Question

The following linear programming problem has been written to plan the production of two products. The company wants to maximize its profits. LaTeX: X_1=X 1 = number of product 1 produced in each batch LaTeX: X_2=X 2 = number of product 2 produced in each batch MAX: LaTeX: 150\:X_1+250\:X_2150 X 1 + 250 X 2 Subject to: LaTeX: 2\:X_1+5\:X_2\le2002 X 1 + 5 X 2 ≤ 200 LaTeX: 3\:X_1+7\:X_2\le1753 X 1 + 7 X 2 ≤ 175 LaTeX: X_1,\:X_2\ge0X 1 , X 2 ≥ 0 How much profit is earned per each unit of product 2 produced?

Answer 1

250

Explanation:

It appears your profit function is ...

150x1 +250x2

This tells us the profit for each unit of product 2 is 250.
