Answer:
Jennings breached the contract
Explanation:
A merchant firm offer is one that is irrevocable, the offeror makes an offer to sell goods within a given time frame and signs off on it.
Even without consideration (acceptance) from the other party, the contract is irrevocable.
A merchant firm offer that does not have a stated time frame rains open for a reasonable time.
In this instance Jennings made a merchant firm offer. Even if Wheeler had not accepted the offer it is irrevocable till June 9.
So by selling the car on May 15 he has breached the contract.
Yes, Jennings breached the contract with Wheeler by selling the car to someone else after Wheeler accepted the offer.
Explanation:Yes, Jennings breached the contract with Wheeler. In this case, an offer was made by Jennings to Wheeler through email. Wheeler accepted the offer by tendering the correct amount of money, but Jennings had already sold the car to someone else. However, the key factor here is whether there was a valid contract in place between the parties.
In contract law, an offer becomes effective upon the communication of the offer to the offeree. In this case, by emailing Wheeler with the offer, Jennings effectively communicated the offer to Wheeler. Upon receiving the offer, Wheeler had the option to accept or reject it.
By tendering the money, Wheeler accepted the offer, and a contract was formed. However, since Jennings had already sold the car to someone else, he breached the contract with Wheeler. Therefore, Jennings is legally responsible for breaching the contract.

An avant- garde clothing manufacturer runs a series of high- profile, risque ads on a billboard on Highway 101 and regularly collects protest calls from people who are offended by them. The company has no idea how many people in total see the ads, but it has been collecting statistics on the number of phone calls from irate viewers:Type Description Number of ComplaintsR Offensive racially/ ethnically 10M Demeaning to men 4W Demeaning to women 14I Ad is incomprehensible 6O Other 2a) Depict this data with a Pareto chart. Also depict the cumula-tive complaint line.b) What percent of the total complaints can be attributed to the most prevalent complaint?
Final answer:
To create a Pareto chart, arrange the complaints in descending order, calculate the cumulative total, and construct the chart with a cumulative complaint line. Approximately 38.89% of the total complaints can be attributed to ads being demeaning to women.
Explanation:
Pareto Chart Creation and Analysis
The avant-garde clothing manufacturer has collected statistics on the number of protest calls from viewers offended by their billboard ads. Here's how we can depict this data using a Pareto chart and calculate the percentage of the most prevalent complaint:
Firstly, arrange the complaints in descending order of frequency:
W (Demeaning to women) - 14 complaintsR (Offensive racially/ethnically) - 10 complaintsI (Ad is incomprehensible) - 6 complaintsM (Demeaning to men) - 4 complaintsO (Other) - 2 complaintsThen, calculate the cumulative number of complaints for each category as we move down the list.Construct the Pareto chart with the categories on the x-axis and the number of complaints on the y-axis. Bars representing the frequency of each complaint type will be shown in descending order.Add a cumulative complaint line that will show the running total of complaints.To find the percent of total complaints attributed to the most prevalent complaint (demeaning to women), use the following formula:
Percent = (Number of most prevalent complaints / Total number of complaints) x 100
In this case:
Total number of complaints = W + R + I + M + O = 14 + 10 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 36
Percent = (14 / 36) x 100 ≈ 38.89%
Therefore, approximately 38.89% of the total complaints can be attributed to ads being demeaning to women.
Joe Levi bought a home in Arlington, Texas, for $147,000. He put down 25% and obtained a mortgage for 30 years at 8.00%. What is the difference in interest cost if he had obtained a mortgage rate of 6.00%
To find the difference in interest cost, calculate the total amount of interest paid for each mortgage rate and subtract the interest paid at 6.00% from the interest paid at 8.00%. The difference in interest cost is $2,355.
Explanation:To find the difference in interest cost, we need to calculate the total amount of interest paid for each mortgage rate.
For the original mortgage at 8.00%, the amount of interest paid over 30 years can be found by subtracting the down payment from the total cost of the home and then calculating the interest on the remaining balance.
This can be done using the formula:
Interest = (Total Cost - Down Payment) * (Interest Rate / 100)
For the new mortgage at 6.00%, we can use the same formula to calculate the interest paid over 30 years.
Once we have the total interest paid for each mortgage rate, we can find the difference by subtracting the interest paid at 6.00% from the interest paid at 8.00%.
Let's calculate the difference in interest cost:
Original Mortgage:
Total Cost = $147,000
Down Payment = 25% of $147,000 = $36,750
Interest Rate = 8.00%
Interest = ($147,000 - $36,750) * (8.00 / 100) = $9,420
New Mortgage:
Total Cost = $147,000
Down Payment = 25% of $147,000 = $36,750
Interest Rate = 6.00%
Interest = ($147,000 - $36,750) * (6.00 / 100) = $7,065
Now, let's find the difference in interest cost:
Difference = $9,420 - $7,065 = $2,355
Therefore, the difference in interest cost is $2,355.
As part of its new Lean program, Qwik-and-Done has signed a long-term contract with Lighting Manufacturers and will now place orders for its LED lamps electronically. Ordering costs will drop to $0.50 per order, but carrying costs are raised to $19.1/lamp. What is the new EOQ?
Answer:
≈ 10 lamps
Explanation:
I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.
Annual demand is: 2000
My answer:
Given that:
Demand: 2000 (D) Ordering cost: $0.50 per order (S) Holding cost (carrying costs ): $19.1/lamp (H)So the new EOQ is calculated as the following:
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} }[/tex]
<=> EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*2000*0.5}{19.1} }[/tex]
<=> EOQ = 10.23 ≈ 10 lamps

