A company produces two types of leather belts A and B. A is of superior quality and B is of inferior quality. The respective profits are Rs.10 and Rs.5 per belt. The supply of raw material is sufficient for making 850 belts per day. For belt A, a special type of buckle is required and 500 are available per day. There are 700 buckles available for belt B per day. Belt A needs twice as much time as the that required for belt B and the company can produce 500 belts if all of them were of the type A. Formulate the LP model for the above problem and solve by graphical method

Answer 1

Answer:

A is a superior quality and belt B is of a lower quality. Profits on each type of belt are Rs 2 and Rs 1.50 per belt, respectively. Each belt of type A requires twice as much time as required by a belt of type B. If all belts were of type B, the company could produce 1000 belts per day.
