LP2. Construct a model with an objective function, decision variables, and constraints. Set it up on Excel Solver with values and run it. Do the results make sense? Tell me why. You run two manufacturing lines for a car company that makes four different models. This is a mix of cars and light trucks. You want to maximize revenue while satisfying demand. The facility has a max liit on annual production with each vehicle having a cost and selling price. In addition to production, the company must compy with fuel consumption standards under various energy policies and national laws (E.g., the average MPG of your production must be at or below 40 MPG - the 2026 standard. Assume that each car model mileage is the same.)
Price Cost Rev MPG Prod time (hrs) Line Min demand
Corolla (X1) 24,000 15,000 9,000 42 2 1 300
Avalon (X2) 60,000 23,000 37,000 39 2 1 300
Tundra (X3) 50,000 25,000 25,000 35 3 2 300
RAV4 (X4) 35,000 20,000 15,000 41 2.5 2 750
Total Production Timeline 1 2,500
Total Production Timeline 2 2,300
