Question

The operations manager of a mail order house purchases double (D) and twin (T) beds for resale. Each double bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space. Each twin bed costs $300 and requires 90 cubic feet of storage space. The manager has $75,000 to invest in beds this week, and her warehouse has 18,000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each double bed is $300 and for each twin bed is $150. The manager's goal is to maximize profits.

Required:
What is not a feasible solution?

Answer 1

Please see below for answer

Step-by-step explanation:

It would not be feasible to invest the entire $75,000 amount on making double beds. Although the profit margin for the double beds is twice that of twin beds, it also requires more storage space and the market demand for double beds may not be as high as the twin beds. Hence, making double beds and ignoring twin beds completely might not make as much profit due to not being sold to begin with.
