Explanation of Solution

Calculating the extra payment:

  • Let x1 tons of steel 1 is produced, x2 tons of steel 2 produced and x3 tons of steel 3 is produced.
  • In order to maximize the profit, the following Linear Programming has to be solved:
  • max z= 8x1+5x2+2x3
  • Such that
    • 3x1+2x2+x3≤200
    • x1+x3≤40
    • x1+x2+x3≤100
    • x1,x2,x3≥0
  • The output of this Linear Programming is given below:
  • max z= 8x1+5x2+2x3
  • Subject to constraint
    • 3x1+2x2+x3≤200
    • x1+x3≤40
    • x1+x2+x3≤100
  • End
  • LP optimum is found at step 3