A firm had been sued and found guilty of religious discrimination against people who practiced Judaism, and managers were instructed to be very careful to avoid another similar suit. To that end, Jewish employees, but not others, were given raises. Of the following, what is the most correct assessment of this policy? a.the policy is sound, both legally and ethicallyb.the policy is sound legally, but not ethicallyc.the policy is neither legally nor ethically soundd.none of these
Answer: c.the policy is neither legally nor ethically sound
Explanation:
You cannot reply discrimination with reverse discrimination because it is still discrimination. What the company just did was to pay Jews more money simply because they were Jews or rather people who practice Judaism and pay those who don't practice it less. That is not ethical because it is discrimination in the work place
The US Constitution holds that all people be treated equal and paying people different amounts owing to their ethnicity contravenes the Constitution and is therefore illegal.
Even if they had good intentions at heart, what they did was illegal, unethical and can even be considered bribery to get back on the good side of the people practicing Judaism.

A part is produced in lots of 1,000 units. It is assembled from 2 components worth $50 total.The value added in production (for labor and variable overhead) is $60 per unit, bringing total costs per completed unit to $110.The average lead time for the part is 6 weeks and annual demand is 3,800 units, based on 50 business weeks per year.1.1 What is the Average Cycle Inventory? (The units of the parts held, on average, in cycle inventory)1.2. What is the Pipeline Inventory? (The units of the part held, on average, in pipeline inventory)Please show work
Answer:
A. 55,000
B.$36,480
Explanation:
a. Average cycle inventory
=Q÷2
=1000÷ 2
=500 units
Value of cycle inventory
= (500 units) × ($50+$60)
=500 units ×110
= $55,000
b. Pipeline inventory let assume that typical part in pipeline is 50% completed.
Unit cost = material + half of labor and variable overhead
= $50 + $30 = $80
Average pipeline inventory = dL
= [(3800 units/year)/(50wks/yr)] x (6 weeks)
= 456 units
Value of the pipeline inventory
= (456 units) x ($50+$30)
=456 units ×80
= $36,480

