Problem This problem was originally designed and solved by one of the course TAs, Amr AllamA small manufacturer of concrete slabs produces two types of slabs. It wants to determine how many slabs of each type X of type and X of type to produce over the coming period to maximize profit. Each type of slab passes through three manufacturing processes A B and C Information related to the required hours for manufacturing and the available manhour for each process is as follows:Slab type needs manhours of process A hours of process B and hour of process C while slab type needs hours of process A hours of process B and hour of process C The profits from manufacturing and selling the slabs are: $slab type and $slab type The total manhour available for the processes are: A hrB hr and C hrThe market research team in the company dictates that at most no more than standard slabs of X type could be produced over the coming period.i Tabulate the data;ii Develop a linear programming model that will enable the company to maximize its profit;iii Find the optimal solution using graphical method,iv Find the optimal solution if the profits were: $slab type and $slab type
