XYZ Inc Produces Two Types of Printers-Regular and High-Speed $50.00\$ 50.00

Question 55

Multiple Choice

XYZ Inc. produces two types of printers-regular and high-speed. Net contribution is $50.00\$ 50.00 per unit from regular and $70.00\$ 70.00 per unit from high-speed. Regular uses 2 units of recycled plastic per unit, and high-speed uses 1 unit of recycled plastic per unit of production. XYZ is committed to using at least 5,000 units of recycled plastic per month. A critical machine is needed to manufacture the printers. Each unit of regular requires 10 units of time in this machine and each unit of high-speed requires 3 units of time in this machine. The total time available in this machine per month is 15,000 units. Let X1X_{1} be the number of units of regular produced per month and X2X_{2} the number of units of high-speed produced per month. Imposing both of these constraints and non-negativity constraints, the objective function value corresponding to the optimal solution to this problem (assuming the first number in parenthesis is X1X_{1} and the second number in parenthesis is X2X_{2} ) will be


A) 350000
B) 125000
C) none exists
D) 250000
E) 35000
