Green Vehicle Inc., manufactures electric cars and small delivery trucks. It has just opened a new factory where the C1 car and the T1 truck can both be manufactured. To make either vehicle, processing in the assembly shop and in the paint shop are required. It takes 1/25 of a day and 1/60 of a day to paint a truck of type T1 and a car of type C1 in the paint shop, respectively. It takes 1/45 of a day to assemble either type of vehicle in the assembly shop.
A T1 truck and a C1 car yield profits of $300 and $220, respectively, per vehicle sold.
The optimum solution is:
Number of trucks to be produced per day = ? (round your response to two decimal places).

She has two ovens, one sink, a refrigerator, and enough room for two people to work at the same time. However, when Emma moves her business out of her home, she will have a commercial kitchen that can accommodate as many as six people working simultaneously. She had never thought of her business as “production” until the real estate agent who showed her the space asked how many production workers she needs to accommodate. At that point, Emma realized she would be running a production system. Even worse, she realized that she had never even visited a manufacturing facility or set foot on a real production floor. How will she ever manage this process?arrow_forwardFive workers are available to perform four jobs. Thetime it takes each worker to perform each job is given inTable 65.
