Problem 1 (Example Page 91-92 Textbook)

The Xecko Tool Company is considering bidding on a job for two airplane wing parts.

a
Each wing part must be processed through three manufacturing stages—stamping, drilling,

vi
and finishing— for which the company has limited available hours. The linear
programming model to determine how many of part 1 (X1) and part 2 (X2) the company

ed
should produce in order to maximize its profit is as follows:

Problem 2 (P.39 Page 66 in Textbook)
A canning company produces two sizes of cans—regular and large. The cans are produced

a
in 10,000-can lots. The cans are processed through a stamping operation and a coating

vi
operation. The company has 30 days available for both stamping and coating. A lot of
regular-size cans requires 2 days to stamp and 4 days to coat, whereas a lot of large cans

ed
requires 4 days to stamp and 2 days to coat. A lot of regular-size cans earns $800 profit, and

ar
a lot of large-size cans earns $900 profit. In order to fulfill its obligations under a shipping

sh
contract, the company must produce at least nine lots. The company wants to determine the
number of lots to produce of each size can ( and ) in order to maximize profit.
