, intelligence and skills tests, and physical fitness, etc.) that the HR Department should use. Justify the relevance of each selected employment test to the job requirements.
Formulate a policy for making both the hiring and promotional decisions related to the job opportunity. Specify the major challenges and potential adverse impact of using subjective criteria for assessing soft skills. Next, suggest one (1) plan to mitigate the adverse impact. Justify your suggestion.
Recommend two (2) types of reasonable accommodations for both disabled applicants and applicants needing special religious considerations. Argue two (2) legal reasons for not being able to sufficiently provide such reasonable accommodation for each group.
Select one (1) case in which a court charged an organization with an affirmative action violation and one (1) case in which a court charged the organization with not managing harassment issues more expeditiously. Recommend an action plan geared toward preventing the issues addressed in both cases within your selected organization. Justify your recommendation.
Choose three (3) work-life conflicts that the HR Director should consider within the selected organization. Then, outline a policy geared toward resolving each conflict through the use of related employment laws. Justify your response.
