Each coffee table produced by Home Woods nets the firm a profit of $15. Each bookcase yields a $20 profit. Home Wood’s firm is small and its resources limited. During any given production period (of 1 week), 20 gallons of varnish and 15 lengths of high quality redwood are available. Each coffee table requires approximately 2 gallon of varnish and 1 length of redwood. Each bookcase takes 1 gallon of varnish and 2 lengths of wood. Assume minimum 4 coffee table and 5 bookcases should be produced per week.
Formulate this manufacturing problem and then find the optimal solution.
Since the objective is to maximise the profit, the objective function is
Max (15X+20Y)
where X and Y are the number of coffee table and bookcase manufactured respectively.
Constraints
2X+y<=20
X+2y<=15
X=>4
Y=>5
The points of optimality are ( 4,5.5)(5,5) (4,12) and (7.5,5)
Value of objective function
at (4,5) = 160
at(5,5) =175
at(4,12) = 300
at(7,5) =205
The most optimal value is X=4, Y=12 with output of 300
