Consider a chocolate manufacturing company which produces only two types of chocolate - A and B. Both the chocolates require Milk and Choco only. To manufacture each unit of A and B, following quantities are required: Each unit of A requires 1 unit of Milk and 3 units of Choco Each unit of B requires 1 unit of Milk and 2 units of Choco The company kitchen has a total of 5 units of Milk and 12 units of Choco. On each sale, the company makes a profit of CAD 6 per unit A sold CAD 5 per unit B sold. The company wishes to maximize its profit. 1. How many units of A and B should it produce respectively? 2. What is the maximum profit?

Step 1
The company has a total of 5 units of Milk and 12 units of Choco. This means that the number of units of A and B that can be produced is limited by these quantities. Let's denote the number of units of A produced as x and the number of units of B produced as y. Show more…

A chocolate making company largely produces one particular type of crunchy chocolate bar. Only one of two machines, Machine-1 or Machine-2, can be used to produce this chocolate bar on any given day. The maintenance costs incurred on these two machines per day are $100 and $120, respectively. The manufacturing cost per chocolate bar is $2.5 for Machine-1 and $2 for Machine-2. The maximum daily production capacities for Machine-1 and Machine-2 are 1100 and 1250, respectively. Demand requires that at least 1000 chocolate bars be produced per day. Develop and solve a binary integer programming model for minimizing the total cost. Write all the constraints and objective function. Solve using Solver and write the answer for how many chocolate bars to be produced by each machine and if machine 1 or 2 will be used for the minimum cost

Golden Tree Chocolate produces two main varieties of chocolate using the choicest premium Ghana cocoa. Kingsbite and Akuafo chocolate bars are produced mainly using milk and cocoa. Since the company earns GHC 300 from each box of Kingsbite chocolate and GHC 200 on each box of Akuafo chocolate, management has decided to ensure that the ratio of Kingsbite to Akuafo chocolate bars is not less than 1:2. Additionally, for the upcoming production month, it is envisaged that 75 gallons of milk and 120 tons of cocoa would be available for production. A box of Kingsbite requires 3/4 gallons of milk and 3/2 tons of cocoa. A box of Akuafo bars, on the other hand, requires 4 gallons of milk and 3/4 tons of cocoa to produce. Due to some contractual obligations, at least 60 boxes of chocolates must be produced. For the upcoming production month, the management of Golden Tree Chocolates wants to know how many boxes of each chocolate variety it needs to produce in order to maximize its profits.
