Winkler Furniture manufactures two different types of china cabinets: a French Provincial model and a Danish Modern model. Each cabinet produced must go through three departments: carpentry, painting, and finishing. The table on this page contains all relevant information concerning production times per cabinet produced and production capacities for each operation per day, along with net revenue per unit produced. The firm has a contract with an Indiana distributor to produce a minimum of 300 of each cabinet per week (or 60 cabinets per day). Owner Bob Winkler would like to determine a product mix to maximize his daily revenue.Use Solver to solve the problem.

- The Midland Tool Shop has four heavy presses it uses to stamp out prefabricated metal covers and housings for electric consumer products. All four presses operate differently and are of different sizes. Currently the firm has a contract to produce three products. The contract calls for 400 units of product A, 570 units of product B, and 320 units of product C. The time (in minutes) required for each product to be produced on each machine is as follows: Machine Product 1 2 3 4 A 35 41 34 39 B 40 36 32 43 C 38 37 33 40 Machine 1 is available for 150 hours, machine 2 for 240 hours, machine 3 for 200 hours, and machine 4 for 250 hours. The products also result in different profits, according to the machine they are produced on, because of time, waste, and operating cost. The profit per unit per machine for each product is summarized as follows: Machine Product 1 2 3…arrow_forwardTaco Loco Taco Loco is considering a new addition to their menu. They have test marketed a number of possibilities and narrowed them down to three new products, X, Y, and Z. Each of these products is made from a different combination of beef, beans, and cheese, and each product has a price point. Taco Loco feels they can sell an X for $17, a Y for $13, and a Z for $14. The company's management science consultant formulates the following linear programming model for company management. Max R = 14Z + 13Y + 17X subject to:Beef 2Z + 3Y + 4X ≤ 28 Cheese 9Z + 8Y + 11X ≤ 80 Beans 4Z + 4Y + 2X ≤ 68 X,Y,Z ≥ 0 The sensitivity report from the computer modelis attached onto the image. 3-1) The local cheese vendor offers to sell Taco Loco 200 pounds of cheese for these three products. Taco Loco should:A) refuse to buy any cheese.B) buy less than 80 pounds of cheese for $1.45 per pound. C) buy 46 pounds or less of cheese for $1.45 or less. D) buy at least 126 pounds of cheese for $5.33 or less.…arrow_forwardAn electronics manufacturing company has three production plants, each of which produces three different models of a particular MP3 player.

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. Determine how many of each model…arrow_forwardWeenies is a food processing plant which manufactures hot dogs and hot dog buns. They grind their own flour for the hot dog buns at a maximum rate of 200 pounds per week. Each hot dog bun requires 0.1 pound of flour.

Although the demand for denim is practically unlimited, the maximum demand for corduroy is 600 yards per month. The manufacturer has 6,500 pounds of cotton and 3,000 hours of processing time available each month. The manufacturer makes a profit of $3.0 per yard of denim and $4.0 per yard of corduroy. The manufacturer wants to know how many yards of each type of cloth to produce to maximize profit. How much extra cotton, processing time, and the demand for corduroy are left over at the optimal solution after formulating a linear programming model?
