Chapter 5.3, Problem 1MP

A manufacturing plant makes two types of inflatable boats––a two-person boat and a four-person boat. Each two-person boat requires 0.9 labor-hour from the cutting department and 0.8 labor-hour from the assembly department. Each four-person boat requires 1.8 labor-hours from the cutting department and 1.2 labor-hours from the assembly department. The maximum labor-hours available per month in the cutting department and the assembly department are 864 and 672 , respectively. The company makes a profit of $ 25 on each two-person boat and $ 40 on each four-person boat.

(A) Identify the decision variables.

(B) Summarize the relevant material in a table similar to Table 1 in Example 1.

(C) Write the objective function P .

(D) Write the problem constraints and nonnegative constraints.

(E) Graph the feasible region. Include graphs of the objective function for P = $ 5 , 000 , P = $ 10 , 000 , P = $ 15 , 000 , and P = $ 21 , 600 .

(F) From the graph and constant-profit lines, determine how many boats should be manufactured each month to maximize the profit. What is the maximum profit?

Rose Par posted Apr 5, 2025 9:01 PM Subscribe To: Store Owner From: Rose Par, Manager Subject: Decision About Selling Custom Flower Bouquets Date: April 5, 2025 Our shop, which prides itself on selling handmade gifts and cultural items, has recently received inquiries from customers about the availability of fresh flower bouquets for special occasions. This has prompted me to consider whether we should introduce custom flower bouquets in our shop. We need to decide whether to start offering this new product. There are three options: provide a complete selection of custom bouquets for events like birthdays and anniversaries, start small with just a few ready-made flower arrangements, or do not add flowers. There are also three possible outcomes. First, we might see high demand, and the bouquets could sell quickly. Second, we might have medium demand, with a few sold each week. Third, there might be low demand, and the flowers may not sell well, possibly going to waste. These outcomes…
