Question
Please help. Do not need EXCEL solver just the LP equation.

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 3 Radio Production and Workforce Management. Another electronics company needs
to produce at least 20,000 radios in a four week period. The revenue per unit sold in each week
is given below: The company initially has 40 workers which each produce 50 radios per week.

Week

Revenue (Euro) 20 18 16 14
It is possible to hire apprentice workers who will need to be trained. For training, up to three
apprentices are assigned to a single worker for one week. During this week, the worker produces
no radios. After the week all of the apprentices graduate to workers and begin to produce radios.
There is no limit to the number of apprentices to hire aside that every group of three apprentices
require an additional worker to train them.
A worker costs 200 euros per week while an apprentice costs only 100. Let x; be the number of
workers assigned to production of radios in week i, y; be the number of workers assigned to train
new apprentices in week i, and z; be the number of apprentices to hire in week i. Use these variables
to formulate a linear program which will maximize profit over the four weeks in question. Solve
the LP using Excel-solver and report both your LP and its optimal solution in your submission.
