UB-sweets” produces only two types of chocolate: A and B. Both the chocolates require Milk and Coco-powder only. To manufacture each unit of A and B, the following quantities are required:
Each unit of A requires 1 unit of Milk and 3 units of Coco-powder
Each unit of B requires 1 unit of Milk and 2 units of Coco-powder
UB has a total of 5 units of Milk and 12 units of Coco-powder. On each sale, UB makes a profit of
$6 per unit A sold
$5 per unit B sold.
If UB wishes to maximize its profit, how many units of A should it produce?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s construct the table to represent the problem
Milk
Choco
Profit per unit
A
1
3
6
B
1
2
5
Total
5
12
Let X is total number of units produced by A
Let Y is total number of units produced by A
and Z is the total profit
how to calculate the total profit of the company
just multiply the total number of units A and B produced and Per unit profit
6 and 5 respectively
so
Profit
Max Z=6X+5Y
That means we need to maximize the profit z
The company will try to maximize the profit by producing as many as units of A and B
but the problem is Milk and Choco resources are limited
from the table,
A and B need 1 unit of Milk
But the Milk is available only 5 units
how to represent this in mathematically
X+Y<=5
And also
each unit of A, B need 3 , 2 units of choco
but total amount of choco is only 12 units
again
represent it mathematically
3X+2Y<=12
A can only integer value
and we have 2 more constraints
X>=0
Y>=0
If the company wants to make maximum profit, they should satisfy the inequalities mentioned
Hope it helps you.
