A company wishes to produce two types of souvenirs: Type A and Type B. Each Type A souvenir will result in a profit of $1, and each Type B souvenir will result in a profit of $1.20. To manufacture a Type A souvenir requires 2 minutes on Machine I and 1 minute on Machine II. A Type B souvenir requires 1 minute on Machine I and 3 minutes on Machine II. There are 3 hours available on Machine I and 5 hours available on Machine II. (a) The optimal solution holds if the contribution to the profit of a Type B souvenir lies between $ and $ . (Enter your answers from smallest to largest.) (b) Find the contribution to the profit of a Type A souvenir (with the contribution to the profit of a Type B souvenir held at $1.20), given that the optimal profit of the company will be $208.80. $ (c) What will be the optimal profit of the company if the contribution to the profit of a Type B souvenir is $2.00 (with the contribution to the profit of a Type A souvenir held at $1.00)? $

Let x is number of Type A souveners produced and y is number of Type B souveners produced.
Then total profit is given by the profit function P(x,y) = x+1.2y
This becomes our objective function which is to be maximized.
Now we restrict x and y to the given inequalities.
Total time taken on machine A = 2x+y 3
60 = 180 mins
2x+y
180
Total time taken on machine B = x+3y 5
60 = 300 mins
x+3y
300
Also x,y 0
The first two inequalities will be towards the side containing origin
Plotting these inequalities on graph, we will get optimal solution to the profit equation
