A certain company makes 2 models of motorcycles, model 2A and model 2B. Both models pass through assembling and painting. A model 2A motorcycle needs 4 hours for in assembling and 3 hours in painting. A model 2B motorcycle needs 8 hours in assembling and 12 hours in painting. Machines in assembling are available for 64 hours, while those in painting, 72 hours. The profit for each model 2A motorcycle is P2700 and P3600 for a model 2B motorcycle. How many model 2A and 2B motorcycles must be manufactured to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit?   Solve by graphing Correct objective function and constraints Correct Process (conversion-determining points – verifying at point (0,0)  Correct graphand correct values and interpretation of x, y, and z

  1. Solve by graphing
  • Correct objective function and constraints
  • Correct Process (conversion-determining points – verifying at point (0,0) 
  • Correct graphand correct values and interpretation of x, y, and z 

 

  1. Using Simplex method
  • Correct placement of values of the first matrix
  • Correct process and complete solution (determining the pivot row, column, and element, reduction of row)
  • Correct values of x, y, and z
