A manufacturer has the capability to produce both chairs and tables. Both products use the same materials (wood, nails and paint) and both have a setup cost ($100 for chairs, $200 for tables) . The firm earns a profit of $20 per chair and $65 per table and can sell as many of each as it can produce. The daily supply of wood, nails and paint is limited. To manage the decision-making process, an analyst has formulated the following linear programming model:
Max 20x1 + 65x2 - 100y1 - 200y2
s.t. 5x1 + 10x2 ? 100 {Constraint 1}
20x1 + 50x2 ? 250 {Constraint 2}
1x1 + 1.5x2 ? 10 {Constraint 3}
My1 ? x1 {Constraint 4}
My2 ? x2 {Constraint 5}
Which of the constraints limit the amount of raw materials that can be consumed?
A) Constraint 1
B) Constraint 4
C) Constraint 5
