Minimizing Production Cost A factory produces gasoline engines and diesel engines. Each week the factory is obligated to deliver at least 20 gasoline engines and at least 15 diesel engines. Due to physical limitations, however, the factory cannot make more than 60 gasoline engines or more than 40 diesel engines in any given week. Finally, to prevent layoffs, a total of at least 50 engines must be produced. If gasoline engines cost $ 450 each to produce and diesel engines cost $ 550 each to produce, how many of each should be produced per week to minimize the cost? What is the excess capacity of the factory? That is, how many of each kind of engine are being produced in excess of the number that the factory is obligated to deliver?

Solution Summary: The author explains the minimum cost, excess capacity, and number of gasoline and diesel engines being produced in excess of the number that the factory is obligated to deliver.
Minimizing Production Cost A factory produces gasoline engines and diesel engines. Each week the factory is obligated to deliver at least
20
gasoline engines and at least
15
diesel engines. Due to physical limitations, however, the factory cannot make more than
60
gasoline engines or more than
40
diesel engines in any given week. Finally, to prevent layoffs, a total of at least
50
engines must be produced. If gasoline engines cost
$
450
each to produce and diesel engines cost
$
550
each to produce, how many of each should be produced per week to minimize the cost? What is the excess capacity of the factory? That is, how many of each kind of engine are being produced in excess of the number that the factory is obligated to deliver?
