(a)
To calculate: The number of lacrosse sticks of each type should be manufactured to maximize the total profit, the maximum profit by simplex method and the chart which is as shown below, shows the labor requirements and profits for each type of lacrosse stick.
Attack | Defense | |
Cutting | 2 labor-hours | 1 labor-hours |
Stringing | 1 labor-hours | 3 labor-hours |
Finishing | 2 labor-hours | 2 labor-hours |
Profit | $16 | $20 |
Each day, the company has the availability 120 labor-hours for cutting, 150 labor-hours for stringing, and 140 labor-hours for finishing.
