Q:

Formulate but do not solve the following exercise as a linear programming problem.A company manufactures x units of product A and y units of product B, on two machines, I and II. It has been determined that the company will realize a profit of $2 on each unit of product A and $4 on each unit of product B. To manufacture a unit of product A requires 7 min on machine I and 3 min on machine II. To manufacture a unit of product B requires 9 min on machine I and 3 min on machine II. There are 154 min available on machine I and 66 min available on machine II in each work shift. How many units of a product should be produced in each shift to maximize the company's profit P?P =______ subject to the constraints.machine I ______.machine II _______.x = 0 ________.y = 0 _________.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:  Maximize the Objective Function2x + 4y = zSubject to:Machine L                  7x  + 9y  ≤ 154Machine LL                3x  + 3y  ≤ 66Step-by-step explanation:From problem statement :Let :x   units of product A per shifty   units of product B per shiftProfit on each A unit    2$Profit on each B unit    4$Product A needed  time in machine L   7 min   and  3 min in machine LLPoduct B needed  time in machine L   9 min   and 3  min in machine LLAvailable time  154 min machine L   66 min machine LL (by shift )Then: Objective function to maximize zz = 2x + 4y   ConstraintsMachine L                  7x  + 9y  ≤ 154Machine LL                3x  + 3y  ≤ 66
