Question

A company makes two models of office chairs. The company's profit is $15 on each Model Q chair and $20 on each model R chair. To use linear programming to maximize profit, the company's finance officer developed this feasible region from the constraints on the company's resources and the pattern of demand for its products. The number of Model Q chairs to be made each week is represented by x, and y represents the number of Model R chairs to be made each week. How many of each model should the company make each week in order to maximize profit? 50 model Q 150 model R 100 model Q 100 model R 150 model Q 50 model R

Step 1

The profit from Model Q chairs is $15 each and the profit from Model R chairs is $20 each. Therefore, the objective function is: Profit = 15x + 20y Step 2: Write the constraints The constraints are based on the company's resources and demand for its products. Show more…
