Question type: Module B Linear Programming
Each coffee table produced by Kevin Watson
Designers nets the firm a profit of $11. Each bookcase yields a $20
profit. Watsons firm is small and its resources limited. During
any given production period (of 1 week), 21 gallons of varnish
and 30 lengths of high-quality redwood are available. Each coffee
table requires approximately 1 gallon of varnish and 1 length of
redwood. Each bookcase takes 1 gallon of varnish and 2 lengths
of wood.
Formulate Watsons production-mix decision as a linear
programming problem, and solve.
How many tables and bookcases should be produced each week?
What will the maximum profit be?
