Deutchlander Machine Company (DMC) makes two types of printing presses: a four-color lithoand a two-color litho. Demand for both products is booming and exceeds DMC’s ability to satisfyit. Most raw materials are plentiful, but production is limited by three factors: a shortage of steelrollers, gear cutting capacity, and roller polishing capacity. Each four-color press requires 16rollers, and each two-color press requires 8 rollers. The four-color presses require 30 hours ofgear cutting and 8 hours of polishing time, and the two-color presses require 12 hours of gearcutting and 3 hours of polishing time. DMC is able to buy 100 rollers per week, and it has 160hours of gear cutting time and 40 hours of polishing time available per week. To avoid harminglong-term sales, DMC does not want to raise prices. At current prices DMC will earn a profit ofDM24,000 on each four-color press made and DM10,000 on each two-color press made.

1. A company produces three different products; x,y, and z. For the production of 1 unit of product x, 1 unit of A and 1 unit of B are used as input. 1 unit of A and 2 units of B are used to produce 1 unit of product y. To produce 1 unit of product z, only 1 unit of A is used. The company holds 40 units of A and 20 units of B periodically in total. By the way, the company can not produce product y more than the twice of product z. On the other hand, the sale price of 1 unit of product x is 10 TL, product y is 15 TL and product z is 12 TL. Furthermore, the cost of 1 unit of product x is 8 TL, product y is 9 TL and product z is 7 TL. According to above information, what should be the company’s optimal product mix to maximize its profit? Construct the problem as a LP model. 2. Solve the above problem by using Simplex Method. 3.
