An alpine outdoor adventure center is placing an order for snowmobiles with its supplier,
WinterVan. They have four models they can be order:
(1) the 2-seater Mach 1
(2) the 2-seater Blizzard
(3) the 1-seater Powder,
(4) the 1-seater Snow Bunny
It is assumed that every snowmobile ordered will be sold, and their profits, respectively, are
4000, 3500, 3200, and 3000. The alpine adventure center would like to maximize their profit,
however they have several concerns to worry about. One of these is space to hold the inventory.
2-seater snowmobiles require 8 feet of space, 1-seaters require 6 feet. The store has 2500 feet of
space.
These machines come from WinterVan with “some assembly required.” The alpine store has 2000
hours of assembly time scheduled. The Mach 1 requires 12 hours of assembly time, the Blizzard
requires 10, the Powder requires 7 hours, and the Snow Bunny requires 6. The store would like to
place an order for at least 200 snowmobiles – with at least 5, but no more than 75 of any given
type.
Create a linear programming model for this problem and use it to answer the following questions:
a. How many of each kind of snowmobile should be ordered and what will the profit be?
b. Which resource should the company work to increase, inventory space or assembly time?
