The Garden State Aerospace Corporation manufactures parts for F 16 fighter jets. One of the major components requires a milling process followed by a threading operation, and finally an assembly into a larger subassembly. Two variations of the component are used, one for domestic aircraft and for export. The domestic design requires 2 minutes of milling, 3 minutes of tapering and 6 minutes for assembly per unit. The profit per domestic unit is $ 0.70. The export component requires 2 minutes of milling, 6 minutes of tapering and 8 minutes for assembly. The profit per export unit is $ 0.85. The total weekly capacity of the milling machine is 700 minutes, while the capacity of the tapering machine is 500 minutes. The weekly capacity of the assembly operation is 900 minutes. Both components must be manufactured. 3) Using the Method of Linear Programming, develop the merit function, constraints and bounds for this problem. Determine the most profitable number of units of each type to manufacture as well as the profit. a) b) (20 pts)