Johnson Fine Wines recently purchased a new grape press for $150,000. The annual operating and maintenance costs for the press are estimated to be $4,000 the first year. These costs are expected to increase by $5,000 each year after the first. The market value is expected to decrease by $25,000 each year to a value of zero. Installation and removal of a press each cost $3,500. Using an interest rate of 9%, determine the economic life of the press.
Answer:
1 years
Explanation:
We use the Excel sheet to calculate the economic life the other press.
The data input would be explained as following:
+) Column A: End of year i
+) Column B: The salvage value of the press
Year 0, the salvage value = First cost = $150,000
As each year, the market value would decrease $25,000, so that the savage value of year i= 150,000 - 25,000 * i
=> Column B = 150,000 - 25,000 * Column A
+) Column C is the present worth of salvage value of the press, calculated as below:
PV Salvage value year i = [tex]\frac{Salvage Value}{(1 + interest rate)^{i}} = \frac{Salvage Value}{(1 + 0.09)^{i}} = \frac{Column B}{1.09^{A}}[/tex]
+) Column D is the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of capital, can be calculated by the formula:
EAC (Capital) Year i = (First cost - PV Salvage value year i) × [tex]\frac{interest rate}{1- (1+ interest rate)^{-i}}[/tex]
= (150,000 - Column C) × [tex]\frac{0.09}{1- 1.09^{-A}}[/tex]
+) Column E is the maintenance and operation cost of the press.
O&M Cost of year 1 is $4,000
As this cost are expected to increase by $5,000 each year, so that since year 2:
O&M Cost Year i = 4,000 + 5,000*(i-1) = 4,000 + 5,000*(Column A-1)
+) Column F is total cost of operation and maintenance, installation and removal of press
=> Column F = Column E + 3,500
The total cost of O&M, I&R in the year 1 = 7500
+) Column G is the EAC of the cost above
EAC in the Year 1 = PV Cost x [tex]\frac{0.09}{1- 1.09^{-A}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7500}{1.09^1}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{0.09}{1- 1.09^{-A}}[/tex] = 7500
Since year 2:
EAC in year i = EAC Year (i -1) + (Total cost Year i - EAC Year i - 1) × [tex]\frac{ 1 }{1.09^i}[/tex]× [tex]\frac{0.09}{1- 1.09^{-A}}[/tex]
+) Column H = EAC Total = D + G
The year with the minimum EAC Total value is the economic life of the press.
As we can see from the excel sheet, the mininum EAC is at the end of year 1
=> Economic life of the press if 1 year

The company used 13,000 pounds of polywood in order to make 6,000 chairs in April. The company purchased 7,000 pounds of polywood at a total cost of $24,150. It also used 3,840 labor hours at a cost of $12.70 per hour. How much is the direct labor rate variance
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $1,152 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Direct labor rate= $13.00 per hour
It used 3,840 labor hours for $12.70 per hour.
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (13 - 12.7)*3,840= $1,152 favorable

Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $28 in this market. If the sellers with the lowest cost are the ones who sell the good and the government does not purchase any excess units produced, then total surplus will be
Answer:
$1120
Explanation:
The chart of the question is in the below image.
Consumer surplus is the area above the price line and below the demand curve whereas producer surplus is the area below the price line and above the supply curve. These areas can be calculated by using the formula of area of a triangle which is
If the government imposed a price floor of $28 then the consumer surplus will be:
A = (1/2)×$40×($48 -$28)
A = $400
The producer surplus = ($28 -$20)×$40 + (1/2)×($20-$0)×($40 -$0)
The producer surplus = $8× $40 + $400 = $320+$400 = $720
Total surplus can be calculated as:
Total Surplus = Consumer surplus + Producer Surplus
Total Surplus = $400 + $720 = $1120
Total Surplus is $1120
Final answer:
A government-imposed price floor above the equilibrium price causes a surplus in the market, decreasing the consumer surplus and potentially altering the producer surplus, overall reducing the total economic surplus and market efficiency.
Explanation:
The student is asking about the economic impact of a government-imposed price floor that is above the equilibrium price in a market. In such a scenario, a price floor will lead to an excess supply, or surplus, because the increased price will decrease the quantity demanded while simultaneously increasing the quantity supplied. To determine the total economic surplus after a price floor is implemented, we need to understand that the total surplus is the sum of the consumer surplus and producer surplus. A price floor above equilibrium will almost surely decrease the consumer surplus, as consumers will have to pay higher prices, subsequently buying less of the good. The producer surplus might increase for those who can sell the good at the higher price, but it will be offset by a reduced volume of sales due to the lower quantity demanded. This leads to a decrease in total economic surplus, indicating a loss of economic efficiency in the market.

