The Shader Electronics Company produces two products:
(1) the Shader Walkman, a portable CD/DVD player, and (2) the
Shader Watch-TV, a wristwatch-size internet-connected color
television. The production process for each product is similar in
that both require a certain number of hours of electronic work and
a certain number of labor-hours in the assembly department. Each
Walkman takes 8 hours of electronic work and 10 hours in the
assembly shop. Each Watch-TV requires 16 hours in electronics and 5
hours in assembly. During the current production period, 32 hours
of electronic time are available, and 25 hours of assembly
department time are available.
Each Walkman sold yields a profit of $40 ; each Watch-TV
produced may be sold for a $60 profit.
Formulate this problem as a linear programming problem to
determine the best possible combination of Walkmans and Watch-TVs
to manufacture to reach the maximum profit.
Use:
x = number of Walkmans to
be produced
y = number of Watch-TVs to be
produced
