Question: CARGO LOADING:

You are in charge of loading ships for the International Cargo Company (ICC) at a major east coast port. You have been asked to prepare a loading plan for an ICC freighter bound for Africa. An agricultural commodities dealer would like to transport the following products aboard this ship:

COMMODITY TONS AVAILABLE VOLUME/TON (FT 3 ) PROFIT/TON (5)
1 4000 40 70
2 3000 25 50
3 2000 60 60
4 1000 50 80

You can elect to load any or all of the available commodities. However, the ship has three cargo holds with the following capacity restrictions:

CARGO HOLD WEIGHT CAPACITY (TONS) VOLUME CAPACITY
(FT 3 )
FORWARD 3000 100,000
CENTER 5000 150,000
REAR 2000 120,000

More than one type of commodity can be placed in the same cargo hold. However, because of balance considerations, the weight in the forward cargo hold must be within 10 percent of the weight in the rear cargo hold, and the center cargo hold must be assigned between 40 and 60 percent of the total weight on board.
