A television manufacturer makes rear-projection andplasma televisions. The profit per unit is $125 for the rear-projection televisions and $200 for the plasma televisions.
a. Lei.
b. The manufacturer is bound by the following constraints:
• Equipment in the factory allows for making at most450 rear-projection televisions in one month.
• Equipment in the factory allows for making at most200 plasma televisions in one month.
• The cost to the manufacturer per unit is $600 for therear-projection televisions and $9DC for the plasmatelevisions. Total monthly costs cannot exceed$360,000.
Write a system of three inequalities that describes theseconstraints.
c. Graph the system of inequalities in pan (b). Use only the first quadrant and its boundary, because x and vmust both he nonnegative. 1
d. Evaluate the objective function for total monthly profitat each of the five vertices of the graphed region. [Thevertices should occur at (0,0), (0,200). (300,200),(450,100), and (450.0).] *
e. Complete the missing portions of this statement: Thetelevision manufacturer will make the greatest profit by
manufacturing 300 rear projection televisions
each month and
month. The maximum monthly profit is $77,500

- At the Pizza Dude restaurant, a 12-in. pizza costs 5.40 to make, and the manager wants to make at least 4.80 from the sale of each pizza. If the pizza will be sold by the slice and each pizza is cut into 6 pieces, what is the minimum charge per slice?arrow_forwardIf during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.arrow_forwardIf you are performing a break-even analysis for a business and their cost and revenue equations are dependent, explain what this means for the company's profit margins.arrow_forward
