Let number of standard model’s houses: x
number of deluxe model’s houses: y
number of luxury model’s houses: z
Find the inequalities based on the given information.
6000x+8000y+10,000z≤8,200,000
240x+220y+200z≤215,000
180x+210y+300≤237,000
Solve using solver in excel.
Enter the given data in excel.
In total column put the formula for the left hand side of the constraints.
For example, for material put the formula =C4*C2+D4*D2+E4*E2 where
C4 has material required for 1 standard model.
C2 is the variable for the number of standard models.
D4 has material required for 1 deluxe model.
D2 is the variable for the number of deluxe models.
E4 has material required for 1 luxury model.
E2 is the variable for the number of luxury models.
Similarly, for factory labor put the formula =C5*C2+D5*D2+E5*E2
for ON site labor put the formula =C6*C2+D6*D2+E6*E2
for profit put the formula =C7*C2+D7*D2+E7*E2
Open solver and set the objective at the total profit cell and select maximize, then add constraints.
press enter to get the values.
So, number of standard model = 275
number of deluxe model = 300
Number of luxury model= 415

Boise Lumber has decided to enter the lucrative prefabricated housing business. Initially, it plans to offer three models: standard, deluxe, and luxury. Each house is prefabricated and partially assembled in the factory, and the final assembly is completed on site. The dollar amount of building material required, the amount of labor required in the factory for prefabrication and partial assembly, the amount of on-site labor required, and the profit per unit are as follows. Standard Model Deluxe Model Luxury Model...
