### Problem B.11: Production-Mix DecisionEach coffee table produced by Kevin Watson Designers nets the firm a profit of $9. Each bookcase yields a $12 profit. Watson’s firm is small, and its resources are limited. During any given production period (of 1 week), 10 gallons of varnish and 12 lengths of high-quality redwood are available. Each coffee table requires approximately 1 gallon of varnish and 1 length of redwood. Each bookcase takes 1 gallon of varnish and 2 lengths of wood.**Task:** Formulate Watson’s production-mix decision as a linear programming problem, and solve it. Determine how many tables and bookcases should be produced each week and calculate the maximum profit. [PX]**Detailed Analysis:**- **Resource Constraints:** - Varnish: 10 gallons available - Redwood: 12 lengths available- **Product Requirements:** - Coffee Table: - 1 gallon of varnish - 1 length of redwood - Profit: $9 - Bookcase: - 1 gallon of varnish - 2 lengths of redwood - Profit: $12**Objective:** Maximize profit by determining the optimal number of coffee tables and bookcases that can be produced within the given resource constraints.

Exercise 2: The demand per year (D) for product X is 12,100 units. The costs of placing an order (S) are $4.50. The unit cost (C) of the item is $25.00. The maintenance cost (H) per unit per year is 30% of the item's cost. 1. Use the economic order quantity (EOQ) model to determine: *Optimal quantity to order* The expected number of orders*Optimal time between orders*The total annual cost of maintaining that optimal amountNOTE: Show calculations of how you arrived at each amount 2. Answer, what are the potential benefits of using EOQ analysis for inventory management? How can you help businesses strike a balance between inventory holding costs and ordering costs?
