Just make the linear programming model of the next exercise: A company manufactures and sells two lamp models L1 and L2. For its manufacture, a manual work of 30 minutes is needed for the L1 model and 45 minutes for the L2, and a machine work of 25 minutes for L1 and 15 minutes for L2. 150 hours per month are available for manual work and 120 hours per month for the machine. Knowing that profit per unit is $150 and $100 for L1 and L2 respectively, plan production to maximize profit. Please be as clear as possible and show all the steps. Thank you very much
4. A manufacturer must decide how many chairs and tables to produce in a given week. It takes 2 hours to construct a chair and 3 hours to construct a table. The finishing process requires 2 hours for each chair and 2 hours for each table. There are 36 work hours available for construction and 28 work hours available for finishing. If the profit is $15 per chair and $25 per table, how many of each should be produced to maximize profit? Define your variables. HO 8 Find the Profit or Objective Function.

5. A small business enterprise makes dresses and trousers. To make a dress, it requires ½ hour of cutting and 20 minutes of stitching. To make a trouser, it requires 15 minutes of cutting and hour of stitching. The profit on a dress is N$40 and on a pair of trousers N$50. The business operates for a maximum of 8 hours per day Determine how many dresses and trousers should be made to maximize profit and what the maximum profit is. O A The maximum profit is N$800, 10 dresses and 8 trousers OB The maximum profit is N$850, 12 dresses and 6 trousers OC The maximum profit is N$860, 12 dresses and 6 trousers OD The maximum profit is N$880, 12 dresses and 8 trousers
Explain important characteristics of situations to which linear programming method can be successfully applied. Assume a suitable example A firm manufactures three products A, B, and Time to manufacture product A is twice that for B and thrice that for C and if the entire labour is engaged in making product A, 1,600 units of this product can be produced. These products are to be produced in the ratio 3:4:5. There is demand for at least 300, 250 and 200 units of products A, B and C and the profit earned per unit is sh. 90, sh. 40 and sh. 30 respectively. Table Raw material Requirement per unit of product (kg) Total availability (kg) A B C P 6 5 2 5,000 Q 4 7 3 6,000 Formulate the problem as a linear programming problem.
