Question

If Electrocomp decides that at least 20 air conditioners should be produced but no more than 80 fans should be produced, the optimal production mix of air conditioners and fans is __________. (The first number is for air conditioners and the second for fans.)

Answer 1

40 air conditioners

60 fans

Step-by-step explanation:

If the conditions are as follows:

Each air conditioner takes 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling.

Each fan must go through 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of drilling.

During the next production period, 240 hours of wiring time are available and up to 140 hours of drilling time may be used.

Each air conditioner sold yields a profit of $25.

Each fan assembled may be sold for a $15 profit.
