Question

A furniture company is producing three types of furniture. Product A requires 7 board feet of wood and 4 lbs of wicker. Product B requires 5 board feet of wood and 5 lbs of wicker. Product C requires 4 board feet of wood and 3 lbs of wicker. There are 3000 board feet of wood available for product and 1400 lbs of wicker. Product A earns a profit margin of $35 a unit, Product B earns a profit margin of $42 a unit, and Product C earns a profit margin of $20 a unit. Formulate the problem as a linear program.

Answer 1

Explanation:

this is a linear programming problem, and we are expected to draw up the linear program for the solution of the problem.

The objective function is

Maximize

35A+42B+20C=P

subject to constraints(board and wicker)

The constraints are

board

7A+5B+4C=3000

wicker

4A+5B+3C=1400

A>0, B>0, C>0
