A manufacturer produces two models of racing bike, X and Y, each of which must be processed through two machine shops. Machine shop 1 is available for 100 hours per month and machine shop 2 for 160 hours per month. The manufacture of each bike of type X takes 6 hours in shop 1 and 3 hours in shop 2. The corresponding times for Y are 4 and 10 hours respectively. If the profit is $160 and $200 per bike of type X and Y respectively, how should the manufacturer arrange production to maximize total profit?

Suppose that a small company produces two different models of kayaks. A larger model and smaller model. The larger model requires 2 hours of manufacturing, 2 hours for assembly and 3 hours for packaging. The smaller model requires 2 hours for manufacturing, 1 hour for assembly and 2 hours for packaging. Each week the company has 120 hours available for manufacturing, 80 hours available for assembly and 132 hours available for packaging. If the company makes a profit of $75 for each of the larger model manufactured and profit of $60 for each smaller model manufactured, how many of each model should the company produce in order to maximize profit ?
Bexter Labs produces three products: A, B, and C.Bexter can sell up to 2000 units of product A, up to 3000 units of product B, and up to 5000 units of prod-uct C. Each unit of product C uses two units of A and three units of B and incurs $7 in processing costs. Prod-ucts A and B are produced from either raw material 1 or raw material 2. It costs $9 to purchase and process one unit of raw material 1. Each processed unit of raw mate-rial 1 yields two units of A and four units of B. It costs $5 to purchase and process a unit of raw material 2.Each processed unit of raw material 2 yields one unit ofA and three units of B. The unit prices for the products are: A, $10; B, $9; and C, $32. The quality levels ofeach product are: A, 7; B, 9; and C, 6. The average quality level of the units sold must be at least 8. Deter-mine how to maximize Bexter’s profit.
