Maximize 20X1 + 25X2 + 10X3 + 15X4 Total Profit

Subject to X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 > 150 At least a total of 150 units of all four products are needed

X1 + 3X2 + 2X3 + 2X4 ≤ 400 Resource 1

2X1 + X2 + 2X3 + X4 ≤ 280 Resource 2

And X1, X2, X3, X4 ≥ 0

 

Where X1, X2, X3 and X4 represent the number of units of Product 1, Product 2, Product 3 and Product 4 to be manufactured.

 

 

 

 

The Excel Solver output for this problem is given below.

 

 

 

 

 

(a) Determine the optimal solution and the optimal value for this problem and interpret their meanings.

(b) Determine the slack (or surplus) value for each constraint in this problem and interpret its meaning.
