Explanation Given Information: The provided information is as follows, “A furniture manufacturer makes two types of furniture- chairs and sofa. Manufacture of chair requires 6 hours of carpentry, 1 hour of finishing, and 2 hours of upholstery where manufacture of sofa requires 3 hours of carpentry, 1 hour of finishing, and 6 hours of upholstery. The factory has 96 labor-hours for carpentry, 18 labor-hours of finishing and 72 labor-hours of upholstery and the profit per chair is $60 and for sofa $70.” Formula Used: To find the maximum and minimum value of objective function follow the given steps: 1)Translate the linear programming problem into mathematical language and graph the feasible solution set. 3) Determine the vertices of the feasible solution set obtained. 4) Find the value of objective function at each vertex and determine the feasible set. 5) Interpret the result. Addition property: For any real numbers a, b and c, if a = c , then a + b = c + b . Multiplication property: For any real numbers a, b and c ≠ 0 , if a = c , then a ⋅ b = c ⋅ b . Calculation: Make a table according to the given condition as: Chair Sofa Available time Carpenter 6 hours 3 hours At most 96 hours Finishing 1 hour 1 hours at most 18 hours Upholstery 2 hours 6 hours at most 72 hours Profit $150 $70 Let number of chairs be x and number of sofas be y. Total profit is: 60 x + 70 y From the table, For carpentry the inequality is: 6 x + 3 y ≤ 96 For finishing, the inequality is: x + y ≤ 18 For upholstery the inequality is: 2 x + 6 y ≤ 72 The inequalities in standard form are: y ≤ − 2 x + 32 y ≤ − x + 18 y ≤ − 1 3 x + 12 x ≥ 0 , y ≥ 0 Assume the inequality as equation to find coordinate pairs. Now to find the intersection point of y = − 2 x + 32 and y = − x + 18 , equate the values of y , − 2 x + 32 = − x + 18 Apply the addition principle and add x on both sides of the equation. − 2 x + 32 = − x + 18 − 2 x + 32 + x = − x + x + 18 − x + 32 = 18 Apply the addition principle and add − 32 on both sides of the equation. − x + 32 = 18 − x + 32 + ( − 32 ) = 18 + ( − 32 ) − x = − 14 x = 14 Put this value x = 14 in y = − x + 18 to get, y = − x + 18 y = − 14 + 18 y = 4 The intersection point is ( 14 , 4 ) . Now to find the intersection of y = − 1 3 x + 12 and y = − x + 18 , equate the values of y , − 1 3 x + 12 = − x + 18 Apply the addition principle and add x on both sides of the equation. − 1 3 x + 12 = − x + 18 − 1 3 x + 12 + x = − x + x + 18 − x + 3 x 3 + 12 = 18 2 x 3 + 12 = 18 Apply the addition principle and add − 12 on both sides of the equation
