Multiple Choice

A company is developing its weekly production plan.The company produces two products,A and B,which are processed in two departments.Setting up each batch of A requires $60 of labor while setting up a batch of B costs
$80) Each unit of A generates a profit of $17 while a unit of B earns a profit of $21.The company can sell all the units it produces.The data for the problem are summarized below.
Hours required by
$$\begin{array} { r c c c } \text { Operation } & \text { A } & \text { B } & \text { Hours } \\\hline \text { Cutting } & 3 & 4 & 48 \\\text { Welding } & 2 & 1 & 36\end{array}$$
The decision variables are defined as
X_i = the amount of product i produced Y_i = 1 if X_i > 0 and 0 if X_i = 0
What is the objective function for this problem?

A) MAX: 17 X₁ + 21 X₂
B) MAX: 17 X₁ + 21 X₂ ? 60 Y₁ ? 80 Y₂
C) MIN: 17 X₁ + 21 X₂ ? 60 Y₁ ? 80 Y₂ d.MIN: 60 Y₁ + 80 Y₂
