Question 3. (20 points) Robin Tires, Inc. makes two types of tires, for SUVs and Hatch- backs. The firm has 500 hours of production time, 250 hours of packaging, and 150 hours available for shipping. The production time required per tire type is given in the following table: Production Hours Type Production Packaging Shipping Profit/Tire SUV Tires 2 1.5 1 $22 Hatchback Tires 1.5 1 0.5 $12 Develop a linear programming model (define the components; variables, objective function, constraints, and sign constraints) that determines the production quantities for the two types of tires that maximizes the total profit contribution. Decision variables should be clearly defined. You just need to set up the model. Do not solve the model
