Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. Solve the following Linear Programing Model using Excel Solver
The Luzon Timber Corporation cuts raw timber, lauan, and tanguile, into
standard size planks. Two steps are required to make these planks from raw
timber: debarking and cutting. Each hundred feet of lauan takes 1 hour to
Each hundred feet of tanguile takes 1.5
hours to debark and 0.6 hours to cut. The bark removing machines can operate
up to 600 hours per week but the cutting machines are limited to 480 hours per
debark and 1.2 hours to cut.
week.
Luzon Timber can buy a maximum of 36,000 feet of raw lauan and 32,000 feet of
raw tanguile. If the profit per hundred feet of processed logs is P180 for
lauan and P200 for tanguile, how much lauan and tanguile should be bought
and processed by the corporation to maximize total profits? Formulate this
problem as a linear programming model.
