Question: The linear programming problem below describes the daily production process to determine the number of units of product 1 ( x 1 ) , product

The linear programming problem below describes the daily production process to determine the number of units of product 1(x1), product 2(x2), and product 3(x3) that should be manufactured in order to maximize the total daily profit. The company operates 12 hours (720 minutes) per day (constraint 1) and uses two types of materials in the production: wood and steel (constraints 2 and 3). Furthermore, constraint 4 describes the market requirement for products 1 and 3. At the optimal solution, which of the resources will have a basic slack variable?
Maximize Profit Z=30x1+20x2+36x3
Subject to:
Production time (minutes): 2x1+x2+3x3720
Wood (lbs.): 1.5x1+x2+2x3600
Steel (Ibs.): 8x1+3x2+10x33000
Demand: x1+x3200
x1,x2,x30
Labor time
