Patz Company produces two types of machine parts: Part A and Part B, with unit contribution margins of $100 and $200, respectively. Assume initially that Patz can sell all that is produced of either component. Part A requires two hours of assembly, and B requires five hours of assembly. The firm has 100 assembly hours per week. Required: 1. Express the objective of maximizing the total contribution margin subject to the assembly-hour constraint. Objective function: Max Z = $100 A+ $200 B Subject to: 2 A+ 5 Bs 100 2. Identify the optimal amount that should be produced of each machine part. If none of the components should be produced, enter "O" for your answer. Component A Component B 50 units 0 units Identify the total contribution margin associated with this mix. 3. What if market conditions are such that Patz can sell at most 25 units of Part A and 20 units of Part B? Express the objective function with its associated constraints for this case.
