Solve the following linear programming question using Excel. (20 Pts).
A company is involved in the production of two items (x and Y). The resources need
to produce x and Y are twofold, namely machine time for automatic processing and
craftsman time for hand finishing. The table below gives the number of minutes
required for each item:
The company has 40 hours of machine time available in the next working week but
only 35 hours of craftsman time. Machine time is costed at 10 per hour worked and
craftsman time is costed at 2 per hour worked. Both machine and craftsman idle
times incur no costs. The revenue received for each item produced (all production is
sold) is 20 for x and 30 for Y. The company has a specific contract to produce 10
items of x per week for a particular customer.
Formulate the problem of deciding how much to produce per week in order to achieve
the maximum profit as a linear program.
