A chemical manufacturing plant can produce z units of chemical Z given p units of chemical Pand r units of chemical R, where: 140p 8p0.2 = Z Chemical P costs $300 a unit and chemical R costs $1,500 a unit. The company wants to produce as many units of chemical Z as possible with a total budget of $450,000. A) How many units each chemical (P and R) should be "purchased" to maximize production of chemical Z subject to the budgetary constraint? Units of chemical P, p = Units of chemical R, r = B) What is the maximum number of units of chemical Z under the given budgetary conditions? (Round your answer to the nearest whole unit.)

Question
A chemical manufacturing plant can produce z
units of chemical Z given p units of chemical P and
r units of chemical R, where:
140p®p0.2
Chemical P costs $300 a unit and chemical R costs
$1,500 a unit. The company wants to produce as
many units of chemical Z as possible with a total
budget of $450,000.
A) How many units each chemical (P and R) should
be "purchased" to maximize production of chemical
Z subject to the budgetary constraint?
Units of chemical P, p =
%3D
Units of chemical R, r =
B) What is the maximum number of units of
chemical Z under the given budgetary conditions?
(Round your answer to the nearest whole unit.)
Max production, z=
units
