Almost at most 34 hours of labor are to be utilized .2Kg of r1 are needed for each model X and 1Kg of r1 for each model Y. For each model of X and Y, 1Kg of r2 is required. It needs 3 hours to manufacture modelX and 2 hours to manufacture modelY. The profit realized is $50 per unit from model X and $30 per unit from model Y. How many units of each model should be produced to maximize the profit?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, in at most 34 hours of labour, a maximum of 11 units of X can be manufactured. Now, 2 hours is required for manufacturing one unit of Y. Hence, in at most 34 hours of labour, a maximum of 17 units of Y can be manufactured. (50*11+30*17) = 1060
