A furniture company is producing three types of furniture. Product A requires 7 board feet of wood and 4 lbs of wicker. Product B requires 5 board feet of wood and 5 lbs of wicker. Product C requires 4 board feet of wood and 3 lbs of wicker. There are 3000 board feet of wood available for product and 1400 lbs of wicker. Product A earns a profit margin of $35 a unit, Product B earns a profit margin of $42 a unit, and Product C earns a profit margin of $20 a unit. Formulate the problem as a linear program.

Given:

Product A requires 7 board feet of wood and 4 lbs of wicker.

Product B requires 5 board feet of wood and 5 lbs of wicker.

Product C requires 4 board feet of wood and 3 lbs of wicker.

Available wood = 3000 board feet

Available wicker = 1400 lbs

Profit margin of A = $35 per unit

Profit margin of B = $42 per unit

Profit margin of C = $20 per unit

To find:

The linear programming problem for given situation.

Solution:

Let the number of units produced of products A, B and C are x, y and z respectively.

                                Product A       Product B           Product C      Total

Board feet of wood       7                       5                       4               3000

wicker                            4                       5                        3               1400

Objective function: Maximize

s.t.,

Board feet of wood  :

Wicker :

Number of units  cannot be negative. So, .

Therefore, the required LPP is

Maximize

s.t.,

d is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= 8 because 3x = 3 * 8, and 3*8 = 24

answer:

125 yards

explanation:

75+50=125. that is my answer
