Apply linear programming to this problem. A firm wants to determine how many units of each of two
products (products X and Y) they should produce in order to make the most money. The profit from
making a unit of product X is 190andtheprofitfrommakingaunitofproductYis112.
The firm has a limited number of labor hours and machine hours to apply to these products. The total
labor hours per week are 3,000. Product X takes 2 hours of labor per unit and Product Y takes 6 hours of
labor per unit. The total machine hours available are 750 per week. Product X takes 1 machine hour per
unit and Product Y takes 5 machine hours per unit. Which of the following is one of the constraints for
this linear program?

Select the correct response:

 None of the choices

 1 X + 3 Y =< 3,000
 1 X + 5 Y =< 750

 2 X + 5 Y = 3,000

 2 X + 6 Y =>3,000

 2 X + 6 Y => 750

Apply linear programming to this problem. David and Harry operate a discount jewelry store. They want
to determine the best mix of customers to serve each day. There are two types of customers for their
store, retail (R) and wholesale (W). The cost to serve a retail customer is $70 and the cost to serve a
wholesale customer is $89. The average profit from either kind of customer is the same. To meet
headquarters' expectations, they must serve at least 8 retail customers and 12 wholesale customers
daily. In addition, in order to cover their salaries, they must at least serve 30 customers each day. Which
of the following is one of the constraints for this model?

Select the correct response:

 1 R => 12

 None of the choices

 1 R + 1 W => 30

 20 x (R + W) =>30

 8 R + 12 W => 30

 1 R + 1 W =< 8
