Th
have $150,000 available to purchase additional equipment and 250 square feet of floor space to
install the new equipment. They can purchase a lathe, a press, a grinder, a metal bender, a shearing
table, or some combination of the above. The company can only purchase one of each item, but they
Manufacturing Company is looking to expand their production capabilities. They
may purchase as many of items as they can afford.
The cost and square footage for each machine is detailed in the table below.
Name
Cost
Square Footage
Lathe (x1)
$45,000
50 sq ft
Press (x2)
$65,000
80 sq ft
Grinder (x3)
$30,000
120 sq ft
Metal Bender (x4)
$75,000
70 sq ft
Shearing Table (x5)
$15,000
80 sq ft
The company estimates they can generate a profit each day from each piece of equipment of $800
from the lathe, $600 from the press, $1,400 from the grinder, $1.200 from the metal bender, and
$400 from the shearing table.
Unfortunately, the manufacturing company only has the safety permit to install the lathe or metal
bender so both of those can not be installed.
Will the Decision Variables in this problem be continuous, binary, integers, or is there not enough
information to determine?
Binary
O Continuous
