The following information relates to Questions 10-11:
The production planner for Rienzo, Inc. produces two chemicals: Alpha (A) and Delta (D). Two of his resources are constrained: Jaya, of which he can get at most 8,400 litres per week; and Sanga, of which he can get at most 4,600 litres per week. Each unit of Alpha chemical requires 16 litres of Jaya and 7 litres of Sanga, while a unit of Delta chemical uses 8 litres of each type of raw material. Profits for the Alpha blend are £3.00 per unit, and profits for the Delta blend are £5.00 per unit.

The owner of Artisanal Chips etc. produces three flavors of artisanal corn chips marketed at new college graduates — pumpkin (P), chipotle adobo (C) and basement (B). He has a limited amount of the three ingredients used to produce these chips available for his next production run: 1,000 ounces of salt, 2,000 ounces of maize, and 1,200 ounces of herbs. A bag of pumpkin chips requires 2 ounces of salt, 6 ounces of maize, and 2 ounces of herbs to produce; while a bag of chipotle-adobo chips requires 6 ounces of salt, 6 ounces of maize, and 5 ounces of herbs. A bag of basement chips requires 2 ounces of salt, 3 ounces of maize, and 4 ounces of herbs. Profits for a bag of basement chips are $1, for chipotle-adobo chips is $0.60, and for a bag of pumpkin chips $0.50.
Formulate an LP that maximizes the profit of making chips using the resources on hand.

- ABC is a small manufacturer of two types of popular all-terrain snow skis, the J and the D models. The manufacturing process consists of two principal departments: fabrication and finishing. The fabrication department has 12 skilled workers, each of whom works 7 hours per day. The finishing department has 3 workers, who also work a 7-hour shift. Each pair of J skis require 3.5 labor-hours in the fabricating department and 1 labor-hour in finishing. The D model requires 4 labor-hours in fabricating and 1.5 labor-hours in finishing. The company operates 5 days a week. ABC makes a net profit of $50 on the J model and $65 on the D model. In anticipation of the next ski-sale season, ABC must plan its production of these two models. Because of the popularity of its products and limited production capacity, its products are in high demand, and ABC can sell all it can produce each season. The company anticipates selling at least twice as many D as J models.