In your opinion, was it "unethical" for researchers to take (and profit from) Henrietta’s cells without her permission? Why? Why not? Should the Lacks family be given financial compensation in return for use of her cells? How would this financial compensation be determined? Who would pay?
Answer: its. Really unethical
Explanation:
Its very unethical for researchers to take and make profit from Henrietta's cell without her permission.
Because this is unwilling of her....and since the researchers has taken her cell sample already, and are already making profit from it
She and her family needs to be compensated, it might as well be said as the infringement of human right. This compensation can be determined by dividing the profits made by the researchers into half and given Henrietta and her family the other half..
Most like the research company or firm will pay the compensation and also the government.
Final answer:
The case of Henrietta Lacks raises ethical concerns about informed consent and financial compensation for the use of her HeLa cells in medical research. The cells, taken without permission, led to significant medical advancements, but her family has not profited financially. Compensation, if arranged, requires complex considerations and might involve multiple responsible entities.
Explanation:
The ethical dilemma posed by the case of Henrietta Lacks centers around the informed consent in medical research and the use of her cells without permission. Henrietta's unique cells, known as HeLa cells, taken during her treatment for cervical cancer, became vital to medical research, contributing to major discoveries, including the polio vaccine and advancements in cancer, AIDS, and COVID-19 research. Despite their wide commercial use, the Lacks family was not informed or compensated, raising issues of ethical responsibility, patient rights, and potential exploitation.
By today's standards, the lack of informed consent in Lacks's case is both unethical and illegal, raising the question of whether continued usage of her cells for research is ethical, particularly when obtained under now-defunct standards. The Lacks family was awarded control over the genetic sequence's publication in 2013, but questions remain, including whether Henrietta should be acknowledged as a contributor to research and if the Lacks family should receive financial compensation for the significant revenues generated from HeLa cells.
Determining the amount of financial compensation would be complex, involving factors such as the impact of HeLa cells on various medical advancements and the revenues earned specifically from their use. The responsibility for payment might involve a combination of institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and perhaps a dedicated fund to address historical ethical breaches in medical research.

Final answer:
To record the sale of Patel Products, Inc.'s delivery van, a journal entry with a debit to 'Accumulated Depreciation' for $18,000 and a debit to 'Cash' for $2,000, along with a credit to 'Delivery Van' for $20,000, is required. There is no gain or loss as the sale proceeds match the book value of the van.
Explanation:
On December 29, 2019, Patel Products, Inc., completed the sale of a delivery van. The journal entry for this transaction involves several accounts. The van had an original cost of $20,000 and after updating for accumulated depreciation, it had a remaining book value of $2,000 ($20,000 cost - $18,000 accumulated depreciation). Patel Products received $2,000 in cash, which equals the remaining book value, indicating that there is no gain or loss on the sale.
The journal entry to record the sale is as follows:
Debit 'Accumulated Depreciation' for $18,000 to remove the accumulated depreciation against the asset.
Debit 'Cash' for $2,000 to record the receipt of cash from the sale.
Credit 'Delivery Van' (vehicle asset account) for $20,000 to remove the van from the company's asset records.
Since the cash received equals the remaining book value of the van, there is no additional debit for loss or credit for gain in this transaction.
The January 28, 2017 (fiscal year 2016) financial statements of Caleres, Inc. reported the following information (in thousands). 2016 2015 Cost of sales $1,517,397 $1,529,527 Inventories, net 585,764 546,745 LIFO reserve 4,345 4,094 If Caleres had used the FIFO method of inventory costing, 2016 COGS would have been: A. $1,517,648 thousand B. $1,551,301 thousand C. $1,553,198 thousand D. $1,517,146 thousand E. None of the above
To convert Caleres, Inc.'s 2016 COGS from LIFO to FIFO, we add the change in the LIFO reserve ($251 thousand) to the LIFO COGS ($1,517,397 thousand). Thus, the FIFO COGS for 2016 would be (A) $1,517,648 thousand.
To determine Caleres, Inc.'s Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) under the FIFO inventory costing method for fiscal year 2016, we must consider the LIFO reserve adjustments. The LIFO reserve is an accounting measure used to adjust the value of inventory from LIFO (Last In, First Out) to FIFO (First In, First Out).
Given the data:
2016 Cost of sales (COGS) = $1,517,397 thousandLIFO reserve at the end of 2016 = $4,345 thousandLIFO reserve at the end of 2015 = $4,094 thousandThe change in LIFO reserve = 2016 LIFO reserve - 2015 LIFO reserve = $4,345 - $4,094 = $251 thousand
To convert from LIFO to FIFO, we add the change in the LIFO reserve to the LIFO cost of sales:
FIFO COGS = LIFO COGS + Change in LIFO reserve = $1,517,397 + $251 = $1,517,648 thousand
Therefore, if Caleres had used the FIFO method of inventory costing, the 2016 COGS would have been $1,517,648 thousand. The correct answer is A. $1,517,648 thousand.
Sensitivity analysis:A. is more difficult to conduct than simulation analysis.B. provides its user with the rate of return that corresponds to the project's IRR.C. is affected primarily by the interrelationships between project variables.D. indicate which variables need to be most closely monitored.E. provides limited information and therefore is rarely used in practice.
Answer: C. is affected primarily by the interrelationships between project variables
Explanation: Sensitivity Analysis is a study which helps identify the effects of a set of independent variables on some dependent variable under certain predetermined conditions. It aids in identifying the changes in a given variable. But doesn't consider probability of such a change occuring. It aids decision making due to information it provides from comparing variables in a project.

