Quality Air Conditioning manufactures three home air
conditioners: an economy model, a standard model, and a deluxe
model. The profits per unit are 63,95, and $135, respectively. The
production requirements per unit are as follows:
For the coming production period, the company has 220 fan
motors, 340 cooling coils, and 2,500 hours of manufacturing time
available. How many economy models (E), standard models (S), and
deluxe models (D) should the company produce in order to maximize
profit? The linear programming model for the problem is as
follows:
A. Use Linear Programming Excel Solver Solution to Determine the
optimal mix of air conditioners to produce to to maximize the
profit. In other words, how many of each of the three air
conditioners should the manufacturer produce?
B. Based on the results in part (a), identify and interpret the
range of optimality for each of the three objective function
coefficients.
{Interpretation Hint: The solution of [x1=12 rolltop
desks] and [x2= 4 regular desks] remains optimal as long
as the [profit per unit of a rolltop desk] remains between [$45]
and [$135]}
C. What is the estimated change in the objective function value
(i.e., profit) if the company were to obtain 50 additional fan
motors?
{Interpretation Hint: An increase of one unit in the
right-hand-side value of the [Maple Constraint] leads to a change
of [7 dollars] in [total profit of Sidneyville]}
