2) The Judson Corporation has acquired 100 lots on which it is about to build homes. Two styles of homes are to be built, the "Cape Cod" and the "Ranch Home". Judson wishes to build these 100 homes over the next nine months. During this time, Judson will have available 13,000 man-hours of bricklayer labor and 12,000 hours of carpenter labor. Each Cape Cod requires 200 man-hours of carpentry labor and 50 man-hours of bricklayer labor. Each Ranch Home requires 120 hours of bricklayer labor and 100 man-hours of carpentry. The profit contribution of Cape Cod is projected to be $5100, whereas that of a Ranch Home is projected at $5000. a) Formulate the problem to maximize profit.

Should Judson change its planned mix of homes? What assumptions are inherent in your recommendationStep by Step Solution
