Because of a backlog of orders for model A grates, Kane's manager had decided to produce at least 150 of these grates a day. Operating under this additional constraint, how many grates of each model should Kane produce to maximize profit? (x,y)= What is the optimal profit?
Kane Manufacturing has a division that produces two models of fireplace grates, x units of model A and y units of model B. To produce each model A grate requires 3 lb of cast iron and 6 min of labor. To produce each model B grate requires 4 lb of cast iron and 3 min of labor. The profit for each model A grate is $4.00, and the profit for each model B grate is $3.50. Also, 1000 lb of cast iron and 20 labor-hours are available for the production of fireplace grates per day.
