question 90

Multiple Choice

An electronics firm produces two models of pocket calculators: the A-100 (A) , which is an inexpensive four-function calculator, and the B-200 (B) , which also features square root and percent functions. Each model uses one (the same) circuit board, of which there are only 2,500 available for this week's production. Also, the company has allocated a maximum of 800 hours of assembly time this week for producing these calculators, of which the A-100 requires 15 minutes (.25 hours) each, and the B-200 requires 30 minutes (.5 hours) each to produce. The firm forecasts that it could sell a maximum of 4,000 A-100s this week and a maximum of 1,000 B-200s. Profits for the A-100 are $1.00 each, and profits for the B-200 are $4.00 each. What is the assembly time constraint (in hours) ?

• A)1 A + 1 B ≤ 800
• B).25 A + .5 B ≤ 800
• C).5 A + .25 B ≤ 800
• D)1 A + .5 B ≤ 800
• E).25 A + 1 B ≤ 800
