Production scheduling At one of its factories, a jeans manufacturer makes two styles: #891 and #917. Each pair of style 891 takes 10 minutes to cut out and 20 minutes to assemble and finish. Each pair of style 917 takes 10 minutes to cut out and 30 minutes to assemble and finish. The plant has enough workers to provide at most 7500 minutes per day for cutting and at most 19,500 minutes per day for assembly and finishing. The profit on each pair of style 891 is $18.00, and the profit on each pair of style 917 is $22.50. How many pairs of each style should be produced per day to obtain maximum profit? Find the maximum daily profit.

- The manufacturer of a weight training bench spends $15 to build each bench and sells them for $32. The manufacturer also has fixed costs each month of $25,500. (a) Find the cost function C when x benches are manufactured. (b) Find the revenue function R when x benches are sold. (c) Show the break-even point by graphing both the Revenue and Cost functions on the same grid. (d) Find the break-even point. Interpret what the break-even point means.arrow_forwardA company produces two types of tables, Round and Square. It takes 2 hours to produce the parts of one unit of Round, 1 hour to assemble and 2 hours to polish. It takes 4 hours to produce the parts of one unit of Square, 2.5 hour to assemble and 1.5 hours to polish. Per month, 7000 hours are available for producing the parts, 4000 hours for assembling the parts and 5500 hours for polishing the tables. The profit per unit of Round is $90 and per unit of Square is $110. Due to an old contract with a supplier, the number of Round tables must be less than 40% the number of Square tables. How many of each type of tables should be produced in order to maximize the total monthly profit? Solve using MS Excel Solver, and round you answer to the nearest whole number.arrow_forward
