1. [Model Formulation of Linear Programming - Manufacturing] The Electrocomp Corporation manufactures two electrical products: air conditioners and large fans. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 5 hours of wiring and 6 hours of drilling. Each fan must go through 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. During the next production period, 200 hours of wiring time are available and up to 120 hours of drilling time may be used. Each air conditioner sold yields a profit of $30. Each fan assembled may be sold for a $10 profit. Formulate this LP production-mix situation. (You do not have to solve this problem mathematically or using any software.)
