Question

A manufacturer has the capability to produce both chairs and tables. Both products use the same materials (wood, nails and paint) and both have a setup cost ($100 for chairs, $200 for tables). The firm earns a profit of $20 per chair and $65 per table and can sell as many of each as it can produce. The daily supply of wood, nails and paint is limited. To manage the decision-making process, an analyst has formulated the following linear programming model:

Max 20x1 + 65x– 100y1 – 200y2
s.t. 5x1 + 10x2 ≤ 100 {Constraint 1}
20x+ 50x2 ≤ 250 {Constraint 2}
1x+ 1.5x2 ≤ 10 {Constraint 3}
My1 ≥ x1 {Constraint 4}
My2 ≥ x2 {Constraint 5}
yi={1, if product j is produced0, otherwiseyi=1, if product j is produced0, otherwise

Which of the constraints limit the amount of raw materials that can be consumed?

 

A. Constraint 1

B. Constraint 4

C. Constraint 5

D. Constraint 1 and 4

E. Constraint 1, 2 and 3