= process time/manufacturing cycle time
= 7/17.4
= 0.40
Therefore, The company's manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.40
Currently, Warren Industries can sell 15-year, $1,000-par-value bonds paying annual interest at a 12% coupon rate. Because current market rates for similar bonds are just under 12%, Warren can sell its bonds for $1 comma 050 each; Warren will incur flotation costs of $20 per bond. The firm is in the 22% tax bracket.A. CalCulate the bond's yield to maturity (YTM) to estimate the before-tax and after- tax cost of debt.
B. Use the approximation formula to estimate the before-tax and after-tax costs of debt.
Answer:
11.57% and 9.02%
Explanation:
For computing the before-tax and after- tax cost of debt we use the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,050 - $20 = $1,030
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 12% = $120
NPER = 15 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 11.57%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 11.57% × ( 1 - 0.22)
= 9.02%
On April 30, 2017, Tilton Products purchased machinery for $88,000. The useful life of this machinery is estimated at 8 years, with an $8,000 residual value. Assume that in its financial statements, Tilton Products uses straight-line depreciation and rounds depreciation for fractional years to the nearest month. Depreciation expense recognized on this machinery in 2017 and 2018 will be:
Answer:
$6,666.67 and $10,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2017 and 2018 is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($88,000 - $8,000) ÷ (8 years)
= ($80,000) ÷ (8 years)
= $10,000
Since the machinery is purchased on April 30 and we assume the books are closed on December 31 so the number of months calculated is 8 months
Therefore for the year 2017 the depreciation expense is
= $10,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months
= $6,666.67
And, for the year 2018 the depreciation expense is same i.e $10,000
The Depreciation expense recognized on this machinery in 2017 and 2018 will be: $6,667 ;$10,000.
Tilton Products Depreciation expense
2017 Depreciation expense=[($88,000 − $8,000)/8 ]×8/12
2017 Depreciation expense=($80,000/8)×8/12
2017 Depreciation expense= $10,000×8/12
2017 Depreciation expense= $6,667
2018 Depreciation expense=[($88,000 − $8,000)/8 ]
2018 Depreciation expense=($80,000/8)
2018 Depreciation expense= $10,000
Inconclusion the depreciation expense recognized on this machinery in 2017 and 2018 will be:$6,667 ; $10,000.

