Exercise 14

The Riverwood Paneling Company makes two kinds of wood paneling: Colonial and Western. The company has developed the following nonlinear programming model to determine the optimal number of sheets of Colonial paneling ( x 1 ) and Western paneling ( x 2 ) to produce to maximize profit, subject to a labor constraint:

Determine the optimal solution to this nonlinear programming model.
