The Electrotech Corporation manufactures two industrial-sized electrical devices

Question

The Electrotech Corporation manufactures two industrial-sized electrical devices: generators and alternators. Both of these products require wiring and testing during the assembly process. Each generator requires 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of testing and can be sold for a $250 profit. Each alternator requires 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of testing and can be sold for a $150 profit. There are 260 hours of wiring time and 140 hours of testing time available in the next production period, and Electrotech wants to maximize profit. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem (note: you don

Explanation / Answer

Formulate an LP model for this problem.

X 1 = # of generators produced

X 2 = # of alternators producedMaximize Profits: 250X 1 + 150X

2 2X 1 + 3X 2 <= 260 (total wiring hours)

X 1 + 2X 2 <= 140 (total testing hours)

X 1 , X 2 >= 0 (non-negativit
