A Firm makes “Easyrider” motorcycles and “Roughrider” motorcycles at two different Garages. Garage A produces 16 Easyrider and 20 Roughrider motorcycles in one day while Garage B produces Twelve (12) “Easyrider” and Twenty (20) “Roughrider” motorcycles daily. It costs $1000/day to operate Garage A and $800/day to operate Garage B. At least 96 “Easyrider” motorcycles and at least 140 “Roughrider” motorcycles are expected to be produced. Also, Garage B is part of a powerful Union and requires that the factory must be open for at least 2 days. How many days should each factory be operated on in order to minimize cost? What is the minimum cost?

Let X = the number day Garage A is operated

Let Y = the number day Garage B is operated

What is the objective function? Minimize

X + y ≥ 96 x + y ≥ 140

Subject to? (What are the limitations inequalities?)

Easyrider: 16

Roughrider: y

Garage B:

Provide a display of interacting Limitation (You can graph by hand or use Technology). Limitations can be easily simplified and allow straightforward graphing.
