A factory manufactures three products, A, B, and C. Each product requires the use of two machines, Machine I and Machine II. The total hours available, respectively, on Machine I and Machine II per month are 7,050 and 7,720. The time requirements and profit per unit for each product are listed below:
How many units of each product should be manufactured to maximize profit, and what is the maximum profit?
Start by setting up the linear programming problem, with A, B, and C representing the number of units of each product that are produced.
Maximize P =
subject to:
<= 7,050
<= 7,720
Enter the solution below. If needed round numbers of items to 1 decimal place and profit to 2 decimal places.
The maximum profit is $
when the company produces:
units of product A
units of product B
units of product C
