Manufacturer makes two types of electric hammers, heavy duty
and regular. Heavy duty model requires 3 hours to assemble and
½ hour to finish and package. Regular one requires 2 hours to
assemble and 1 hour to finish and package. The maximum
number of assembly hours is 24 per day, and the maximum
number hours available for finishing and packaging is 8 per day.
If profit on heavy duty model is $90 per unit and profit on
regular model is $72 per unit, how many of each model will
maximize profit?
Steps (show work for credit). Use separate paper.
1) Set up system of inequalities, find constraints and solve.
2) Graph the constraints and find feasible region. List all
corners.
3) Find point that produces the maximum profit. Show work
and use full sentences to answer the question.
