A television manufacturer makes rear-projection andplasma televisions. The profit per unit is $125 for the rear-projection televisions and $200 for the plasma televisions.
a. Lei.
b. The manufacturer is bound by the following constraints:
• Equipment in the factory allows for making at most450 rear-projection televisions in one month.
• Equipment in the factory allows for making at most200 plasma televisions in one month.
• The cost to the manufacturer per unit is $600 for therear-projection televisions and $9DC for the plasmatelevisions. Total monthly costs cannot exceed$360,000.
Write a system of three inequalities that describes theseconstraints.
c. Graph the system of inequalities in pan (b). Use only the first quadrant and its boundary, because x and vmust both he nonnegative. 1
d. Evaluate the objective function for total monthly profitat each of the five vertices of the graphed region. [Thevertices should occur at (0,0), (0,200). (300,200),(450,100), and (450.0).] *
e. Complete the missing portions of this statement: Thetelevision manufacturer will make the greatest profit by
manufacturing 300 rear projection televisions
each month and
month. The maximum monthly profit is $77,500

- If you are performing a break-even analysis for a business and their cost and revenue equations are dependent, explain what this means for the company's profit margins.arrow_forwardThe manufacturer of a weight training bench spends $15 to build each bench and sells them for $32. The manufacturer also has fixed costs each month of $25,500. (a) Find the cost function C when x benches are manufactured. (b) Find the revenue function R when x benches are sold. (c) Show the break-even point by graphing both the Revenue and Cost functions on the same grid. (d) Find the break-even point. Interpret what the break-even point means.arrow_forwardFor the revenue model in Exercise 10.206 and Exercise 10.210, explain what the x-intercepts mean to the backpack retailer.arrow_forward
- Two cars with the same purchase price are not worth the same amount at the end of the year. Some cars depreciate faster than others. A truck depreciates at 45%45% and a Jeep depreciates at 25%25% per year. Assume the initial purchase price is $19,000.$19,000. Use a spreadsheet to determine how much more the Jeep is worth in three years.arrow_forwardTh have $150,000 available to purchase additional equipment and 250 square feet of floor space to install the new equipment.

The cost for materials and labor to build a kitchen table is $240 and the profit is $160. The cost to build a dining room table is $320 and the profit is $240. Let x represent the number of kitchen tables produced per month. Let y represent the number of dining room tables produced per month. a. Write an objective function representing the monthly profit for producing and selling x kitchen tables and y dining room tables. b.The manufacturing process is subject to the following constraints. Write a system of inequalities representing the constraints. • The number of each type of table cannot be negative. • Due to labor and equipment restrictions, the company can build at most 120 kitchen tables. • The company can build at most 90 dining room tables. • The company does not want to exceed a monthly cost of $48,000. c.
