Question
Maxwell Manufacturing makes two models of felt-tip marking pens. Requirements for each lot of pens are given below.
Fliptop Model | Tiptop Model | Available | |
---|---|---|---|
Plastic | 3 | 4 | 50 |
Ink assembly | 5 | 4 | 58 |
Molding time | 5 | 2 | 46 |
The profit for either model is $1,000 per lot. (Assume F is the number of lots of Fliptop pens to produce and T is the number of lots of Tiptop pens to produce.)
What is the linear programming model for this problem to maximize total profit contribution in dollars?

Bond A yields an average of 8% and the bond B yields 7%. The investor requires that at least 5 times as much money be invested in bond A as in bond B. You must invest in these bonds to maximize his return. This can be set up as a linear programming problem. Introduce the decision variables: x= dollars invested in bond Ay= dollars invested in bond B Compute x+y. $ . Round to the nearest cent. Investor Matt has $152,000 to invest in bonds.

- Formulate but do not solve the following exercise as a linear programming problem.A company manufactures x units of Product A and y units of Product B, on two machines, I and II. It has been determined that the company will realize a profit of $3 on each unit of Product A and $5 on each unit of Product B. To manufacture a unit of Product A requires 5 min on Machine I and 5 min on Machine II. To manufacture a unit of Product B requires 9 min on Machine I and 5 min on Machine II. There are 269 min available on Machine I and 205 min available on Machine II in each work shift. How many units of a product should be produced in each shift to maximize the company's profit P in dollars? Maximize P = subject to the constraints Machine I Machine II x ≥ 0 y ≥ 0arrow_forward5.
