Q2) A plant manufactures two prducts A and B The profit of each product has been estimated as $20 for product A and $24 for product B . Each product passes through three departments of the plant. The time required for each product and total time available in each departments as follows : Department | product A | product B | Available hours during the month --- | --- | --- | --- 1 | 2 | 3 | 1500 2 | 3 | 2 | 1500 3 | 1 | 1 | 600 The company has a contract to supply at least 250 unit of product B per month 1) Formulate the linear programming. 2) Find graphicaly the optimal manufacturing plan so that the total profit wii be maximum.

Step 1
Step 2: Write the objective function The objective is to maximize the total profit, which is given by the equation: Total Profit = 20x + 24y Step 3: Write the constraints The constraints are given by the time required for each product in each department and the Show more…

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 6,370 and 10,000. The time requirements and profit per unit for each product are listed below. Product Machine I Machine II Profit A 5 10 $8 B 8 10 $11 C 9 14 $13 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 = 8A + 11B + 13C subject to: 5A + 8B + 9C ≤ 6,370 10A + 10B + 14C ≤ 10,000 Enter the solution below. If needed, round numbers of items to 1 decimal place and profit to 2 decimal places. The maximum profit is $X when the company produces X units of product A, X units of product B, and X units of product C.

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: ≤ 6,120 ≤ 7,790 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

2. A company manufactures backyard swing sets of two different sizes. The larger set requires 5 hours of labor to complete, the smaller set requires 2 hours, and there are 700 hours of labor available each week. The packaging department can package at most 185 swing sets per week. The profit is $100 on each larger set and $50 on each smaller set. a) Construct the linear programming model for the problem. Assume that the company wants to maximize its profit. b) How many of each backyard swing sets should be produced to yield the maximum profit? Use the method of corners to solve the linear programming problem. c) What is the maximum profit?
