use a linear programming model to identify the optimal product mix using the following data:
Product Raw material(kg) Machine capacity(min) Labor capacity(min) Maximum average demand Profit of a unit ($)
A 0.250.350.831300004
B 0.050.550.60750003
C 0.170.230.79250006
D 0.070.791.31600012
E 0.110.140.381400002
The monthly available tea leaf (the raw material of the tea) is 35000 kilograms
The maximum capacity of the 7 lines is 250,000 box/month.
why arent we using the maximum profit numbers as the base of calculation for the Z and instead you used the avergage maximum demand numbers? so why did you use: maximize z: 13000xa ...and not maximize z: 4xa?
