(Linear Objective Function and Optimization Application)

On a special occasion, renowned electronic giant retailer Best Buy sold a variety of TVs at a discounted prices or on huge sales.

 

Task-1: Write down an appropriate equation for the net profit function, P in order to account for the net profit made by Best Buy after selling:

(i) x-number of televisions (TVs) that made $250 profit on the sale of each SONY TVs

(ii) y-number of televisions that made $10,500 profit on the sale of each PHILIP TVs respectively, in that event.

 

Task-2: Profit margin, P as discussed in Task-1 was subject to the following constraints applied to the products.

a. Maximum cost price was $5000 to manufacture each piece of SONY TVs and $10,000 to manufacture each piece of PHILIP TVs respectively. All TVs were manufactured at a maximum cost of $10 x106 as given in Plot No 1: Plot No. 1: ($5000 x + $ 10000y) ≤ $10 million; Graph the Plot No. 1 up to the scale in a paper.

b. 10 and 150 employees worked to assemble x-number of SONY TVs and y-number of PHILIP TVs respectively, for a maximum of 46000 working hours as expressed below in Plot No. 2: Plot No. 2: (10x+150y) ≤ 46000; Graph the Plot No. 2 up to the scale in the same paper.

c. Relative demand of the SONY TVs and PHILIP TVs in the market was found to be in proportion as given below: Plot No. 3: y ≥ (x+30) 2 ; Graph the Plot No. 3 up to the scale in the same paper.

 

Task-3: Determine the optimal quantities of SONY TVs (x0) and Philip TVs (y0) that needed to be sold to maximize the profit (P) in this event that was subject to the constraints as mentioned above in Task-2.

 

Task-4: What is the maximum profit (PMax) that Best Buy could have made by selling x0 SONY TVs and y0 PHILIP TVs?
