Question: Recall the production model: Max 1 0 x s . t . 5 x < = 4 0 x > = 0 Suppose the firm

Recall the production model:
Max 10x
s.t.
5x <=40
x >=0
Suppose the firm in this example considers a second product that has a unit profit of $5 and requires 2 hours of labor time for each unit produced. Use y as the number of units of second product produced.
(a)
Show the mathematical model when both products are considered simultaneously.
Max
s.t.
x >=0, y >=0
(b)
Identify the controllable and uncontrollable inputs for this model. (Select all that apply.)
(i)
controllable
x
y
labor hours
labor availability
unit profit
(ii)
uncontrollable
x
y
labor hours
labor availability
unit profit
(c)
Draw the flowchart of the input-output process for this model. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.)

(d)
What are the optimal solution values of x and y?(Let P be total profit.)
x =
y =
P = $
(e)
Is the model developed in part (a) a deterministic or a stochastic model? Explain.
The uncontrollable inputs are
---Select---
and
---Select---
, so the model is
---Select---
.
