1. A.

C = # Number of acres used to grow corns

T = # Number of acres used to grow tobaccos

Objective: Max Z = 300C + 520T

Constraint:
410>= C + T
52,500>= 105C + 210T
100>= T
C,T >= 0

B.
The best solution is C= 320 and T=90 with total profit $142,800.00 , so there are no unused
acres. But, they don’t use all of the tobaccos required by government

C.
If only corn planted, 410 corn is the optimal number of acres used for corn only. The
objective function must be as slope as the constraint, so as the constraint have -1 slope, we
can calculate -c1/520=-1 and so the corn must give $520 or more to be the only thing
Bradley family grow.

D.
It will change. The optimal solution would be to use 500 acres to grow corn only with
150,000 profit.

E.
 Assuming that they get an extra 50 acres, it will result the optimal solution would be 420
acres for corn and 40 acres for tobacco, with profit of $146,800.00. So yes, it will effect the
plan

F.
No, because an additional land will only increase profit by $80 bucks lower than the
proposed price.

H.
For each dollar, they will get an additional more or less 2,1 additional profit.
