Question

A company manufactures two products, A and B, on two machines. I and II. It has been determined that the company will realize a profit of $3/unit on produce A, and a profit of $4 unit on product B. To manufacture 1 unit of product A requires 6 mins on Machine I and 5mins on Machine II. To manufacture I unit of B requires 9 mins on machine I and 4 mins on machine II. There are 5 hr of machine time available on machine I and 3 hr of machine time available on machine II. How many units of each product should be produced in each shift to maximize the company's profit? What is the largest profit the company can realize? Is there any time left unused on the machines?

Explanation / Answer

Product A Machine I Machine II Profit per unit                                 3                            3 Time reqd per unit(min)                               6                            5 Avaialble time in min                           300                       180 Units can be produced in 1 shift                             50                         36 So maximum units of units A that can be produced                             36                         36 Profit per shift =36*3=$108 So for Prodcut A maximum profit per shift =$108 Product B Machine I Machine II Profit per unit                                 4                            4 Time reqd per unit(min)                               9                            4 Avaialble time in min                           300                       180 Units can be produced in 1 shift                       33.33                         45 So maximum units of units B that can be produced                       33.00                   33.00 Profit per shift =33*4=$132 So for Prodcut A maximum profit per shift =$132 The largest profit the cpmpany make is $132 by making product B If full shift is used for making product B , tehre will be (180-33.4)=48 mins left in Machine II.
