- Making furniture Two woodworkers, Chase and Devin, get 100 for making a table and 80 for making a chair. On average, Chase must work 3 hours and Devin 2 hours to make a chair. Chase must work 2 hours and Devin 6 hours to make a table. If neither wishes to work more than 42 hours per week, how many tables and how many chairs should they make each week to maximize their income? Find the maximum income.

The yield is 300 bushels per acre for crop A and 500 bushels per acre for crop B. Research and available resources indicate the following constraints. • The fruit grower has 150 acres of land available. • It takes 1 day to trim the trees on an acre of crop A and 2 days to trim an acre of crop B, and there are 240 days per year available for trimming. • It takes 0.3 day to pick an acre of crop A and 0.1 day to pick an acre of crop B, and there are 30 days per year available for picking. What is the optimal acreage for each fruit? What is the optimal yield?arrow_forward
- Production Manufacturing DVRs and TVs requires the use of the electronics, assembly, and finishing departments of a factory, according to the following schedule: Hours for DVR Hours for TV Hours Available per Week Electronics 3 4 180 Assembly 2 3 120 Finishing 2 1 60 Each DVR has a profit of 40, and each TV has profit of 32. How many DVRs and TVs should be manufactured weekly to maximize profit? Find the maximum profit.arrow_forwardFeasible region all part of this problem refer to the following Feasible region and objective function. {x0xyx+2y12x+y10}P=x+4y (a) Graph the Feasible region. (b) on your graph from part(a) , sketch the graph of the linear equation obtained by (c setting P equal to 40,36,32 and 28 . (c) if you continue to decrease the value of P, at which vertex of the Feasible region will these lines first touch the Feasible region . (d) verify that the maximum value of P on the Feasible region occurs at the vertices you too chose in part(c).arrow_forward