On February 1, 2021, Strauss-Lombardi issued 9% bonds, dated February 1, with a face amount of $860,000. The bonds sold for $786,220 and mature on January 31, 2041 (20 years). The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity was 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on July 31 and January 31. Strauss-Lombardi’s fiscal year ends December 31.Required: a. Prepare the journal entry to record their issuance by Strauss-Lombardi on February 1, 2013. b. Prepare the journal entry to record interest on July 31, 2013 (at the effective rate). c. Prepare the adjusting entry to accrue interest on December 31, 2013. d. Prepare the journal entry to record interest on January 31, 2014.
Answer:
cash 786,220 debit
discount on BP 73,780 debit
bonds payable 860,000 credit
--to record issuance of bonds below par--
interest expense 39311 debit
discount on BP 611 credit
cash 38700 credit
--to record first payment--
interest expense 39341.55 debit
amortization 641.55 credit
interest payable 38,700 credit
--to record accrued interest on Dec 31th--
interest payable 38,700 debit
cash 38,700 credit
--to record interest payment--
Explanation:
interest will be carrying value times market rate:
principal x rate x time
786,220 x 0.10 x 1/2 = 39,311
Then we compare agaisnt the actual cash outlay:
860,000 x 0.09 x 1/2 = 38,700
the difference is the amortization on the bond payable discount.
We adjust the caryring value:
786,220 - 611 = 785.609
and repeat the process.
The journal entries involve recording the bond issuance with debits to Cash and Discount on Bonds Payable, and a credit to Bonds Payable. Interest payments are recorded by debiting Interest Expense and crediting Cash and Discount on Bonds Payable. An adjusting entry to accrue interest involves debiting Interest Expense and crediting Interest Payable.

Explanation:
All of the following are conducive to economic growth except
A. a reliable banking system
B. an unfavorable balance of trade and payments
C. a strong stock market and a government that discourages corruption
D. government policies that encourage investment and competition
Answer:
B. an unfavorable balance of trade and payments
Explanation:
The BOP or the balance of trade is defined as the net gains or net exports that make the balance of payments and is said to be favorable when the country export more and imports less and is a positive change. It is said to be negative when the country imports more and exports less thus unfavorable in terms of the trade and payments. Hence it means that the country has a deficit and this can impact the services and is not good for the economic growth perspective.The U.S. government auctioning off oil leases at two sites: 1 and 2. At each site, 100,000 acres of land are to be auctioned. Cliff Ewing, Blake Barnes, and Alexis Pickens are bidding for the oil. Government rules state that no bidder can receive more than 40% of the land being auctioned. Cliff has bid $1,000/acre for site 1 land and $2,000/acre for site 2 land. Blake has bid $900/acre for site 1 land and $2,200/acre for site 2 land. Alexis has bid $1,100/acre for site 1 land and $1,900/acre for site 2 land. Formulate a balanced Consider the following network. (a) Formulate a balanced transportation model to maximize the government's revenue. (b) Find an initial solution by using northwest corner method. (c) Use the transportation simplex method to find an optimal solution using the bfs found in part (b).
The can now solve this linear programming problem using optimization software or the transportation simplex method to find the optimal allocation of acres to maximize revenue while satisfying the constraints. The initial solution can be found using the northwest corner method.
To formulate a balanced transportation model to maximize the government's revenue for the oil lease auction scenario, we need to set up a transportation problem with supply, demand, and cost coefficients.
Let's define the variables:
- Xij represents the number of acres awarded to bidder i at site j.
- i can be Cliff (C), Blake (B), or Alexis (A).
- j can be Site 1 (S1) or Site 2 (S2).
We have the following information:
1. Site 1 has 100,000 acres of land, and Site 2 has 100,000 acres of land.
2. No bidder can receive more than 40% of the land being auctioned at each site.
3. Cliff, Blake, and Alexis have their respective bids per acre for each site.
Now, let's set up the objective function to maximize revenue:
Maximize Z = 1000(CS1 + CS2) + 2000(CS2 + BS2) + 900(BS1 + AS1) + 2200(AS2) + 1100(AS1) + 1900(AS2)
Subject to the following constraints:
1. Supply constraints (total land available at each site):
- CS1 + BS1 + AS1 = 100,000 acres at Site 1
- CS2 + BS2 + AS2 = 100,000 acres at Site 2
2. Demand constraints (bidders can't receive more than 40% of each site):
- CS1 + CS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 1
- BS1 + BS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 1
- AS1 + AS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 1
- CS1 + CS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 2
- BS1 + BS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 2
- AS1 + AS2 ≤ 0.4 * 100,000 acres at Site 2
3. Non-negativity constraints:
- Xij ≥ 0 for all Xij
