Question

5. A glassblower makes glass decanters and glass trays on a weekly basis. Each item requires 1 pound of glass, and the glassblower has 15 pounds of glass available each week. A glass decanter requires 4 hours of labor, a glass tray requires only 1 hour of labor, and the glassblower works 25 hours a week. The profit from a decanter is $50, and the profit from a tray is $10. The glassblower wants to determine the total number of decanters 1 x 1 2 and trays 1 x 2 2 that he needs to produce in order to maximize his profit. a. Formulate an integer programming model for this problem.b. Solve this model by using the computer.

Explanation / Answer

Answer: Below is the solution using computer.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int dn = 0;
    int tn = 0;
   
    int x1 = 0;
    int x2 = 0;
    int profit = 0;
   
    for(int i = 1; i <= 15; i++)
           {
               dn = i;
               tn = 15 - i;
               if((dn*4 + tn) > 25)
                   continue;
                   
               if((dn*50 + tn*10) > profit)
                   {
                   profit = dn*50 + tn*10;
                   x1 = dn;
                   x2 = tn;
                   }
           }
    cout << "Decanters: " << x1 <<endl << "Trays: " << x2 << endl;
    cout << "Profit: " << profit<< endl << endl;
   
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

**3 Decanter, 12 Trays, $270**
