Maximizing Profit. Cambridge Metal Works manufactures two sizes of gears. The smaller gear requires 4 hr of machining and 1 hr of polishing and yields a profit of $45. The larger gear requires 1 hr of machining and 1 hr of polishing and yields a profit of $30. The firm has available at most 24 hr per day for machining and 9 hr per day for polishing. Assume that all that are made are sold. How many of each type of gear should be produced each day in order to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit?

After final assembly and painting, the parts are placed on a comveyor belt that moves the parts past a final inspection station. How fast the parts move past the final inspection station depends upon the line speed of the conveyor belt (feet per minute). Although faster line speeds are desirable, management is concerned that increasing the line speed too much may not provide enough time for inspectors to identify which parts are actually defective. To test this theory, Brawdy Plastics conducted an experiment in which the same batch of parts, with a known number of defective parts, was inspected using a variety of line speeds. The following data were collected. Number of Line Speed Defective Parts Found 20 22 20 21 30 19 30 17 40 16 40 17 50 14 50 10 (a) Develop a scatter diagram with the line speed as the independent variable. * 25 25 25 25 20- 20 20 20 2…arrow_forwardThe cost of operating a bus involves the cost of gasoline , the driver's wage and other maintenance cost.

- Use the chart to get the answers to the question. Please help.arrow_forwardANSWER THE FOLLOWING A company produces two types of tables, T1 and T2. It takes 2 hours to produce the parts of one unit of T1, 1 hour to assemble and 2 hours to polish. It takes 4 hours to produce the parts of one unit of T2, 2.5 hour to assemble and 1.5 hours to polish. Per month, 7000 hours are available for producing the parts, 4000 hours for assembling the parts and 5500 hours for polishing the tables. The profit per unit of T1 is $90 and per unit of T2 is $110. Set T1 = X1 ; T2 =X2 ; Z=Profit Profit Equation would be: a. Z= 90 x1 + 110 x2 b. Z= 1.5 x1 + 2.5 x2 c. Z= 2 x1 + 3 x2 d.
