Please may I have some help with this extended response homework question. Answer Must be Solved Graphically Otherwise It's wrong. Kind Regards, Ford Hirst.
Problem 3. A fitter produces two types of fitting products-product A and product B using a cutting machine (cutter) and a grinding machine (grinder). Product A requires 4 hours of the cutter and 8 hours of the grinder; product B requires 6 hours of the cutter and 4 hours of the grinder. The cutter has processing hours of at most 300 hours and at least 200 hours. The grinder has maximum processing time of 250 hours. The cost involved in the production of product A is 8 and of product B is 12. The fitter expects that the combined production for products A and B must total at least 50 units. The fitter wants to determine the number of units of product A(x1) and product B(x2) that will minimize the cost of manufacturing. c. How many hours of the cutter's time are used? Does it have any leftover time? (30 Marks) d. If the fitter is able to reduce the cost of product A from 8 to 6 and product B from 12 to 9, what will be the impact of cost reduction on the optimal answers? (20 Marks)Step by Step Solution
