Boise Lumber has decided to enter the lucrative prefabricated housing business. Initially, it plans to offer three models:
standard, deluxe, and luxury. Each house is prefabricated and partially assembled in the factory, and the final assembly is
completed on site. The dollar amount of building material required, the amount of labor required in the factory for
prefabrication and partial assembly, the amount of on-site labor required, and the profit per unit are as follows.

For the first year's production, a sum of $8,200,000 is budgeted for the building material; the number of labor-hours
available for work in the factory is not to exceed 218,000 hr; and the amount of labor for on-site work is to be less than or
equal to 240,000 labor-hours. Determine how many houses of each type Boise should produce to maximize its profit…
Flint lab produces 4 high tech product types. Each of the products must be wired, drilled, assembled and checked for quality standard before being delivered to consumers. The time requirement and profit for each product are as follows. Product A: 0.5 hr for wiring, 3 hrs for drilling, 1 hr for assembling, and 0.5 hr for inspection. One product A can be sold for $10 per unit. Product B: 1.5 hr for wiring, 1 hrs for drilling, 3 hrs for assembling, and 1 hr for inspection. One product B can be sold for $13 per unit. Product C: 1.5 hr for wiring, 2 hrs for drilling, 3 hrs for assembling, and 0.5 hr for inspection. One product C can be sold for $16 per unit. Product D: 1 hr for wiring, 3 hrs for drilling, 2 hrs for assembling, and 0.5 hr for inspection. One product D can be sold for $12 per unit. The maximum capacity for wiring, drilling, assembly, and inspection are 1500 hrs; 2350 hrs; 2600 hrs; and 1200 hrs respectively. Flint lab requires that there will be at least 150 units of A, 100…

Because safety is a primary consideration at such events, many owners elect to install roll bars in their cars. Deegan Industries manufactures two types of roll bars for Porsches. Model DRB is a heavier roll bar that must be welded to the car’s frame. Model DRB requires 20 pounds of a special high alloy steel, 40 minutes of manufacturing time, and 60 minutes of assembly time. Model DRW requires 25 pounds of the special high alloy steel, 100 minutes of manufacturing time, and 40 minutes of assembly time. Deegan’s steel supplier indicated that at most 40,000 pounds of the high alloy steel will be available next quarter. In addition, Deegan estimates that 2000 hours of manufacturing time and 1600 hours of assembly time will be available next quarter.

Embassy produces the engines for both models at its Des Moines, Iowa, plant. Each EZ-Rider engine require 6 hours of manufacturing time and each Lady-sport engine requires 3 hours of manufacturing time. The Des Moines plant has 2100 hours of engine manufacturing time available for the next production period. Embassy’s motorcycle frame supplier can supply as many EZ-Rider frames as needed. However, the Lady-Sport frame is more complex and the supplier can provide only up to 280 Lady sport frames for the next production period. Final assembly and testing requires 2 hours for each EZ-Rider model and 2.5 hours for each Lady-Sport model. A maximum of 1000 hours of assembly and…arrow_forward
